Err... what makes a person Jamican or Irish? Apparently you feel it's somthig different than what makes a person Canadian or British because you said:
"Insults to Canadians, Americans, Brits based on NATIONALITY are NATIONALIST, not RACIST."
The difference between race in NA and the rest of the world is that we don't base it off of nationality... we base it off of the way a person looks and the way they talk.
Like I said before:
"Race is an illusion.
It's a tool that people use to classify others and themselves that is 100% subjective. There is no way to define a "black" person or a "white" person, because no matter how you do it you will always find someone who fits the bill 100% and who woudn't call themselves what you label them as. (unless you include nationality in your definition of what makes them black or white, and the nationality would be Ameri... err, from US)"
Because I'm raised in US I'm black, if I was raised in Jamaca I'd be Jamacain, if I was raised in Africa I'd be African.
