Given the arbitrary nature of "race", this strikes me as splitting hairs. We group so many races under the umbrella of "white" that I think it's fairly safe to include discrimination against "the other" as racism, but that just shows the arbitrariness of race as a classification.



Well, if the other's country has bombed yours, when you've done nothing to them, and you were 10,000 miles away from their borders, then it's quite safe to assume non race-based motivations for hating them too...
