Does the term "racism" apply if people of color don't want another person of color in their country?

Take for example Venezuela and It's neighbors. The terrible economic situation in this resource rich nation has led to millions of Venezuelans (multitude of races and complexions) going into neighboring Brazil and Colombia (also multitude of races and complexions), with some natives in those countries upset and wanting these fleeing Venezuelans to go back home.

We can go to South Africa, and some natives not wanting undocumented immigrants from other African countries taking their jobs.

We can go to Hispaniola and some Dominicans wanting Haitians that have been there for decades or generation's to go back over the mountains to Haiti?

We can go to Tibet and some native Tibetans not wanting Han Chinese taking over their lands?

Etc Etc Etc

Everything I've written are factual situations. Look it up unless you need me to post the articles.

Is that racism?
Is that nationalism?
Is that ethnocentrism?

Does the term "racism" apply with immigration, when both sides are people of color?

the idea of "people of color" isnt the same in countries where those people are the dominant social group. i think in the US that term and predominantly white societies it means a very specific thing that doesnt perfectly carry over to other countries.
tibet is extremely different from those other examples because its being occupied by a foreign country that is mainly han chinese.

But the sentiment of not wanting someone in your country, what do you call that term??

nativism or more generally xenophobia

 

[Matt504]

the answer is no.

racism === white supremacy anything similar but short of that is bigotry, prejudice or could be xenophobia, however in the case of Venezuela there's a more nuanced conversation to be had.

Yes.

Xenophobia is what you are talking about OP

 

[wtfyomom]

yes its still racist or prejudice or bigoted or whatever word you want to call it imo

It sounds like most of the time wha you are talking about should be called xenophobia.

But in some cases, like with some Chinese Singaporeans looking down on South Asian Singaporeans or some Indians being prejudiced against Africans in their country, I don't see why you can't call it racism.
