Have you ever said something to someone of another culture or ethnicity and later wondered if it was patronising or slightly racist?

A hashtag on Twitter has inspired thousands of people to share their experiences of "ignorant" things white people have said to them: The hashtag #WhiteProverbs has trended in the US and Australia.

Anne-Marie Tomchak of #BBCtrending meets the person behind the trend and asks if it verges on racism or is just a bit of a laugh at white people's expense?

Is this racism? Why / Why not?
 
It seems racism only exists when people are making fun of a non-white race.
