There's an interesting story at Politiken barometer: Danish newspaper rates black icons on scale of evil | Metro News

The top is Angry (with, I presume, society), the bottom is Integrated.

The left is Bad, the right is Good.

There are some choices there that I'd take considerable issue with, starting with Malcolm X, but I really don't see why it could be described as racist.

Is it racist? If it is then I don't understand what the word means.

I'd suggest it's racist in as far as it's one sided - they do not provide an equivalent chart for Caucasian or Oriental "icons".

Well, if Malcolm X is their idea of an angry evil black man, then they have missed it completely.
