Race and culture are not the same thing and it’s a big pet peeve of mine that Americans always link the two.
A Slav that was born and grew up in China would be Caucasian but culturally Japanese.
Accusations of racism should stay limited to disparate treatment based on skin color or race exclusively and not extend into the cultural domain. Cultural preferences are not racist, full stop.
When I say culture, I mean the local culture, which is often defined by the demographics of the area.
I can see how that is confusing, but there is more than one interpretation of the word.
Also, wouldn't the Slav who grew up in China be culturally Chinese?
They would probably also experience racism as defined by being treated differently because of their race. Their experience of what would most likely be a small pocket of people who have integrated them surrounded by a larger pocket that would automatically treat them as a westerner would mean that their cultural experience would be inversely analogous to a Chinese person who grew up in Poland.
