Cool votes from me mate!

(1) ignorance is not a racist adjective.

And 2, you can't be racist towards Americans because it's a nationality (and a multiethnic one) not a race.

There's no such thing as a 'racist adjective'. Slandering a group of people based on where they're from ie: "americans are ____" or "iranians are ____" is what is racist.

Racism regards nationalities. We all are the human 'race', if you're trying to break it down that thoroughly; but notate for me something racist in the past that was against something other than a person's origin? You don't have to be from country A insulting country be to be a racist, nor is it limited to nationalities. Two Americans can be racist toward one another, simply because it's not about where you're from or what adjective you use.

The basis of racism forms from a mentality of someone being inferior based on reasons that have nothing to do with actual logic or reason. If I see you have two broken ankles, I can call you an inferior footballer for obvious reasons, you can't run, etc. But if I say you're an inferior footballer because you're from ____ or because your skin is blue and your eyes are purple, that's racist regardless of where I'm from or what words I use to describe whatever rage being thrown your way.


You're from Iran. If I say anything negative to you on the basis that you're Iranian, that's racist. I could be your next door neighbor. If you skin color is. 001 shades lighter or darker, and I use that to fuel my argument, it's racism.

In this case, the fella saying that Americans are ignorant because of the word they use is being racist simply because he's pointing a finger at a nation of people, most of which call a sport one thing. The point is, as soon as you say "Americans" instead of just "people", you cease to generalize what is a very general point to begin with. It's only especially stupid in this case because it's not limited to Americans (whom opt to call the sport whatever) nor did it even originate there. If Americans started calling this sport throwball, like nobody else does, and insists upon the world that that IS the actual name or blah blah blah whatever argument, that's Americans (specifically, as they uniquely demonstrate in this case) being ignorant; ignorant of what is clearly not the case.

And just for the sake of adding another example in, if as many Iranians called the sport soccer as Americans do, but you and every friend you have call it football.... And then I go and tell you that Iranians are ignorant; am I not racist? Why should I generalize my argument with you when you clearly don't fit the mold of what I'm accusing you of? Why should you be left to be considered ignorant based on what your fellow countrymen freely choose to do? It's stupid, unnecessary and a terrible argument. The sheer fact that this person wants to debate, let alone insult/accuse one specific nation, what something should be called, is stupid.

2 cool votes for you! Cya around
