Racism

Is it racism if it's the truth?
If some people live up to their stereotypes, and not just one but many, is it not accurate to call them out for what they are?

For example, in my time in Sunnyvale, I have been surrounded by Indians. Of course they're friendly nice people, but they sure do live up to the stereotypes of being smelly (like curry), not willing to give bargain (stupid taxi driver), and are mainly engineers (I'm in silicon valley and 80% of the people I see in this area are Indians). Not to say these are all bad qualities.

I'm sure Koreans live up to their stereotypes of being stubborn, smelling raunchy (courtesy of kimchee), smoking a lot and loitering around. I am guilty of all and so I'm not going to take offense if someone calls me Korean because of these traits. I understand that some people WOULD be offended because of this but I think that if majority of Koreans are like this, that you know what? Just deal. That's who we are and even though you don't have ALL the traits, you are still what you are.
