Spin? Why would I want to spin it? It's based on my understanding.

Idi Amin was the other side of Hitler, minus the gas chambers. Their agenda was driven mostly by racism.

As was pointed out above, white British citizens are often xenophobic towards the Poles and Romanians.
So, idea behind this is that once you admit that racism is same as xenophobia/bigotry/misogyny/whateva, then I basically feel better. 7-D chess.

It's quite easy to refute Floyd's statement if any black person has ever been convicted of crimen injuria or similar for making racist utterances.

If no black person has ever been convicted for racist actions in South Africa, well then that's quite Kafkaesque.

The SAHRC and their racist Buang Jones aren't going pursue any black racists.

You just wanted to post a meme. He looks bad-ass, doesn't he? Racism and xenophobia are different evils. Idi Amin was racist. Paul decrying (for no valid reasons whatsoever) Pawel's presence in the UK is xenophobic.
Dude.
Its exactly the same silly/stupid type/kind of hatred.
Catch a wake-up.

The Ugandans expelled the Indians, they were both from outside the country & different 'race'...

When local politicians scream whites must fsckoff back to europe are they being xenophobic or racist?

At the end of the day it's the same thing however you wanna spin it...
Why is there a need to make them out to be the same thing, they are both reprehensible and while there is some overlap they are not entirely the same...

Why is there a need to say they are the same when they are clear distinctions between the two, what are you hoping to gain by making language less nuanced and less precise?

From Merriam Webster....

Definition of racism

1: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

Definition of xenophobia

: fear and hatred of strangers or foreigners or of anything that is strange or foreign

Simply repeating something that you have convinced yourself to be true doesn't make for a compelling argument,

Both are vile but there are clear distinctions between them...

Your post however does make for a compelling argument that common sense is indeed not so common.

this further goes to prove the EFF's complete lack of grasp on reality.
It is terrible that fools who shoot their mouths off with nothing constructive to say are somehow in a position to be political leaders, I used the term leader very loosely here, AND get paid a bloody fortune to seemingly do nothing other than spew BS at any given opportunity.

The description you quoted in my post of what the left vs right is throughout history won't make me popular with the Republic party.

No, I meant to help him build the wall seeing as you like to build walls of text.
