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.

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?
