    Every South African I have met and know whether black or white are some of the most kindest and polite people.

    Racists often don't see themselves as racist. They don't like it when other people call them out for being racist.

    If someone ever says "I'm not racist but..." then they probably are.

    Indeed so when are you going to stop being racist?

    racism
    /ˈreɪsɪz(ə)m/
    Learn to pronounce
    noun
    1. prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.
    Well anyone calling someone a Gammon is in my opinion. Or Bounty or coconut.

    Describing someone based on their appearance feels racist.



    Of course if you misunderstand Xenophobia so you throw that out as well then hey that is another point.

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/word...ism-difference
    Xenophobia is the fear and hatred of strangers or foreigners, whereas racism has a broader meaning set including "a belief that racial differences produce the inherent superiority of a particular race." Although they are similar, they are different enough that it is possible for one to be both xenophobic and racist.
    So xenophobia is a mental condition. Nice.



    Add little Englander and its a hat trick!

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Englander

    In its original meaning during the late 18th and 19th centuries, a "Little Englander" was a member of the Liberal Party who was opposed to expansion of the British Empire, as well as certain traditionalist conservatives who wanted England to extend no farther than the borders of the United Kingdom.
    I suppose we should have just kept shooting anyone with a particularly sharp soft fruit?



    Maybe you just don't understand racism?

    I never think to ask people if they're racist, but a huge number of people are. So probably.
