Love how they just call everything racism
Except actual racism, that's fine plus it happened so long ago stop bringing it up
One european nation disliking the other: racism
Actual racism: is fine
Well of course...its racism against white people. By other white people. Which is the worst kind of racism, apparently.
Truly the definition of racism
Racism can easily include ethnicities/nationalities such as English and Scottish. The difference doesn't even have to be real considering race as a whole is largely a social construct once you get past the melanin.
Just look at the Irish being excluded from "whiteness" in the 19th century.
Hell, it's in Britain, and there's Old English uses of the term "races of men" that use race to basically mean tribe or clan.
Would it make you feel better to call it "clannishness?"
All that said, I don't think this is the kind of racism, the expression of nationalistic grudges, you need to bust out the placards and start marching in the streets against.
The thing is I consider what you described xenophobia not racism. Racism is purely based on skin colour
Then you're just wrong, Whoopi.

What even is this article?
I see you lied about trying to learn from your mistakes, Whoopi.
Sad.
Be better.
So Brits cant be racist towards the Irish then?
The way I see it no. They can be xenophobic and hateful but that is not racism per se.
