Whether or not a generalizing bigot is a racist depends on more than that. Given the example, the chances are high. However, there is no French race and I find the calling of the entire population of France a single ethnic group a bit disgusting. So no, in isolation I would not call French-hate racism, but it still doesn’t make it right. Just like calling someone a “piece of shit” on the internet.
So you feel it wouldn’t be right to hate on a whole population, but still can’t call it racist unless individuals of said population share the ethnicity.
Which is equivalent to saying that if we were to mix all different populations we would defeat racism. We would then have a different kind of hate based on country of origin, culture, language or whatever and that wouldn’t remotely sound like racism, right?
Nope. That doesn’t sound like a reasonable comparison at all. Ancestral heritage and cultural affiliation are significant parts of the artificial social construct of “race”. And no, I do not believe you can defeat racism by mixing everyone together until we all share the same appearance and background. If anything, I think truly defeating racism would be celebrating those differences, not covering them up.
To be honest though, I’m mostly just being pedant because of your language in the original comment. You make some good points, but nobody makes any ground when they start off by calling people names. I suspect most of the downvotes are the result of the same kind of thinking. ✌️
You are really trying hard to justify your idea of racism. I’ll have you know that it is on par with what fascist people in my country do. You should see them, it’s ridiculous the length they are willing to go just to be shitty small humans.
As for my wording, I already told you I don’t care. If you are looking for someone that explains you obvious things gently go to mom and dad.
Also if you think upvotes and downvotes have any importance I guess you should part ways with the internet for a while, because it doesn’t sound like a sane person thought.
