"some" - many if not most, but what would I know apart from living there and knowing many non-racist people.

"some" - many if not most, but what would I know apart from living there and knowing many non-racist people.
- tyingq 9y agoI specifically chose "some" because I have no idea what the split is, and again...I don't presume racism.
- Zenst 9y agoYet the wording use of "some" implies a minority and that infers the majority are racist, which counters you explanation and probably you intentions. No denying all countries have racists, they get to vote and in many cases are a small minority and yet so many project the few upon the many and run with it that it is utterly shocking to see and disenfranchising at best.
- tyingq 9y agoEdited. (though "some implies a minority" is debatable. look it up) However, you keep saying "racist". My point was racism is less likely than xenophobia. Country of origin and religion aren't race.
- Zenst 9y agoRacism and xenophobia are very much symbiotic and hand in hand, lets just call them unwarranted discrimination. But then, are religious people xenophobic towards non-religious people as that does hold more true than people care to discuss and does seem to be a bigger issue in many a country.
