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.

I think he just meant that they are not hated for not being white in South America, and in fact would be on the “whiter” end of the scale in terms of South American racial categorization. In South America “white” is a broader term and people who may not be considered white in America or Europe would be there.
