If your answer is yes, why? I assume your response is that any decision which is affected by someone's race is inherently a racist one. If that is the case, does that mean President Nixon was a racist because his administration aggressively pushed affirmative action? Or how about people who choose not to date people from a similar ethnic background? Does that mean that people who won't adopt kids from outside their race are racist?
I think it's sometimes difficult to discern what is really racist.

Im sorry but the answer to all of your questions is yes.It is racist to not adopt a kid just because of race.It is racist to not date someone just because of race.And when it comes down to it, affirmitve action is racist ,even though it was needed and has probably done a lot of good.To me, anything that gives someone an advantage or disadvatage based only on race is racist.I believe the words race, age, and sex should be wiped off of any and all applications and tests.That information is just not relevent and grouping people like that only serves to push a wedge between people.
