It makes me think about how we as a people decide to communicate discrimination.

If a certain type of discrimination of perception arises due to stereotypes, but by and large affects certain racial groups, then is it racism ? It also affects women as it does those who do not abide by personality traits of the valley's cargo cult or the Ivy MBA.

Yeah. I think in such cases a sincere apology is at the minimum warranted.
