I think ideograms suck because they are an extremely bad writing system
That's nice, but what you originally said was that "the Japanese don't have a functional writing system", which is bigoted, because it constitutes an unreasonable belief/prejudice against a particular group of people ("the Japanese"). It's an unreasonable position because the Japanese writing system is obviously functional, as millions of people use it to great effect every day.
imperial units suck because they are an extremely bad measurement system
This is not bigotry because it isn't an unreasonable belief, and it doesn't target/prejudice against one specific group (other than 'imperial measurement users', which isn't really an identifying or culturally significant group).
Bonus question: If I say it's an excellent time to drop the Gregorian calendar do I win at racism for expanding it to the whole world?
Bonus answer: no, bigotry targets/prejudices against a specific identifying group. "The whole world" doesn't qualify as a group that you can be bigoted against. Hating everyone makes you a grumpy curmudgeon, but not a racist.
Hope this helps.
