race dosent have to do with the color of your skin but what group you fall into. since he was putting you into a group and making fun or insulting you because your in that group. yes it was racist to say that stuff.

I disagree still. Look at definition three. "A division of mankind possesing traits that are transmissible by descent and sufficient to characterize a distinct human type." This is to say that someone is of Asian descent, African-American descent, Caucasian descent, Native American descent, etc. Can someone be of Candian descent? Sure, but how people see you is based off of preliminary descent. If your parents are from Japan, and you are born and raised in Canada, what are you? Candian, right? Well, what do you put down on your college application for race? Asian...There is a difference between nationality and race. Again, a race just isn't a "group" as you say...I see that you play FFXI. Let's say I hate FFXI and everyone that plays it for unjust reasons...Is that racist of me? No, it's just an unjust classification...
