Is it racist?

Results | Messages
I was in class recently and there was a word problem. It said "Lee looked up at Chang Ye at and angle of elevation of 35 degrees..." I said, "Hey, he must be Chinese." A friend of mine quickly said, "Hey, that's racist to assume that." So what do you think?
Do you think it is racist or prejudice or stereotypical to assume someone named Chang Ye is Chinese?
Yes, I think that is racist, prejudice, or stereotypical.
No, I do not think that is racist, prejudice, or stereotypical.
I am unsure about that.
