Are racism and hate speech permitted on Similar Worlds?

@DeWayfarer Russians are an east Slavic ethnic group. Smaller ethnic groups, for example Tatars, also live in Russia. Other ethnic groups include Jews, Chechens, Armenians, and Bashkirs. It is possible to be racist toward any ethnic group or race, and it is widely believed now that discrimination based on nationality or national origin can constitute a form of racism. I will presume that the user in question is not east Slavic and belongs to another ethnic group, likely British if she is "from" New Zealand. This only compounds her racism.

You say: "I have no love for China in the Olympics. Yet have no problem with other Asians, like Japan, going!"

Do you support Chinese athletes, who live outside of China, being banned from the Olympics? If not, what made you think your comment was of any relevance or importance?

@DeWayfarer says Hey, at least your Gallic ancestors were eventually conquered and "civilized" by the Roman Imperium. My ancestors, whom the Romans called "Picts" (painted ones) were so barbaric that Rome abandoned all attempts at conquest and built Hadrian's Wall in an effort to contain their barbaric ways!

@ElwoodBlues Roman fell apart though. Thanks to the Catholic Church.

That was my father's side. Mother's side came from around Ukraine. No idea where for certain. Probably around Odessa. They were gypsies.

@DeWayfarer "Racism" is defined as:

@emiliya you can change the definition legally yet still not have the same intent!

By archeology race is not ethnicity!

Don't use the word racism then!

There are two words for a reason!

@emiliya I'm not narcissistic. In fact this site hid your reply because of the language. And didn't notify me!

They are punishing you!


The definition you gave is the legal definition. Which is wishy washy. They joined the two definitions because they refuse to make a distinction.

In no way in archeology is a race a ethnicity!

@DeWayfarer It is a definition that is widely accepted and not limited. Why don't you stop making foolish comments?

Why have you raised the subject of archaeology? Do you think there is a difference between someone from Syria or Lebanon between someone from France or Belgium? We know that ethnic groups exist because of what we see. People have different skin tones, different facial features, different types of hair, and different body types. This can all be tested in their blood and saliva. A skeleton in archaeology reveals nothing compared to what we see and what we can test in a living body. Caucasians are very diverse as they include Middle Easterners and North Africans, but that is not going to be very visible to an archaeologist when they are long dead.

@emiliya I specifically did not say biologically because biology doesn't involve culture at all! Which ethnicity does.

That is the difference between the two! There are many cultures in each race. Race is the bigger group! Hense RACISM!

You are insisting there is no difference by that definition, when there distinctly is a difference. Racism is not ethnicity!

Heck there are many ethnic cultures even each country! You named a few yourself. Where a race crosses many countries, even continents.

ALL OF EUROPE AND BEYOND even into Russia and Ukraine is Caucasian!

I mentioned above that my mother side is likely from Ukraine! That still makes me 100% Caucasian!

That is my race!

To insult my race is to insult all Caucasians! That is racism.

Yet my culture on my mother's side is gypsy! A conglomerate of cultures! There is no such thing as gypsy ethnicity because of the conglomerate of cultures. Yet even my mother was gypsy because she traveled throughout all of Europe!

This is why Hitler never was considered a racist against gypsies! Despite him slaughtering them worse than Jews! Jews were considered better than gypsies by Hitler. Often gypsies were shot on the spot! Not even taken into prison camps!

The only thing worse than a jew by Hitler WAS GYPSIES!

Why do I know this? Because my great grandfather on my father's side was mistaken for a gypsy and shot on the spot by the Germans in Czechoslovakia! He was Czech! My father went to prison camp though. As a political prisoner!

Racism is absolutely not ethnicity! My family's story on both sides is the reason why!

Your racist definition doesn't include Gypsies! They traveled Everywhere, including Russia itself!

My grandmother on my mother's side was born in Ukraine. My mother was born in Romania, my oldest half sister was born there as well. My next oldest half sister was born in Germany, my half brother was born in Czechoslovakia, my two younger half sisters were born and died in Hungary!

All this was during and before WWII! I state this to prove my mother was gypsy.

The whole family traveled EVERYWHERE! Yet the Germans tortured my mother with experimental operations. Because she was Gypsy! She escaped them. Don't ask me how. Definitely not on her own.

Yet she showed me the scar herself, over her left kidney! I wasn't supposed to be born because of that operation. Her kidney was still roving!

Why wasn't this prosecuted after WWII? Because it wasn't considered racism! Genocide of gypsies wasn't RACIST!

Yet genocide of the Jewish people was racist!
