I went to a casino about having them try a new game. When the DTR asked if I have any live data, I replied that one if the casino that wanted it did not have the clients for this side bet to be practical. It was in Harrington DE and baccarat was only opened on weekend and only when one big player came in and asked it be opened.
I stated that baccarat is an Asian game and followed it by saying that blacks like craps. When I mention "blacks" she walked away saying that she disagreed.
I am thinking of keeping my observation to myself but wtf, Macau has 90% baccarat tables. Craps tables are full of blacks because they like rolling the dice.

While your observation may or may not be correct, it certainly is not a racist statement. There are some who want to inject the "racist" tag in everything; you can't waste your time paying attention to them. The demographics of a product do matter and should be considered in placement of the product.
Just like those trying to say Mark Cuban is racist for saying that he exercises care in where he walks at certain times, people will try to label others as racist when they really just have no worthwhile input.

You forgot I'm a bigot in the poll! Lol
As for this, meh, I think you're mostly pointing out the preferences in the games by race. It would have sounded better if you said, "more Asians play baccarat and more blacks play craps".

When you are selling something you have to be careful about anything possibly controversial. You probably can't win bringing up a subject like that ... it's kind of obvious anyway. Now you've got this woman leery.
That statement is not racist. It could be construed as bigoted. There's a difference. The bigotry would be in the category of "Blinkered, narrow-mindedness, usually also very intolerant ..." The lady maybe thought she was getting whiff of that [rightly or not]

You assume that skin color allows you tell certain characteristics of a person, like, in this case, fondness for rolling the dice. That, by definition, is racist.
Non racist statements: I have observed that the average percentage of Black people at a craps table is higher than the average percentage of Black people playing other casino games. In an unrelated note, I assume that the appeal of craps to the players stems from the fun of rolling the dice.

Bigoted. To be racist, the person would believe his race to be superior to the characteristics assumed.
If the person is making a valid generalization that he realizes does not transfer necessarily to any individual, then he is guilty of nothing but is vulnerable to all sorts of assumptions by sticking his neck out.

Funny.
As an adult white working atheist heterosexual male, I am part of that minority who is not protected at all. On the contrary, most protection (or politically correctness) rules are, implicitly, judging that I am part of some supremacist conspiracy, and the others have to be protected against me and my similars.
Yet, in my life, I have never felt that I wielded such power... On the contrary, we have become the punching-ball of every human-rights group.
It is time that we receive some protection !

Now that is interesting - Wikipedia agrees with you. The English version that is. In German language, the supremacy part is not a neccessary requirement for "Rassismus", which is the translation of "racism" - or is it? There is a similar word to bigotry as well - "Bigotterie" - but it actually means hypocrisy.
It seems to me that "Rassismus" = "bigotry" AND / OR "racism". Since this is an English forum, I withdraw my earlier statement.

On your voting options (and getting back to the thread's topic in vain), you left out
[] racist, yes, but not hurtfully racist, so no apology.
Not many will agree, but consider:
1. Racism is operating on the basis of race, or thinking of a subject "in terms of race" - or the application of race to something not inherently racist (like a gambling table)
2. Often racist sentiments are of a derogatory or malicious "down-putting" nature, but;
3. Sometimes, it is NOT of a malicious nature, but simply assuming that race may be involved or related to its appeal, as a "non-malicious association" involving race. Nothing derogatory about a table game preference (aside from the Big-6 wheel.)
Baccarat is openly considered an Asian game because of its popularity and patronage with a particular demographic. Pai Gow Poker (which is an American-invented game), deliberately incorporates an Asian spin to it, although it is seldom seen outside of the U.S.
Craps is considered a "black" game because historically blacks ALSO played it (as did whites), in comparison to poker, which was considered a "good old boy" game for decades, prominently played mainly by whites, prior to Phil Ivey.
Golf was considered "white" prior to Tiger Woods.

