I'm culturist. That is there are certain cultures I really don't like. The Muslim women who have to sit quiet while their husband's answer all the medical questions for them for eg. Some of those groups are tied to racial groups so yes, I do cringe slightly when I look at the names on my list sometimes, and that is prejudice. The thin end of racism to be sure but it's there. That said, one of my best friends at uni was / is black and he's cheerfully racist about white folks! Used to call me snowflake. I love that guy.
it doesn't actually matter that some cultures are tied to racial groups. Being against cultural practices is not at all the same thing as judging based on genetic make-up.
For instance, I despise the misogynist practices of several religions and cultures regardless of race.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
