Racism only exists in certain demographics and if you are a "white American" you are not part of that demographic.

RE: Is this racist
lol. It just sounds a bit racist... for some reason. But I reckon it depends on who said it, what inflection was used and the intent behind the words.

RE: Is this racist
So this came from a black HR representative during code of conduct training.

Follow up email included:

Do you know what questions are appropriate and/or inappropriate during an interview? Listed below are 10 questions you should never ask while interviewing:

1. Where were you born?
2. What is your native language?
3. Are you married?
4. Do you have children?
5. Do you plan to get pregnant?
6. How old are you?
7. Do you observe Yom Kippur/Good Friday/Ramadan, etc.?
8. Do you have a disability or chronic illness?
9. Are you in the national guard?
10. Do you smoke or use alcohol?

RE: Is this racist
It's not uncommon to hear some dialects refer to a shot (of whiskey) as a snort.
