Comment on If everyone spontaneously became the same race the world would realize that the rich are the real problem

  Are you kidding? I've heard Scots and English vilely denegrate Welsh, Germans denegrate Saxons, English denigrate black people...on and on and on.

    Black people denigrating blacker people, Indians denigrating darker Indians, and so on. Yeah, we’re tribal, evolved that way.

    These people all bent over the word “race”. Meh. Give it a rest. The word used to be in common parlance, now I never here it IRL, despite being told us Southerners are the most racist people on Earth.

      I'm in the deep south and I hear it a lot, from every race.

        People use the word “race” in conversation? Hard to get my head around! Not doubting you, but we don’t talk like that. OTOH, we’re seriously race (heh) mixed in NW Florida. My block is a nearly perfect cross-section of black, white, Asian demographics for the area. LOL, my wife being the 1% Asian rep. :)

        No Hispanic folk, but they were really rare before 2004. No joke, there were hardly any Mexican restaurants before they flooded in to save us from the destruction.

    Might be a German thing, but race and racist don't have the same base for nothing. You don't talk like that here and I've only heard it in the us. Maybe Scots bite their tongue taking to a German about those things.

      Plural of anecdote... Yes I know, forgive me for not documenting all the times I've heard it. Maybe people posture, depending on the surrounding people. Maybe they feel more free to be more honest as tourists. Perhaps both.
