Quoting aenigma x: Quoting libralady: Quoting aenigma x: Quoting vineyards: In addition to what I previously said, we must actually be talking about ethnic hatred which is of course quite different from racism. |
How? |
How for sure? I feel that ethinic hatred is maybe worse than so called racism, which often ends up with a genocide. I could quote a few but I am on my way to the pub! |
I dont know why you distinguish between the too. Ethnic and racial hatred are BOTH racism surely? |
I distinguish between the two only to point out that they share the same country, fellow country men! I don't see a difference, may be a poor use of words.

Quoting vineyards: They are different from one another to the extent of the difference between them. I am not implying one is innocent and the other brutal. My use may be wrong but is essentially centers around the notion that ethnic hatred is sparked by armed dispute and takes place violently. Whereas racism is almost perpetual.
I used the example of Americans hating the guts of japs as they called them,and attempting organized attacks on them and German Americans during the WWII to show that it does not last. |
It is strange that you used American examples while the most obvious ones to me would be the "cleansing" of the Jews during World War II and the bosnian muslims during the 1980s!

Quoting vineyards: You are right. I just picked one example. Maybe not the best example. |
There are plenty to choose from..... so dont think you made a mistake, you could have said the ethnic cleansing in Darfur, or Rwanda .............
