Can Compliments be Racist?

In short, yes.

You can hope that if you know the person well enough they will laugh after leaving you to hang for an uncomfortable silence where you have to wonder where you fucked up. I've always felt that racism involved intent, but that isn't necessarily true, I can insult somebody by stereotyping without meaning to.

I try to keep it to minimum of five minutes. More than that, and you're off to the next slur about my race, McViking.

However, I agree on the point that words, in and of themselves are not inherently racist.

It's the meaning behind them that holds the weight.

Therefore, I propose that it truly is the manner in which the word is used that can inflict the most harm.

How about if somebody said "dinner is mac an cheese, fried chiken and watermelon" that cant be racist it's about food.

"It is impressive how they are so motivated and impelled to being conscientiously work-shy."

Have we crossed a line yet?

"They sure show an affinity for fisticuffs, imbiding strong liquor, procreating and the potatoes, do they not?"

Your skin is a lovely shade of orange. Are you from New Joisey, mayhaps?

Or are you running for a political orifice?

Yes. I feel like any form of stereotyping can be considered racist.
