Alex, I think your statement “In fact, people blaming whites for actions of our ancestors is inherently racist.” is correct as far as it goes. Blaming anyone or any group for the actions of their ancestors is wrong. If it is a race based claim it is certainly racist, if it is a nationality issue like like (dumb pollacks, etc) then it maybe better classified as something else. Either way it is still unacceptable to me and I would hope to everyone else.
