But "we're all human", again with the generalization, means, what, that anything is allowed, as human? Why the need to generalize, to have some WORD or such that is some kind of answer? Once you allow a generalization like that (a truism as well, in this case) then what follows? That is why I refuse to acquiesce to such vague things - they can be used to discriminate and justify all kinds of brutal things.
No simple sentence is going to cover all things. X situation or Y person or Z law is or is not racist. Generalization end up being argued about for no good reason. All that matters, again, as I have said, is the particular situation. Generalizations are for the lazy or the weak minded.
