There’s a pretty clear delineation from racism and ethnic prejudice. One is a classification system used to loosely categorize people by general region and skin tone. The other is actually based on ethnic groups, and tends to actually be based on historical context.

Ok but seems like a distinction without a difference. Neither racism, nor ethnic racism, have anything to do with video games.

I mean the distinction is fairly self evident. I as an Asian person cannot hold racial prejudices against other Asians, but can have ethnic prejudices.

Neither racism, nor ethnic racism,

Man, you guys just don't understand that race is not an actual idea people outside the west utilize. Race is exclusively a western concept used to generalize people outside of Europe.

have anything to do with video games

I didn't say they were? I was responding to a claim that someone else made and then deleted.

"you guys" i'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that racists don't actually exist on lemmy. Leftist understand that "race" was a construct used to divide people based on criteria that aren't threatening to the status quo. In the US, race exist to make sure that people don't question the capitalists. In China is exist to make sure people don't question whatever the inherent power structure that existed at the time "ethnic racism" was defined.
The point is it doesn't matter. The purpose of the division was the same and the practical division was equally spurious.

You heard him as an Asian he can't be racist to other Asians... It's hard for our western minds to comprehend. 😆 This fucking guy.

Is it so hard for you to understand that racial science was never established as an inherent truth in most of the world? That it's only the west who utilize the word Asian to describe the majority of the world's population.

Ethnic and religious conflict, and nationalism lead different groups into the same type of ethnic prejudices, but that is inherently different from racism within the study of social sciences.
