I suppose I'm more curious about the 'racist' part of it. 'Xenophobic', perhaps, but 'racism' doesn't really seem to be at the root of their statement.

I also worry that sometimes the 'r' word gets thrown around too much and starts to lose meaning after awhile (and 'racist' starts to become an all-encompassing term that doesn't actually mean anything), which is why I'm asking.

Given that they seem to have a strong dislike towards a particular group based on a post from yesterday that was flagkilled, racism did seem more appropriate. Though in this case it may be about religion, rather than race.

I do not wish to quote that post, but you can find it in their history after enabling the "showdead" option on your profile.
