Are You With Or Against Bird Hunting?

I am for bird hunting If I am also allowed to do human hunting.

Also bird HUNTING is okay if humans go climb trees and try to catch birds with their ugly ape hands. If that is not the case its not hunting its killing because you cannot HUNT with a gun. Its called hunting but thats nonsense.

Nonsense as much as racism is nonsense because you cannot be racist when all are 1 race. Its being anti semitic or whatever not racist.

'Race' is simply a way of categorizing the unique factors that make a group stand out. The differences between most of the 'races' amoung humans might be entirely superficial or social, but those variations do exists, thus races do (and in turn racism). A hawk and a robin both being birds doesn't mean we don't often refer to them as separate things. The differences between humans may be substantially less significant, but that doesn't make them non-existent.

I'd agree with anyone that said our categorizing of people into races encourages targeted social hate, but the simple act of categorizing isn't something most people can help. It's the foundation of our social structure (and has been since before we were even homo sapiens). What we can do is encourage the mentality that those differences are irrelevant to us as people, even if they're still there. Changing what we call it won't accomplish that.

On a side note, doesn't antisemitism usually refer to just Jews? :p It's also widely considered to be a form of racism (rather than something separate). 'Race' is a very broad term.

OT: Depends on the context. If it's not an endangered species and the end goal is to eat the bird, then while it's not something i'd personally partake in, i don't see any real issue with it (even as a sport). As a meat eater, i don't think i'm really in a position to say others. However, killing for the sake of killing is not something i can agree with. It's a waist of life.
