Suppose you give a toddler the choice between watching a cartoon show on television, and an Obama speech. If the child says "Yuck" to Obama, he's clearly a racist. This would seem to fit nicely into the Obama/socialist logic table, and adopted by everyone.

Typical white kid, I guess. But I was wondering - does it work the other way? If, say, a Muslim immigrant from Sudan is disgusted by pork or western clothing, is she a racist?
