"African" is not a race.

Now if you narrow it down to just one of the races from Africa, then you are a racist son of a *****!
Given the variety of ways race is defined, Africans could be considered a race. The most broad definition of a race is simply a population of people with something in common. Talking about Africans as a whole would fit that.
Personally, while it could certainly be seen as racism when using the broader definitions, I prefer to just call it prejudice as that is what racism is rooted in anyway. It's also being an ignorant ass hat, but we'll just stick with the more proper descriptor.
