Here, we speak American (/s).

The earlier examples of using "racist" along these lines was long before 2010.

> 2. A group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution

"Common history" is very broad. Do "proper cunts" share a common history? (apparently HN Replies is speedier than one's edits).

Regardless of how broadly "race" is defined by a given law or its use documented in a dictionary, I still think "racist" in reference to a person or act is over-utilized and "bigot" in its various forms not used enough.
