Lets not get on the Gypsy's backs here lads, before Hash stumbles upon this thread.![]()

Of course the irish are not a race.

You are miving two very different things up. A race can be defined by genetics. I don't know exactly how many races are supposed to exist but you could probably Google it.
Racism can be defined as words, actions or attitudes that are expressly used to insult or intinidate others who do not belong to the same group as you. So calling a Catholic a left-footer, a Protetant a proddydog, a Frenchman a frog or a German a kraut could in terms of this definition be considered as a racial insult. The same must therefore hold true for the Irish.
I think you should stay out of this Dave...before it gets messy. You know what UIR and Traore are like.![]()
Well you touched on it earlier, how do you define race, so the UN and in this country the EHRC include race, colour, descent,national and ethnic origin as reasons which it is illegal (and some would say immoral) to discriminate upon.

I think the word is discrimination.
Racism is a lazy way of covering all bases here. Racism simply refers to race.
But not the spanish or pakistanis according to UIR
Or the irish, or the british, or the french, or the americans or the welsh.....ok maybe the welsh but thats it.
I will say no more on the matter, we have ruined this thread and I blame you.

If Saurez had allegedly called Evra a frog would Evra have been insulted by that derogatory reference to French people and claimed he'd been racially abused?
