| Defining what "race" is, is actually a complex sociological debate, to which there is no clearly defined answer or definition.
It's generally accepted that combinations of (but not requiring all of) shared physical traits, social traits, cultural practices, perspectives, and genetics make up a race.
Race does not solely mean skin colour, or the country you're born in. Race is not biological (there are many scientific papers on this), it is a socially constructed concept.
You could argue that being a traveler is merely a choice of living style (like I might chose to live in a trendy flat in a city), but I think it's more than that. Being a traveler is more than living in a caravan (many live in houses). It is a cultural identity, with a rich historical lineage. It could be argued that they are a race.

| Racism is pernicious, we have come a long way as a society but still have a long way to go. I'm surprised at some of these posts, especially on an open forum.

Not really - Yankees are New Yorkers. Americans from other states use the term. This may have been OK internationally in earlier decades when we didn't know much about USA. Nowadays it would be like calling all Brits 'Cockneys'.

Do you think objecting to racism on a RL forum is being a "snowflake"?

I was in a meeting with a Deep South conservative recently and he was telling me about a time he was near the US Embassy in London. A large crowd was demonstrating and chanting “Yankees Out”. He said he felt like joining in. Lol.
