- Gothmog69 2y agoStupid and lazy analysis.... they were not English. The French and the Germans were also not English. Nothing to do with racism it was nationalism.
- melesian 2y agoFrench and Germans were not depicted in English publications as apes. The Irish were coerced into the UK and were officially British citizens, that is ostensibly, co-nationals. They weren't treated as such because those in power regarded them as subhuman. If that isn't racism the word is devoid of meaning.
