Last night, my sister came home with a manicure.  She showed my mother, who said, "I can tell you went to Asians.  Asians are amazing at doing nails."  My sister told her that her statement was racist.  My mother countered by saying that what she had said was a positive stereotype and, as such, could not be racist.  She then had me look up the Merriam-Webster definition of racism, which proved her wrong.  My mother's final argument was that racism is not racism if the stereotypes are true, her example being, "Some people say that all Muslims are terrorists.  All Muslims are not terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslim".  I have got to get out of my house.