Another way of defining a racist remark
1. It's about race.
2. It's too general to be held factually correct. Or in worst case scenarios, it is not true at all. And it usually is a negative rather than a positive attribute.
You could say blacks enjoy fried chicken more than anyone. Or Asians are great at doing laundry. Those are racial stereotypes and should be avoided.
Blacks can't be quarterbacks. ( negative. Too general. Not true. About race.)
And that's been said before.

I don't need to do that to have a "valid point"--I have one, thank you...no need for your validation at all. If you thought the point was invalid, you could have looked up the poll and argued against it if you felt the data was incorrect.
"Gallup has, since the time of Smith's article, asked random samples of black Americans on a number of different occasions about their preferred terminology, using question wording that includes the explicit "doesn't matter" alternative.
Some people say the term "African-American" should be used instead of the word "black." Which term do you prefer -- "African-American" or "black," or does it not matter to you either way?"
http://www.gallup.com/poll/28816/black-african-american.aspx
Anyone can call anything they want "racist" but simply stating that one group likes one game does not meet any realistic definition of racism:
racism or racialism (ˈreɪsɪzəm, ˈreɪʃəˌlɪzəm)
— n
1. the belief that races have distinctive cultural characteristics determined by hereditary factors and that this endows some races with an intrinsic superiority over others
2. abusive or aggressive behaviour towards members of another race on the basis of such a belief
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/racist
rac·ism
noun \ˈrā-ˌsi-zəm also -ˌshi-\
: poor treatment of or violence against people because of their race
: the belief that some races of people are better than others
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racism
People are so anxious to call things "racist" that they don't bother to really figure out if they are or not. It is simpler to holler "racist" than to think about the statement and realize there was no racism, intended or unintended. The statement could be true or false; it still would not be racist if it were false--there is no talk of mistreating others or of superiority.

Ace, I don't know anything about your background, but I detect English as a second language in your writing. Please don't think that I am criticizing. Your English is very good. It is clear that you understand that race is a sensitive topic in the US, but is is possible you do not completely realize how sensitive. Race relations have been a long painful conflict that is not yet fully resolved. It is an emotionally charged topic for many people of all races.
In a business setting dealing with clients or customers, the subject should be avoided unless it it absolutely relevant. People's reactions are hard to predict and overreaction is common. If it is necessary to discuss race, words must be chosen very carefully. People often will read prejudice into your words whether it is intended or not. As soon as you start a sentence with "blacks like..." many people will stiffen and brace themselves for an ignorant stereotype before you finish the sentence. I am not saying it is fair but it is a reality of American life.
As I said, I don't know your background so forgive me if I have assumed incorrectly.

We are living in a world where those who wants to point fingers don't examine anything other than their narrow view.
Pt 1. Why is it ok to call white people white? Why are they not called European Americans?
Pt 2. Why are Asians called Asians? Why are they not called Asian Americans? Why exclude them from being called Americans?
Pt 3. When did the term Afro Americans not become acceptable?
Is it wrong to profile? It may be but if you need an operation done, would you take a person more seriously who had the white coats that a doctor wears or would you take a person who was wearing jeans and a t-shirt. If I was opening up a bar-b-q rib joint, I would not open it up in a middle of a Jewish neighborhood.
To say that certain games do not appeal to certain people is absolutely wrong.

If I was opening up a bar-b-q rib joint, I would not open it up in a middle of a Jewish neighborhood.
To say that certain games do not appeal to certain people is absolutely wrong.

JimRockford, My background is that I do not fear what "whites" fear. Once a white person is tagged as a racist, even if it is not true they cannot shake this prejudice.
You are correct that I should keep some observation to myself. I erred in giving too much information. I should have left it at "some places do better with some games than others." That last statement is so broad as not to offend anyone and also adds no substance.
If you detect English as a second language in my writing, it is because of my science and math background. Equations and formula make more sense than words. f=ma makes more sense than explaining force is change of momentum respect to time. Also Ask a direct question, and you will get a direct answer from me.
I learn quick so in future I will avoid race, gender, alpha type etc.... but it does not make it less true that certain games do better with certain people. I was also going to add that roulette is more popular with Europeans than Americans.
