The Irish are cool most everywhere tho.

Lol, get the Irish started on the Travelers, and it'll come out for them, too. The amount of times I hear "They're knackers, they're just scumbags," or similar when one of them shows up was pretty surprising, initially.

If you want to hear a bigoted rant, get a French person talking about the Spanish.

I've heard it a few times, from young and old, took me back I must say. A lot of it was when I was making a day trip from Biarritz to Bilbao, by train and bus. Yikes, I thought you guys got along ok! Apparently not.

I'm not surprised, they have to live with them!

Although in fairness a lot of it is anti Japanese hate, and that was some heinous shit that went down in the 40s, even by WWII standards.

Some of the most racist people I've met are Asian. My neighbor is a Filipino Trump supporter who was patrolling the property with a concealed gun during the BLM protests

That always blows my mind. They get more hate than the jews even from some of the most tolerant Europeans.

It's true. I would extend this to the world, though. The world is generally fucking racist

Nobody is "weird" about Asians or Jews where I live, that I know of. I'm even half west-Asian myself. Nobody had been weird about it to me, ever. I was always met with positivity regarding my heritage. Surprised to see you say this, to be honest.

Yes they are, and the USA just re-elected someone who tried to institute a Muslim ban.

Tu quoque.

Europe likes to pretend it isn't racist because its cops don't beat up black people (for the most part). US racisim, OTOH, is on full public display. This doesn't make one better than the other.

That might have been true twenty years ago when the racist political parties were fringe groups with a few % of the vote share in most countries. Now that they're frequently getting 20 or 30 something % if not winning elections outright I don't think many people still hold the illusion that there aren't a lot of racists in Europe.

Asians are pretty based ngl. I know plenty of muslims who are cool, but many tend not to be cool when/if they grow in number

Islam is a religion, not a race. It's a set of ideas. I don't think attacking the religion is morally wrong, as long as you don't attack the races that commonly practice it.
