Does a comedian telling a racist joke make him a racist person?

I could say someone is a black bastard and it wouldn't make me racist. Real racism is the belief that races have certain traits or charecteristics because of their race, believing that they are inferior because of their race etc, that is racism. Suarez calling Evra those names means he was trying to wind him up, it doesn't necessarily mean he believes black people are inferior, likewise having black friends or being friendly with Glen Johnson doesn't mean you are not a racist.

It is your beliefs and ideologies that determi e whether you are a racist person or not. Don't see why that is such a ludicrous thing to say?
