What indicates racism is viewing everyone of "them" (whatever group that may be) as a collective.

When you say, "hearing these cultures say, 'we didn't do it'" is like saying things like "blacks say this" or "jews say that" or "muslims say this or that" which are things that many racists say.

Cultures don't say anything. Individuals do. Ours is a culture of individual responsibility. Thinking otherwise, and holding another group responsible for the sayings of any individuals may be racism or bigotry, depending on the type of group.
