A white guy saying "blacks are the best basketball players", would not be called racist since he is ascribing to blacks a characteristic that says blacks are superior to whites. This stereotype might be called biased but not racist.

CBS would say you're wrong.

Jimmy 'The Greek' Snyder canned for 'racist' remarks

Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder is fired after 12 years as a CBS football analyst for remarks he makes to a Washington, D.C, television reporter about the physical abilities of black and white athletes. Among other things, Snyder, 70, says the black athlete is "bred to be the better athlete because, this goes all the way to the Civil War when ... the slave owner would breed his big woman so that he would have a big black kid."

I would say biased would be along the lines of me saying Barry Sanders is the greatest running back of all time because I am a Detroit Lion fan.

By the way, Barry is the greatest running back of all time
