If I was in China, and described a fight to you: "I saw two guys get into a fight"--you would assume they were both Chinese. If I said to you (still in China) "I saw the police arrest a white guy"--you would assume the police were Chinese. It's context, not necessarily racism.

Agreed..not racism..Nowhere did I call that out. My point is just awareness of some of our statements MAY be interpreted as stereotypical.
Around my daughters I would never say "Some air head woman in a mini-van hit my car...I may think it but I'd be careful not to say that in mixed company.........Know what I mean?
