Debating the difference between “racism” and “racist” is not the point here. As I said before, I think Imus is just a convenient scapegoat for society to relieve their guilty conscience about racism. I feel sorry for him. People like him are only giving people what they want. It’s the consumer, not the producer, who need to change.

You misunderstood. A racist is simply one who practices racism. This is the thought that a race is inherently superior to another. His statement didn’t meet any sort of threshold for being racist.
