Depends. I’m not racist and believe that evryone has something to share, and I tend to keep an open mind.
If a Nazi chooses not to hang with a Jew? Choice or racist?
If a guy chooses not to hang with drug doers?
As you can see, it varies. Really, really varies.
And can you specify? this question is not clear enough, but it’s getting there… just tell us how you thought this question as.

racism is discriminating on a person because of the color of there skin or the size of there body

freedom of choice is being able to make decisions without someone dictating

racism is not an act. It's a belief. If you choose not to hang out with an ethnic group for whatever reason, you have the right to that. That's freedom of choice. But if the reasoning behind any decision is that a group is inferior to your race based on what you perceive to be their racial identity, that act would be considered an act of racism. Anyway, ethnicity and race aren't the same thing. Ethnicity takes a lot more into account, like religion and culture, and when you think about it people do that all the time. People tend to stay around people who look like them, think like them, act like them and so on.

its both. its your freedom to choose to be racist. lol. but why should it matter what somebody's race is that you can't just sit down and have a conversation with them. it seems like you are a mean person and you need all the friends you can get. beggars can't choosers.

The act of not hanging out with a certain ethnic group is freedom of choice.

The judgement you pass on to a whole group of people based on experiences with a few individuals is racism.

So in effect it’s both. You are free to be racist.
