A quick google search isn't really the best way to argue a point. The definition of Racism has been changing for years. People will disagree on the what the exact definition is. I would not include an ethnic group in the definition of racism. It is not a physical characteristic that you can't change. It is a culture that you can.

I had this argument a lot in London with people who believed remarks about Irish stereotypes aimed at me were fine cause I was white but all the definitions I could find in law say otherwise

Ethnicity is exactly something that you cannot change.

The whataboutery, blatant provocatism and unreasoned bias comes out EVERY time we have a thread that involves travellers.

Thread closed for review to see if this can be salvaged via cards and threadbans.
