are you racist/sexist, even though society say they are "wrong"?

Acknowledging those results as averages is not, of itself, sexist. applying value judgements to individuals on the basis of them is. I think there's a distinction to be made there.

this isn't the case or it would make me sexist to point out that men have XX chromosome and women have XY

My point is that the word has already been trivialised, I wasn't trying to increase it in any way, just point out to some people that it's modern definition is just silly. I honestly don't see the huge problem you have with this.

Lolfail.

Defined literally, everyone is both sexist and racist, and every other -ist you can think of. Countering sexism and racism are political easy wins in this obsesively equal but totally skewed society. If I present to you a black man, a white man and an asian man, and ask who was most likely to have eaten curry for breakfast, it would be rational to say the asian man. Simplistic and pointless, yes, but this makes you racist.

Racism itself is not a problem. Everyone forms stereotypes about everything. This natural fear reflex to anything 'different' becomes a problem when people are attacked, denied employment, criminalised etc. As a Brit, I can go to almost any country in the world and expect to be treated differently to locals (whilst I try to overlook the fact that my fellow countrymen are probably smashing up the bar, starting fights or abusing the locals). Equally someone dressed in traditional Maasi tribal dress strolling through Hull will probably get a glance or two. This doesn't mean I or they will be stabbed, robbed, fired or arrested on sight. There's racism and RACISM. Everyone is racist. Few are RACIST.

people feel racism is wrong if they are more certain about their own life, and feel sorry for people who may be discriminated because of their race, but this person also believes his/her views are superior to those who are racist, so he's a erm viewist? concluding; someone who feels he has the right to feel sorry for other people of other races, must in fact have a superiority complex him/herself over; the races he is vouching for to protect, and the racists.
hows that for shoddy psychology

Depends what your definition of sexist/racist is.

Deep down, I expect the best people at maths to be white/asian, middle class, and male. However, that doesn't mean I think black, working class, or female people can't be amazing at maths, it's just less likely. I'm female and working class and I consider myself to be good at maths.

There's a difference between acknowledging some demographics outperform others, and believing black people/working class people/women should be banned from university for their inherent inferiority.

Because that will often prevent the best person for that job from being hired for that job, maybe?

Seriously, why do you feel the need to ask such stupid questions?

Why is it wrong to deny employment based on race?

I'm not racist, one of my friends is black.

I didn't mean to make that judgement - but if I must, I believe it is indeed wrong. Clearly there are cases where it is justified. I could hardly play a black character in a stage production, nor could I realistically work in a halal butchers or - for the sexism example - be a wet-nurse (not that I've tried). But in general there is no real excuse for denying employment based simply on a factor which should bear no relation to ability.

I would argue that it would take enforced brainwashing to 'neutralize' a society in terms of racial stereotyping, and I would rather not go through that.

And if a business owner only wants to hire x group of persons, then why not?

But...we do live in a country VASTLY superior to most others in terms of human rights and equality, and I think there comes a point where a certain level of 'racism' is simply unavoidable. I would argue that it would take enforced brainwashing to 'neutralize' a society in terms of racial stereotyping, and I would rather not go through that. Same goes for sexism and xxxism - where xxx can be replaced by virtually any noun.

It is EXTREMELY TRENDY to be overtly anti-racist. It is a political goldmine and a very simple subject to talk about and listen to. Racism in Britain is NOT a big issue. It has terrible consequences for some - but there will always be depraved members of society who make the entire country look like a KKK fan club. Racism is hyped up and there are FAR more pressing issues out there - like the ECONOMY!
