Are Asian's racists, when they insist that their children marry within their race, or deny citizenship on racial grounds

They may insist, but look around there have been many Asian-non-Asian marriages (not so much here, but quite a lot in the UK) and Asians denying citizenship on racial grounds??? Weird, considering a sizable chunk of Asians ARE Caucasians (folks from the Indian sub continent -- 1.5 billion of them)

My point is that when you pass the rascist word around so easily it begins to lose meaning, using the operational defination of racist as it is used in America today, 90% of the world qualifies as racist. As far as the genetic history of the human race goes to disqualify or quibble over racial designations, same thing...if there is no race, than there are no racists. Words mean things...or they don't. Hurling the word racist around as a way to intimidate people is nothing but intellectual boshelvism.
If you are not aware of it, you should be, that you cannot be a citizen of Japan unless you are racially Japanese. Koreans who have lived there for generations are not allowed to vote. Folks from the Indian sub-continent are different racially than the European folks, they would say so and so would nearly everyone else, except you I guess. I am aware of the genetic connection between the two peoples and between all of mankind for that matter..so your argument is that it is all an illusion..okay fine, but the folks in Asia, on the subcontinent, In Africa and in pretty much the entire world actually see, react to, and discuss these differences. Is it all a "white male" construct inflicted on these huge groups of people...China actually built a huge wall to keep immigrants out...I am quite aware oif inter-marriage between races and that is a good and fine thing my whole family is quite the rainbow, but that is irrelevant to our conversation.
