The difference in my mind between those who are idiots and racists is whether they examine the patterns for their meaning – their truth. Are they accurate – and to what degree are they accurate? Does this person actually exhibit that tendency, or not? Are you willing as an individual to deal with other individuals as individuals?

But even the most enlightened person, completely willing to accept and interact with all others on an individual basis, will by nature of the nature of their very minds, perceive patterns, some of which will fit stereotypes (or can be easily taxonomized as stereotypes).

I call bullshit on those who claim that racism is a particularly white phenomenon. All races stereotype other races. Just examine the stereotypes and cultural divisions in Asia – Korean vs. Chinese vs. Japanese – and those are only the most coarse-grained distinctions. I am quite certain there are all sorts of “racist” stereotypes that exist in all of those cultures about themselves and each other.

Everyone knows racism still exists, but on a more subtle level as years go by. If you had similar statistics every year for the past 50 years you would see depolarization of some sort.

Oh and the response rate of Middle Eastern girls is because women from the Middle East are hot; More specifically girls from Palestine.
