European here, you’re entirely right. The racism here is heavily engrained in the cultural rivalries, where we’re racist against all the foreign cultures, and there’s just so many of them you can’t reconcile all of them. Italians, slavs (and all the different slavs), Nordics, Spaniards, Dutch, German, French, Russians, etc. And that’s not even scratching religion, color, or other continents.
Lol, get the Irish started on the Travelers, and it’ll come out for them, too. The amount of times I hear “They’re knackers, they’re just scumbags,” or similar when one of them shows up was pretty surprising, initially.
I’ve heard it a few times, from young and old, took me back I must say. A lot of it was when I was making a day trip from Biarritz to Bilbao, by train and bus. Yikes, I thought you guys got along ok! Apparently not.

If you want to hear a bigoted rant, get a French person talking about the Spanish.
Now that’s news, I don’t think I ever heard something bad about the spanish from a fellow french

Maybe when nearing the border it gets shittier
Ask them about the English
No way, lol! I always make it very clear, je viens de nouvelle zelande. And I’m not still upset about that terrorist attack by your spies…
