Especially when it comes to the so called white race. To define white is nearly impossible. I even heard one guy say white anglo protestant. Does this mean that there are some anglosaxons who are not white? Or that somehow your religion makes you white? If you look at the white race especially you will see so many different shades of skin color, eye color, facial features, heights, muscular structures, attitudes, intelligence levels etc..

news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7555589.stmEnglishman wins Irish race case Colleagues said "send the Brit in" if dangerous work arose, he complained An English pipe fitter has been awarded 20,000 euro (£15,630) in compensation after being racially abused in his Irish workplace. The man, who was based in Dublin, complained that colleagues had taunted him because of where he came from. They would say "send the Brit in" to clear the way if they had to enter potentially dangerous spaces at work. Negative reports about England's performance in the 2006 World Cup were also read aloud in his presence. He said some colleagues never spoke to him and others deliberately sang Irish songs of a political nature in his presence. The man, who asked to remain anonymous, told an equality tribunal that shortly after joining the firm in April 2006 the abuse reached a point where he ate lunch in his car instead of the canteen. Redundancy He claimed that two months after starting work he was made redundant instead of a less experienced Irish worker because he was British. The tribunal was told another worker said "the Brit should be sacked and an Irishman should not be let go" when the issue arose. He said his supervisor was intimidating and had joined in with the abuse. The company denied allegations of harassment and said the man had never complained to his site manager about abuse. It also said the man was laid off because he had less service than other workers on the site. The equality tribunal found the man was racially harassed and said some of the acts complained about were of a blatant and intimidatory nature. But it ruled the man was not chosen for redundancy because of his nationality.

panagiotopolos,the Jews and Spaniards never robbed my people
Yes,I do know about the Arab slave trade which started before and survived long after the Europeans stopped it.
As well the CHinese supplying stuff to the Sudanese self-hating Blacks.Can u believe the nerve of them? Calling themselves Arabs!!! Just have to LOOK at them and you'll laugh.
Blacks have always been a target of racism by everyone.Even in my country,African students have also reported about being treated differently and even not very nice by locals.
I said before,there is such thing as coloured against coloured racism but never coloured against white racism.
pana,you dont know what your talking about.
YOU dont have a coloured persons perspective as I do,also,I live in Malaysia,a non-white country.
This world is ruled by Europeans(white ppl),and the norms,the standards are from them,and given that nearly all countries' borders was determined by Europeans,thats why coloured ppl have the right to talk trash about Europeans because they are evil but Europeans towards coloureds because of pas and even present crime towards them.
As for race,that is a social constuct,but as to how ppl understand it goes as a group of ppl having similar facial features,hair textures,colouring etc.Of course there is variety,but you can tell someone is European by just looking at them,although for some cases they might be an Arab,North African or Iranian instead
