It works both ways, one rule for all.
Is "American" a race? For example, I don't know anyone who would call "South African" a race. These are nations composed of many different races as far as I know, not races.
But maybe some new definition of race has been concocted that replaces ethnicity with nationality, and they've just neglected to let us all in on the secret.

Some people get so excited by the word "racism" that it often seems to get transposed to other forms of retarded thinking.

What a coincidence. Just last Wednesday after Defense cuts were discussed in the UK, there was a "leaked" letter by the defense secretary warning about the dangers of doing so.
And, lo and behold, just a few days later we have warnings over potential multiple threats of terrorism in Europe.
