Black people denigrating blacker people, Indians denigrating darker Indians, and so on. Yeah, we’re tribal, evolved that way.
These people all bent over the word “race”. Meh. Give it a rest. The word used to be in common parlance, now I never here it IRL, despite being told us Southerners are the most racist people on Earth.
People use the word “race” in conversation? Hard to get my head around! Not doubting you, but we don’t talk like that. OTOH, we’re seriously race (heh) mixed in NW Florida. My block is a nearly perfect cross-section of black, white, Asian demographics for the area. LOL, my wife being the 1% Asian rep. :)
No Hispanic folk, but they were really rare before 2004. No joke, there were hardly any Mexican restaurants before they flooded in to save us from the destruction.

Of course he was fr*nch

I’ve ever only seen Americans and random racists use the term that way. Most of us agree that we’re one race.
Are you kidding? I’ve heard Scots and English vilely denegrate Welsh, Germans denegrate Saxons, English denigrate black people…on and on and on.

I’m in the deep south and I hear it a lot, from every race.
