# Well yes but that's not the point
If a country is piling shit on another, surely it's fair enough to allow those people to make a point about it without them being called names.

...aren't necessarily different races and one country can contain many different racial and ethnic groups.

Hatred on the basis of skin colour (for example) would be racism, hatred on basis of nationality would be xenophobia.
