Re: Is this a racist remark.
An English person was told by an American in quite an abusive way to "Go back where you come from". This was after they had made other abusive remarks to the person. They were told racist remarks would not be tolerated and to apologize or leave. This was at a community information booth, they then made abusive remarks to an American at the booth, and left. Now it seems very few Americans I have spoken to think that remark is racist. I cannot find a legal definition in the US of what is a racist remark. In England it is any remark which the subject of the remark or any person hearing it believes to be racist.
So opinions please.

Actually, a fortnight ago I was returning thru passport control at JFK after a quick trip back home; the customs officer behind the desk asked me what I liked about the US.
"The gas is cheap" I honestly remarked.
