Nope, infact to suggest a person is a certain religion because of their skin colour is infact racist in itself.

Ah well Hitler certainly wasn't chagning things to suit his ends at all...

German race.

It is racism as it refers to a race, the point remains that 'race' is just as much religion as it is physical difference.

That has nothing to do with it. You may not be able to instantly tell someone's religion, but that isn't an argument countering the simple fact that someone's race is also their religion. Once you have learned someone's religion it would be faily easy to be prejudiced, so it isn't an argument countering what I said.

I'm sorry what religion is that exactly?

By geography? But it isn't definitive and you can't cite it as racism.

Nope. you can't tell a person's religion just by looking at them, you can only make an educated guess. A person's skin colour is pretty easy to get right.

I wasn't 'XD' as you point was just a poor joke, completely off-topic and not really proving anything.

......Don't know which side to take......

If you link the religion with the race (topography - where it is loacted and so the areas where that religion is predominant) then the thing is still racism.

Jews living in Germany at the time of Hitler didn't have a different skin colour, but their religious race had different ideas to him and they were discriminated against as a race.

The point with Hitler also fits in with "that a particular race is superior to others".

Hmmmmm.Chang my mind.

People born in parts of the world where that race is predominant, such as Corkasians born in Europe are far more likely to become a member of that religion. It doesn't mean it can be used as a stereotype or a 'one size fits all' about race, only that it is related.

The attack is racial because it is against them and what they may believe, an attack just as direct as insulting skin colour.
