The old sea hag Jemima made an assumption about Gina, based on Gina's skin colour. It was ignorant, it was foolish but I just can't see it as racism.

I live in an East Asian country, and people make assumptions about me based on my skin colour all the time. They assume that I can't use chopsticks, they assume that I can't eat spicy food and they assume that I can't speak their language. As it happens, I can do all of those things and I take delight in showing them. Yet I never feel that I'm a victim of racism. If they were hunting me down, spitting on me, attacking me and denying me basic services then I would cry racism. But simple, albeit ignorant, assumptions are not racism in my book.
