I know, that's why I said it.
The stapple brazilian stereotype for frenchmen is that they're all gay.

Blacks, whites, asians or whatever are also all the same race...
But I think you know what I meant with what I said.
Besides, nationalism is just an excuse to be racist to most people.

I was in the army in the 80s. Never heard the term. Guess it didn't stick around, at least not at the grunt level.A Jerrycan is a specific form of gascan. The German army used easily mounted steel gascans. The British and American armies copied the design. The British called the Germans "Jerry's" as a shortened "Britification" of "German". A Jerrycan is 5 gallons in the US (and used to be in Britain), the German cans were 20Liters I believe.
Hence....."Jerrycan" is a "Jerry style gascan"
more trivial and unimportant information for your day. Wikipedia probably has a hugely in-depth explanation of it

I think we take it further. Americans stereotype Frenchmen as effeminate cowards.
Oh, is this the "race doesn't exist" argument? Because if not, I don't understand.
I do know what you mean. I guess I'm being pedantic, but I try to reserve the word racism for actual racism to maintain its potency. If white dudes saying slightly rude things to other white dudes while they try to kill each other over their leaders' ambitions for world domination falls under the category of racism, then calling it racism when police murder black men on their way home from 7-Eleven because they assume they're all carrying doesn't seem like enough, ya know?

Race does exist. There are plenty of races out there.
We, as humans, belong to the human race.
And it has various ethnicities in it.
Yeah, I know. I'm a white af guy living in the north of Brazil.
Granted, the extension of "racism" I get is being called names.
Nothing on the level of a black guy who showed up to a klan meeting
Racism is everyday stuff in brazil.
Which is kind of ironic, considering brazil has one of the most "mixed" (for lack of a better word) populations in the world.
Is it true that all I need to do to cause a brazilin to pick up the pitch fork and burn the place down, is say the Brazilin soccer team sucks and Argentina's team is better ?

Practically speaking you just need to call Football "Soccer" and it will be enough to trigger most nations on the planet that aren't United Staters. Now if you want the Brazilians to send a hitman after you, then just add the second partIs it true that all I need to do to cause a brazilin to pick up the pitch fork and burn the place down, is say the Brazilin soccer team sucks and Argentina's team is better ?

Species, to put it more accurately, consisting of the main races: caucasoid, mongoloid & negroid.

As a white guy who was in many after school programs with near exclusively black dudes, you can absolutely be racist to white people. We got funny with it though. We were doing a pyramid trust building exercise and I was nominated to be the top because "the white man is always keeping us down". I told him to shut up before I threw him into the pool. That was a decade ago, and that guy is still, to this day, one of my best friends.lmao thought there can't be racism against white people

Imagine walking by a dolphin and he goes like "Yo bro, wassup?"IDK how this can of worms got opened but it's highly entertaining. Lemme pour some fuel on the fire
I'm sorry, Angloids but the sad reality is that Humans are Humans and that is the only sentient race around this planet. The Dolphins are catching up tho so the race thing can be used when they start communicating.

I was gonna reply that the "human race" is just a poetic metaphor for "species", but I've read enough of Lykanz's argumentation style to know he was gonna reply like he did. Thanks for stepping in front of that bullet for me.
Even though I started it, I try to step away from semantics arguments after the first few rounds. Otherwise they take forever and you end up where you started. They always go the same way: Person A says something. Person B says "
Well actually that word means..." (that was me), then everyone goes back and forth arguing whether the word has the original, standard definition or some flexible indefinable colloquial meaning where everyone can string together any combination of words they want and pretend it means absolutely anything.
