So now that that is cleared up, would it not be logical for someone who doesn't know better to presume all blacks have sickle cell anemia or are at least at a very high risk if they meet [arbitrary number] of blacks and they all have it? Hence, while it takes a true dumbass to do it it is still logical to be racist sometimes.

something that occurred to me about that scenario

even if its a genetic characteristic
like the sickle cell anemia in the example

if youre going to apply it across the board to a people

youre still using appearance for your snap judgement since each population has different racial charactistics that make us look different than each other but the same as other people of our group
