Forgot Colombia my bad

Holy hell I've done that by accident. Called a Cuban Mexican and man it did not go well

But screwing up the nationality not your race, if you are white, you are white in America in Europe and in Mexico. Where you are from doesn't make a difference.

'Cept Polish people are seen differently. Romanian people are seen differently. Russian people are seen differently. Your country of origin comes first, skin color second, in Europe

I think for a while there Italians weren't considered 'white' in southern Jim Crow America. Legally they were, but socially they were ostracised for behavior rather than color. People will find a lot of reasons to draw lines.

They did something similar with the Irish

Well why don't both of you just dredge up shit from 120 years ago. Go ahead. Jim Crow America. For goodness sake. That was before 2 World Wars and whatever has happened since. Grow up.

@this_isntme Oh, silly me! I didn't know that when looking for historical examples of modern issues to illustrate that a problem is persistent and pervasive we weren't allowed to go earlier than 2000! Thank you for illustrating another problem: that dumb fucks on the internet will always stick their noses in to comment whether they understand where the conversation is going or not! Go learn some reading comprehension. I know it was a long time ago, fuckstick, I was pointing out that it's common for people to be 'racist' against groups considered their own skin color and has been for a long time.

That's because skin colour does not equal race. Race is a more distinct ethnic group based on culture, history, language, and physical features.
