Just anything to be a little bit more racist. Asspulls for days.

By eastern Europeans is he talking about other white people? Polish or something?

Edit - Romanians. Fuckin wild times we live in.

    That's a very 21st Century American way of looking at racism, but yes, all people involved are white.

    Then again a significant number of US Hispanics would be considered primarly white in Europe, so racism is always more complex than skin colour.

    Oh ok. This that old world racism. Aristocrats vs peasants I guess.

    It's not necessarily classicism adjacent.

    The worst openly racist reaction I witnessed personally was against a polish man that had the exact job position and general social standing as the racist asshole.

    An example in the US would be how JFK still faced some anti-Irish racism despite being as close to aristocracy as possible in American society.
