      Do you think any race is real?

      Sure, the human race. Assuming we’re on the same page with that, it makes this bickering seem even more absurd. ✌️

        We are a species. Which by the way isn’t strictly real, but at least more real than what people mean with “race”.

          Sure, none of these labels are strictly real; they’re just words, but that have meanings. If someone instead was upset with the current actions of Isreal and said “fuck Israelis”, is that racism to you to?

            Yes and since you have time to check my comments go and find me where I’ve said “fuck Israelis”. I’ll wait.

              Lol! I did no such thing. It’s just an easy target on Lemmy. Even if it is in your history, I can assure you it’s in many other people’s too. I was also thinking about an Alabamian generalization, but figured Isreal was more topical.

              But now that you’ve outed yourself: shame on you ya dirty racist! 🤣

                  Oh, I misread your post then. I thought you were accusing me of diving into your history. I haven’t, so I couldn’t say what you have said. However, I never accused you of saying anything in the first place. Without that, your comments make no sense.

                    Then we agree that saying “fuck Italians” or “fuck Israelis” is pretty racist, since it is an unmotivated and generalized insult to a whole group of people identified by their country of origin?
