+4 Neither of them is racist. They are just generalized observations about groups of people in various locations. . No doubt many people will answer that they are both racist as this seems to be a lot of peoples favorite fixation these days. In fact it seems that even thinking a racist thought these days is worse than committing multiple rape and murder.

They are both racist because you made a comment about a group of people which could not be true of all that belong to that race.

None. The statements are just generalizations. And they balance each other to be racist statements.
-
neither,they are just observations
-
neither one is racist because you are just reporting on your observations ... if you had said "Philly is a bad place to be because of all the blacks" or "Salt Lake City is boring bc of all the whites", then yeah, that's racist

I think that both statements are opinions. I do not think either statement is racist. I would have to see more from the person making the statement(s) to deem them racist. If the person said "blacks are aggressive" or "whites are aggressive" then I would say that they are racist statements. IF, however, one statement is deemed racist, both would be equally so.

The first one, because ( I believe) there would exist a reasonable number a black people who would find it racist ( with some assumptions).
