There is a difference between racism and generalizations. If you meet 20 South Africans, and 18 are racist, not taking that info into account is foolish. It becomes racism when you start saying the other 2 must also be racist. But it would not be racist to assume that a 21st person you meet will be racist unless shown otherwise.
