Typically western Europe.
So a white Muslim is Muslim and white but a brown Muslim is just Muslim? #
I know what the Christians are and that the faith is called Christianity. I was brought up as one until I was 13. So if Christians are a race and I was brought up (Seventh Day Adventists if you want the particular Christian flavour) following Christ, that would make me part of the Christian Race? But now I am Agnostic, what does that make me? Am I now part of the agnostic race? Expanding on that, Christianity has reached all around the world. You have followers on pretty much every continent. Are they all now the same race despite being from different ethnic backgrounds?
Here's a bunch of people. You know nothing about them and without speaking to them, you never will. Can you point out who are the Muslim members and the Christian members? Whilst you're at it I'd also like to know which ones are part of Judaism (though it's a bit trickier with Jews as there are also ethnic Jews), Buddhism or Scientology?
Religion is a choice. I could've been Christian yesterday, choose to practice Islam today but next week I could decide that maybe I wish to become Sikh. That wouldn't change my race.
So no, my third sentence isn't ironic. How could I be racist to the 'Muslim' race? How would I word my racist attack on the two bellow? Afterall, they are both Muslims. Maybe I go after Dave's skin Muslim skin colour, but then that means I don't get Khabib either. But they're the same race so why are they not sharing that characteristic?
My last course of action would be to attack their only shared characteristic which at that point would be their religion but in doing that I'm discriminating on religion and not what racists usually do - skin colour/appearence.
It's a cultural slur surely?
Caporegime
No, because it's based on someone's skin colour, not a cultural adherence.
That's discriminatory to black and asian gammons
Right. And skin colour is one of those things that form part of the human construct known as race.
So you're saying gammon is a race then? By note of a shared skin colour?
Caporegime
Surely one isn't naturally gammon colour?
You become gammon colour when you start complaining about 'them lot coming over trying to appropriate our walls' etc.

I like that you're doubling down when I've posted the definition. It's not my fault that you're ignorant of it. I didn't make it up. I'm just highlighting it to you.
You seem, for some reason, to be conflating race with skin colour alone. That's stupid and wrong. As I've pointed out, one person can be a member of multiple races (our white Muslim example). You can be black, European and a Muslim. Three races in one! Heck, you could also have some Caucasian in there too to hit up 4 at once. You might even be ethnically Jewish but follow a different religion!
Infact, that last one is another great example. Jews come from all over the world. There are black Jews, brown Jews white Jews and every mix. Antisemitism, the act discrimination against Jews is specifically called out as racism by the UN

I'm pretty sure some people are naturally preposessing of a ruddy, flushed skin tone.

I think you need to study some venn diagrams. It's possible for antisemitism to be racial. It can also be ethno and cultural. It can be any combination. That's because Judaic culture, ethnicity and race are all separate phenomena to which it's possible for discrimination to exist against separately and/or together.
Caporegime
I think you need to put your appeal in writing to the UN.
Since when did the UN start defining the English language?
Caporegime
They're not defining the English language. You however are attempting to redefine it to fit your racist opinions.
He made a good point and you made an appeal to authority, a logical fallacy
I'm not, I'm trying to weedle out of you why you think gammon is a racist term, you're the one that keeps using racist terms and getting all angry about it.
