'White' isn't an ethnicity.

"Black" isn't a single ethnicity either, so by your logic it's impossible to be racist to them?

Making a small assumption about someone's hot sauce preferences isn't racist nor prejudiced; that's just making a generalization.

Generalising based on someone's race is racism, surely you know that?

If an Asian walked into my restaurant and I looked him up and down and said "you should probably have the fried rice", that would be racist.

It doesn't matter whether there's "injustice" to the statement, or whether he took offence. It'd still be a racist statement.

Clutch your pearls and continue to desperately vie for offense

The only one doing that here is you. As I've already stated, it's so mild a form of racism that I doubt anybody cares. But it's still racism. Racism that you feel very passionately should be protected or encouraged.
