Is forcing one's own culture onto people of other ethnic groups a form of racism?
It is most likely not, unless they do this with the belief the other person's culture is inferior to their own. Most likely, it is just ethnocentrism and cultural bias, not racism. Everyone came to be a certain way, and the people they grew around had a bearing on that. We all tend to expect others to be like ourselves, and are thus blind to other cultures unless we spent a lot of time with them. Since the ethnic groups have traditionally been isolated, they all have different ways of doing things from what is expected by members of other groups. So when someone interacts with you in a way that is not expected, it is likely uncomfortable, but not racism.
