Colour I think. Xenophobia is the dislike of other nations

It's a misnomer. It suggests hatred of another race but there is only one race - the human race. Hating someone from your own race is therefore not what is meant by racism. Ethnicism is better. Hating someone from a different ethnic group but the word is clumsy. Hating someone purely because they are different is stupid so stupidity is a much better word. So is the word I tried to type but it would not allow :)

Actually to hate anyone for any reason is stupid. Sometimes it is easy to understand but not if you hate someone you have not met for something they have not chosen. Ethnic group, sexuality, gender... Etc

It’s country I believe not just color

based on ethic prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized

Unfortunately Mikey here in America we are race OBSESSED

To the point that the statement you just made “there is only one race - the human race”

….that’s considered an offensive statement here. Because these people who practice this racial obsession are nuts.

It’s when you don’t like people because they don’t look like you.
