Does it make you racist if..................

[Hatterlovesbrighton]

No, he's xenophobic surely?

Surely Xenophobia is the hatred of all foreign persons. He (as far as we know) just hates Australians. Some may argue that "Australians" aren't a race of people but for the purposes of this debate I'd class them as a "race" so yes he is racist.

Are you talking about aboriginals or the convicts deposited there? I would have thought the aborignals in Australia were the true Australian race.

 

[Mellotron]

Can you please tell me how Pakistan is a race then ?

The word "paki" is often a racist term because it is usually used to refer to someone based on their ethnicity/skin colour, rather than their country of origin.

i.e. 99.99% of the time, someone saying "Have you seen those pakis that have moved in over the road?" would have no idea whether those people are pakistani, indian, sri lankan, bangladeshi, etc. It's plain ignorant, and makes people look THICK and BACKWARDS.

[Sir Nigel of Eagleshire]

Would you be offended if I called you a twit? This is also a statement of fact.

In your opinion, but you are just guessing. And no I wouldn't be offended in any case, I have been called significantly worse ...

Good point. They`re wogs till you know their nationality not Paki`s.

How's what I put "down to opinions"? Most people who use the word "paki" don't usually know whether the person they're referring to is Pakistani, or Indian, or Sri lankan, do they?

By the dictionary definition, if you don't like people PURELY based on their ethnicity/place of origin, then yes, course that's what racist is.

i didn't know that

 

[Muhammad - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

Surely Xenophobia is the hatred of all foreign persons.

i would suggest it is an irrational FEAR of someone with foreign origins.
could be wrong, wont be the first time

there's something very 'fawlty towers' about that

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

hate is a very strong word,it could only be applied to someone who has harmed you or someone close to you,that's pure hatred

whereas just disliking a group of people for a general reason,would surely mean the whole world is racist

 

[BadFish]

I met a bloke the other day who told me that his sister had gone to England and taught in a rough school in East London and had a bad experience with some of the students and parents so she, and he hated the Poms. He was looking at me as if I had to defend my nation or some how explain or justify the behaviour of my fellow Brits. I told him that to write off a nation of 60 million because she had met and had problems with a few of them was frankly stupid as all groups of people have their scumbags. Don't think I did anything to help with his dislike of the British.

 

[BadFish]

don't like aussies and they are white and speak english,what am i

An idiot for a ridiculous generalisation.

Or the many millions of people who are neither.

Amazing! I think I was right with my diagnosis.
