    What?

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism

    Racism is discrimination and prejudice against people based on their race or ethnicity.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnicity

    An ethnicity or ethnic group is a grouping of people who identify with each other on the basis of perceived shared attributes that distinguish them from other groups. Those attributes can include a common nation of origin, or common sets of ancestry, traditions, language, history, society, religion, or social treatment.

    It’s possible to be racist towards anyone. If you’re white go spend a couple of months in China and you’ll understand that after being told by multiple people that intelligence varies by skin colour and white people are in the bottom half.

        I wouldn’t be so sure, I’ve been in arguments with a whole lot of people that were arguing that racism against my nation is impossible because it’s mostly white…

            They did not.

            They compared the relationship between a thought (racism) and what they believe is a disparate group (French people), to a thought (racism) and a disparate species (dogs).

            The key comparison is about the relationship between racism and a group.

            They could have said anything for the second example.
