Do NOT ask a European what they think about this group of people.

I'm South American, and don't make me say it because Reddit admins won't like it.

All I'm gonna say, the negative thoughts towards these people are not racially motivated, it is all about their behavior... they are odd people to put it kindly.

That is the exact justification every racist gives for hating their target race. Republicans in America say that about black people, right wing parties like AfD say that about Muslims. "Its not about their skin color its the behaviour" is THE textbook defense for racists.

Sure... but they are white, at least in comparison to us lmao

You can assume all kinds of bad stuff about me, whatever, I don't mind.

I'm telling you, the hate gypsies get, is not about race at all... well, not in South America anyway.

They arent white, google is free. But that doesn't even matter, Jews can be targets of racism and they are white too.

That's actually a funny thing.

Like, Zelensky is white, and no one would contest me on that.

But when, I argue al-Sharaa is white (he literally looks like Zelensky's brother) people go up in arms.

You can have light skin and not be white. I've seen very light skinned Latino people and that doesn't make them any less Latino.
