Are you racist if you don't like mixed people?
Yes. Typically, if you hate mixed-race people, you generally only dislike one of their races. However, it is also possible to hate someone just for being mixed and based on stereotypes about them or expectations that you don't think they are meeting. If you see them as part of your race and you don't think they are acting appropriately for people of your own race, then even if you are not actually being racist, you are engaging in stereotypes or believe that people of certain races have to act a certain way. So that would be discriminatory, even if it might not be racism in the classical sense.

How do stereotypes cause prejudice?
Stereotypes cause prejudice because it is a false misconception about a race, which ruins their reputation. For example, it is a common stereotype that african-americans cause a lot of crimes. This is a very untrue statement, but a lot of people believe it, and so therefore that can lead people to become racist against blacks, when in reality the stereotype isn't even true. This doesn't just apply to african-americans though -- all races have stereotypes that cause misconceptions in their race, and therefore lead to racism.
