Well, they could . . . or not. It depends on context, intent, injury, etc.

I'll start there - if that helps eliminate confusion, then we can talk about the rest.

This is so clear and concise that nothing else needs to be said.

But I will add that "intent" is not a necessary condition in racism and racial and ethnic discrimination.
