This is racist since you're only using race to base your decision. I understand how you can begin to feel overwhelmed. I often feel that way about Latinos, but my best employee is Latino so I get over it.

Definitely racist. However, I've seen this same stereotype put out by a number of Blacks, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

7. I prefer Asian immigrants to South American immigrants.

Are you "pro-Asian" or "anti-southamerican"? I suppose it's somewhat racist to like one better than another, but EVERYBODY does that.

Jesse Jackson said basically the same thing. He's allowed though.
All in all, I doubt that you are any more racist than 99% of the country. IMO, you've gone too far if you would actually hire a white person even if a non-white person was more qualified or vice versa. If you're only guilty of generalizations and stereotyping, you're normal. If you allow those prejudices to carry over to individuals when you are making judgements, then you need to work on it.
