Are you racist?

[Alex]

Except you hardly mentioned any racial stereotypes but rather nationalist stereotypes. Which points out another issue with racism, our tendency to equate culture with race in a causal relationship where there is none.

"Polish" is not a race, it's a nationality.

I get it.
But don't both play a part in stereotypes about people? That's what the list is stereotypes of people's race, nationality etc.

Yes, but in explaining why you didn't include gay stereotypes, you said you were limiting your list to race. Alex was simply pointing out that in doing so, you highlighted a common confusion between race and nationality that adds to the complexity of the issue.
