I think you should reread what I wrote. I said that I hadn't met any french nationals that I like, but caveated it with the possibility that there are french people I would like, I just hadn't met them.

So, yes. The French are a race. Therefore disliking them is racist. I'll leave others to take the logic to its inevitable conclusion.

OK, now I'm amused.
That definition that you're using means that "American" is a RACE. That means people who don't like all Americans are racist, right?
In the law, there's a thing called an "absurd result". You just tumbled into one by declaring french people to be a "race". "French" is a nationality, not a race.
