Jawas seem to be a fully sentient species with a culture and a language so is Threepio being racist when he calls them "Disgusting creatures"?
I think he is.
They almost certainly have individuals, they are indigenous people who live on the fringes of Tatooine society so labelling them all disgusting creatures based on his experience with a few of them sounds pretty racey to me.
It's been established Jawas don't smell too good, and that Threepio has olfactory sensors. Also, they hot-welded a giant metal nipple to his chest, shot his little buddy, and illegally sold the both of them to the crankiest moisture farmer this side of the Dune sea, who can't even remember he had the exact same protocol droid working for him many years before!
Buying droids from out the back of a rusted out sandcrawler is like buying home theater gear from some guy in a van, but I digress...
And lets not forget who had the thankless task of piling up the dead Jawa bonfire while mister "I'm a Jedi Knight" just stands around? Cut Goldendrod a little slack, he was just having a bad couple days in a row.
Based on the Skywalker family's experiences with the Sandpeople, I'm not about to invite them over for blue milk and cookies! ;)
