Cretans Are Always Liars, Evil Beasts, Lazy Gluttons--This Testimony Is True

I wonder if people would call Paul a racist or bigot or in sin when he said under the guidance of the Holy Spirit (who is God):


Tit 1:10 For there are many rebellious men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, 11 who must be silenced because they are upsetting whole families, teaching things they should not teach for the sake of sordid gain. 12 One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons." 13 This testimony is true. For this reason reprove them severely so that they may be sound in the faith, 14 not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
