<Snipped quote by GreivousKhan>

Americans are commonly stereotyped as gun loving, but I guess stereotypes don't allways translate into characters.

Perhaps things are racist or not depending on how reasonably accurate it is? Having a roman character running around everywhere in a toga would likely be considered racist but if they go into battle with a Gladius then that could be considered reasonable. But someone of a different race (doing this in real life) realistically and respectfully portraying a black person would still likely be considered racists.

Are you certain you're using the word correctly? A racist is someone who discriminates based off someone's race. Reinforcing negative stereotypes can be an example of this, but that's not really what's happening in any of those examples.
