No one cares if Americans and Canadians make derogatory remarks about each other because there isn't a background of decades of warfare and an ongoing slaughter with one side always having the upper hand and murdering ten times as many people as the other.

What a completely useless analogy.

idk who you're referring to but I specifically said the Israeli government and IDF.

Mind you, 90%+ of the population seem like they'd love a full on genocide but NOT RACIST OH NO.

But that's ok, we all know that's what people do when they know they were wrong about something but don't want to admit it.
It's shocking to me how clueless people are about what racism is.

It's always predicated on a power imbalance. No one cares if some Canadians want to call Americans a bunch of obese burger-eating morons and some Americans want to call Canadians a bunch of moose-****ers, and no one is going to slate either group for being racist.

I don't think you have any reason to assume racism for something which is more easily explained by nationalism, particularly when a nation has been at risk for survival over its entire history.

And when may of the people of the respective nations are of the same race, as someone else pointed out.

The US definitely has a power imbalance against Canada.

But maybe this is a better example:
When 5 or so Arab countries attacked israel at the same time, they clearly thought there was a power imbalance favoring them. Do you think they were racist against the Israelis?

Btw 72off, in plain English you've now said "about the entire country" of Israel are "psychotic, racist pieces of ****"

So the final question is:

Does that include the 2M Arabs living there? Pretty curious where that lands.

Nitpicking.


Do you see the difference between

Some Americans referring to Mexicans as rapists

and

Some Americans referring to the French as cheese eating surrender monkeys or some Germans referring to the English as insalaffen (island apes)

If I said that 90% of Gaza wanted to murder all the Jews, how quick to you think I get modded? And do you get why I would get modded?

I think people have said that here, or words to that effect.

And I was quoting my Israeli friend on another forum. I can ask his permission to reproduce what he said if you like? He knows a lot more about Israelis than anyone here that’s for sure.

Honestly "island apes" sounds more racist than rapists. Blacks in the US seem to think that comparing them with apes is pretty racist.

Can Iranians be racist against Israel?

What about Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon if they all gang up?
