That's a bit racist, and irrational too.

Edit: Actually, what am I thinking? That's a lot more than "a bit" racist…

If I replaced "niggers" with "african americans* is it still racist? Honest question.

The fear itself would be just as racist (since it is based solely on race and very over-generalised), but the wording would be significantly less shockingly offensive.

In that case I'll stick with "niggers".
