Nah, the textbook definition of racism includes hate.

What do you mean by textbook definition?

And hate means to regard someone or something so negatively, that you see killing it as a positive.

First of all, an irrelevant point, so nice gish gallop. Second of all no, that's not what hate means.

Next: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiziganism

The term Antigypsyism is recognized by the European Parliament and the European Commission as well as by a wide cross-section of civil society.

It's got its own word for it. Why on earth do you think it's got its own word if it's not a thing like you're saying?

It's very real and it's a prejudice. If you're just trying to be obtuse and play semantics games ("gypsies isn't a race") then please tell me so I can stop responding.

There are Caucasian gypsies, Latino ones, Oriental ones etc.

LOL is all I can say here. I mean.. sure, if you just throw all the nomadic people from that area and of no particular race into that group, then that's not racism or discrimination. But it's simply dumb to assume most (any?) people view it that way.

Don't know mate. I spy with my little eye intellectual dishonesty in your last comment.

but everywhere else it just means nomadic

Evidence on "everywhere else"? Will need some evidence.
