filth, yes, that is correct... I am making that case. When the Irish were discriminated against or the Italians, or the Germans in the 1800s, it's still discrmination based on race, which is racist.

But based on your thoughts... So it's not racist for the pakistani to discriminate or hate the indian...

so then hate crimes are only the ones where it's white on black...

but pakistani against indian, n. korean against s. korean, mexican against guatamalan....

those are just intracial crimes right? not hate crimes?

dc.. It may not have institutional backing and historical siginificance, but check the basics of the definition of racism. If you want things to be equal it's not about dominant institutional practices, it's about fairness to everyone regardless of color, creed, etc.
