Actually, I don't think it would be. I think it would be nationalist. Or perhaps xenophobic would be the appropriate word.

i disagree, racism doesnt just take into account physical attributes of a person/race. It also targets a persons/race background, culture and ethnicity, ie where they are from.

I do however understand why you'd use the other words stated above.

I do wish that more people knew how to properly apply the word "racism."

Is that targetted at me at the belief that i've used the term wrong or the people saying that i'm being racist ?

People saying that you're being racist. Because you aren't.

Okies .. Cheers !

While an individual's actions in such a case could be racist, it is not necessarily so. I'm white. If I abuse a white person from Ireland based on his nationality, odds are that there's no racism involved. It all depends on the motivating factor behind my intolerance.

Of course, I'm too smart to try and pick a fight with an Irishman. I hate getting beat up.

I hate most of this thread now. Can we let it die?

NO! NO! NO! NO!

What do you mean "More People?"

I was under the impression these things (or at least the dials) were machine assembled, then hand painted...

Also, this thread has made me re-think my personal definition of racism. Thanks guys, I love being confused, so long as it leads to personal growth.

Wait, so you thought the dials were hand painted? Seriously?

Umm... that can't be what you mean, I must be misunderstanding you. The dials are clearly printed. They are stickers, so I'm pretty sure after the printing, they are hand placed. Which is where the problem happens.

@foomonkey... Maybe I was splitting hairs. Stop quibbling, I'm on your side!
lol

I'm actually at a loss. lmao.

for clarification; I was under the impression that the dials were printed and then machine assembled, and that the sculpts were hand assembled/painted.

Ahh, I see now.

Well, proof is in the pudding. If dials were machine placed, there wouldn't be so much inconsitency. They're clearly hand placed.

Constructing tiny toys on a assembly line and asking if someone wants to upsize their big mac combo isnt the same thing.
