Racist? Hmmm......
I don't believe what you are saying qualifies you as an actual racist. I would need to see you demonstrate a more general race based prejudice before I would come to that conclusion. instead, consider this definition lifted directly from the Wikipedia:

"A bigot is a prejudiced person who is intolerant of opinions, lifestyles, or identities differing from his or her own.

The origin of the word bigot in English dates back to at least 1598, via Middle French, and started with the sense of "religious hypocrite", especially a woman. Bigot is often used as a pejorative term against a person who is obstinately devoted to their prejudices even when these views are challenged or proven to be false."

I would say that you are more closely allied with this definition than that of a racist. I might consider Ultra-Nationalist, isolationist, uninformed, ignorant, or stubborn as plausible alternatives; still, the term Bigot seems to have the appropriate cachet and would be my first choice.
