Europeans will also be like British people treating Polish people like shit, or various flavours of white people from adjacent communities deciding the other white person needs to be struck from the earth.

Europeans can absolutely be violently racist. I mean, who do you think sold all those slaves to the US?

yeah exactly, we don't need someone to have a different skin colour to be racist, that's a simple man's racism. us europeans only do the finest of racisms - normal people with normal white skin (my village) vs the weird people with a similar skin but their accents are kinda weird and scary (all the other villages, and especially that one village over there)

(huge /j in case that wasn't obvious)

Polish people are not a race...

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 17 hours ago

No people are races. Jesus cantankering Christ. Race isn't real, it's pseudoscience.

Define “race” and then tell me that an anglo person is the same as an eastern European person.

Do you not understand the difference between a race and ethnicity or nationality?

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

The first sentence of wikipedia: “Race is a categorization of humans based on shared physical or social qualities into groups generally viewed as distinct within a given society.”

Also you not understanding that there are physical differences, if more subtle, between Eastern Europeans and those descended from Celts and the like is a you problem.

Why did you quote Wikipedia for a word definition? I don't care what some randoms write in Wikipedia, we have established definitions agreed upon by experts and governments. Please refer to a better source like Oxford dictionary and learn the actual meaning of racism

Also, I'm from East, a Slav, who constantly travels to Scandinavia (Nordic countries)

This guy is Polish: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmanuel_Olisadebe, I can define race however you want, Polish is not a race.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I said Polish because they are the group of easter Europeans that are most readily gone after in Britain. British is also not a race, by the way.

Ya stupid.

So... It's not racist, you say?
