Yes because if you are against slavery means you don't aprove of unpaid labor because of race, doesn't mean you can't hate them for color. You can hate a race, but don't like the fact of using them for unpaid labor.

What is the Biggest misconception black people have about white people?
The previous answer claiming that white people are racist may have been answered by a person prejudiced against white people, black people or both. Racism and bigotry stink. Most of the people I know are not racist, black, white or other. Despite the color of our skin, despite our country of origin, despite our religious beliefs, despite the differences between us...we are all the same. When we bleed, we bleed red blood, we are all susceptible to the same diseases. We are all simply people. People are people.

You are considered a racist if you hold the opinion that a person or a people is inferior or has negative character traits simply because of his race. So, saying a thing like "all Arabs are fanatics" would certainly be a racist remark, apart from being incorrect.

There it happens to be perpetrated by Arabs but in the recent past the fight has been against the 'Caucasian' Northern Irish IRA and the Serbians in the Yugoslav wars for largely the same reasons.
