I don't get how, in 2022, people don't actually know what the definition of racism is. Argue to death about a word they don't even know the meaning of. Mad world we live in.

I’ve shown you two examples of the definition of racism now. If anyone is wrong, it’s you
The one you literally just posted yourself is pretty much identical to the Oxford English Dictionary one. And you're still arguing. I'm not sure what more help I can give you here.

But the one I posted says very clearly “general belief about a whole group of people based only on their race” is racist
They’re referring to the racial profiling you say isn’t racist.

The one you posted from Google has that bit at the end and it clearly says it's from "theories of racism". It's not the dictionary definition that the rest of the world has been going off until about 5 minutes ago.

It's generally accepted that the Dutch are tall.
Aye he's fucked it.

The bit I copied and posted on my last post was from the Oxford learners dictionary.
The Collins dictionary is nearly the same. Word for word. And the Cambridge
The Dutch aren’t a race

If a racial stereotype is perceived as racist by the recipient, then it's de facto racist. End,

The Dutch are apparently an "ethnic group ". Is it ok to stereotype them?
The Albanian

It’s not ok IMO. Wouldn’t be racist though
But saying the Dutch are statistically taller than average isn’t a stereotype or a trope. It’s a statistic.

No embarrassment at all? What a weird bloke you are.
Not necessarily.
It can be offensive and not meet the definition of racism. The lad doesn't want it to be sung, which is the important thing here. The rest is just trying to brand someone as 'racist' for points scoring.

It's not OK? Bet they couldn't give a fuck.
So it's not racist then.
Happy with using a disability slur against someone who can't help it either? Pretty hypocritical.

You asked whether it’s was “ok to stereotype them”
That’s not the same as saying they’re talk. I agree they wouldn’t give a fuck about that statistic. Feels like you’re gagging to be fuming here
No one used a disability slur. It’s slang for thick. Pretty common knowledge. Might even find it in your unlinkable dictionary
