    Yes, and he's wrong and incorrectly using the term (in its strictest definition).

    Probably colloquially.

    It happened a lot in the early and middle part of the last century whenever particular people would try to "other"-ize a particular group of people.
    That didn't make it right.
    Whether it was the Nazis in Germany with Jews or even the Romani (and sometimes even Polish), or as in this case with Churchill and the Irish, or as was done to the same Irish and Italians when they arrived in America as immigrants.
    Any time "race" was used to refer to them by other white people, that was the intended purpose.

    Did you think that appealing to authority (in this case, Churchill) was going to excuse your misunderstanding of how the English language (and words in it) work?

    The term "race" has a very specific anthropological definition.

    And yes, I also pointed out that you refenced that it's done that way in other languages, (and also why you did so.)

    We're not speaking those other languages now, are we?

    Has it really? And there’s the rest of us stupidly believing it begins with the decline of feudalism in Europe…

    We’ve had it all wrong

    Look, I made a very short post to Steveo.

    So far you have told me that is incorrect, without asking or knowing the languages I was referring to, you seem to have a habit of telling me I'm wrong with certainty and here you know without knowing the languages in question.
    That's an interesting position.

    I've then given you Winston Churchill using the term race with respect to Irish people, whislt speaking English.

    Now i get more drivel from your sorry self

    He wanted a new relationship between Great Britain and Ireland to foster a "federation of English speaking peoples all over the world

    Birds of a feather
    Its only the English language that matters. My anthropological superiority in the sciences.

    https://m.independent.ie/irish-news/german-chancellor-helmut-kohl-made-bid-to-influence-irelands-neutrality/29869826.html

    Irish language services are no longer available in Ireland. English and Ukranian only now.

    The term german race, can only really refer to 2 things.
    1) A race in Germany, like a road race or an arms race
    2) Or the German race/people. Like Helmut Kohl is of German race.

    I mean, we've not gotten to other languages at all, and it seems your reply is that Churhill used it wrong as did others in the recent past, and justme used it wrong just now.

    I never asked, nor cared about the languages you're referring to because we are right now communicating in ENGLISH, which is where your usage of that word and term was wrong as I was referring to.

    I don't know whether your usage in those languages (which I neither know nor care about since we're not communicating in them) is right or wrong, so why would it matter?

    Yes, and I told you that he was wrong when he did that.
    (in the usage of the language that way. Not necessarily the substance which I wasn't addressing)

    Which part of that confused you?

    That famous people can also misuse the language?

    Or that English people can also misuse their language?

    I haven't a clue what in the hell you were even trying to say with all that drivel.
