First of all, TH is Irish not British.

Quibbling about Spaniards as a race is the height of European racism.

The fuck you talking about bro? Don't transpose your State-side racism against Latinos to Europe. Spain is a first world, high income, highly educated country with a great quality of life, where many many Europeans would love to move to live (and many actually have, especially British and German). Most Europeans love Spain and everything to do with Spain and Spanish people have a general reputation of being the most friendly in Europe. Stop talking nonsense...

Um no Northern Europe is discriminatory towards Southern Europe, including Spain. Also smh at implying people are racist towards other countries just because they're third world. That idea kind of leads to the disturbing conclusion that people can just work themselves out of being discriminated by getting rich and being nice.

The height of "discrimination" of North against the South in Europe is that maybe some Northern Europeans are a little snooty and think they're better than everyone else (because they're richer I guess). I haven't heard of anyone actually disliking and discriminating against Southern Europeans in any serious way, and I especially can't imagine this being applied to Spain. Unless you have a different experience, in which case I'd be curious to know how this discrimination is exhibited.

On the other hand there are far more examples of Northern Europeans liking and enjoying the South (check out all the chartered flights to Spain and Italy).

Also, I do believe a lot of discrimination and prejudice stems from the wealth disparity. In the States, people are prejudiced against poor latinos, not so much for their skin colour but the fact that they're poor and trying to take their jobs. Same in Europe, discrimination of the West against the East isn't about skin colour, it's about rich vs. poor.

Urm, among people of the same race and similar culture (say, white Europeans, which is what we're talking about here), I think that's entirely possible?

But I have limited experience with Nothern Europe, maybe there are deep prejudices against Southern Europeans I'm not aware of. Again, not sure how this would be exhibited.
