>It would be racist - actually racist, not the politically correct “racist” - to suggest all members of the same race have the same beliefs.
That's not what being racist means. Here's a definition.
characterized by or showing prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.
His statement showed neither prejudice, discrimination or antagonism.
- helen___keller 4y agoTo suggest all members of race X hold opinion Y by virtue of their ethnicity is a form of prejudice. OP has not stated this directly but come very close, implying that members of race X, for whom their race is part of their identity, will support opinion Y if such is preferential to members of their race. At its core this is still prejudiced. Op has thrown a zillion cultural confounders and nuances to the wind and presented an argument based totally on race.

You've just described demographic research. Prejudice is defined as such: preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience. >At its core this is still prejudiced. Op has thrown a zillion cultural confounders and nuances to the wind and presented an argument based totally on race. Reductive perhaps, but not prejudice.
