Some ants still practice slavery which is absolutely disgusting, we live in a modern society where nobody should be discriminated or worse, mistreated for who they are, they are blatantly going against civil rights law and must be taken to international court for punishment

Yes ants are racist not the sense of humans, they just kill each other when they see each other 1 second contact= death. It’s just that simple the ants from different species just want to get land, food, and water for their colony to get bigger that’s all it is.
My beliefs. Dogs and cats are both equal, racism is bad, and TRR is better than any other region.

Jesus Christ what has Nationstates come to

No, they are an insect that doesn't know the meaning of racism, it literally cannot be racist because it cannot comprehend what racism is. All they know is enemy colonies are enemy colonies , it doesn't matter what colour they are at all.

That's like saying a dog is racist for barking at a person who walks past them.

If you want a serious answer,

It actually largely depends on the type of ants. Many ants do fight those of different species. However some ants, such as many Carebara ants, actually avoid fights with ants of the same species. The descriptor "racist" probably does not apply. Racism is a descriptor of human behaviour regarding race or ethnicity; not species. Although were we to apply the descriptor "racist" to "speciesist" (which is still not particularly accurate, but whatever) some species of ants could probably be described as that given that they largely avoid fighting those in their species.

Of course, the way this question is framed is still nonsensical. Chimpanzees being treated differently to humans by humans is not racist; nor is ants treating themselves (ie members of an entire biological family, Formicidae) differently based on species. The concept of race or ethnicity probably does not exist in ants. Race is widely accepted by scholarship to be a societal construct, rather than something biologically inherent. Eg [1].

Nah, they're just a series of competing civilisations formed by highly aggressive and extremely xenophobic insects who work together in a caste society whose roles are largely pretederminated at birth with the purpose of exploiting the natural resources and the territory.
Unlike the series of competing civilisations formed by highly aggressive and extremely xenophobic primates who work together in a caste society whose roles are largely pretederminated at birth with the purpose of exploiting the natural resources and the territory, though, ants don't try and justify their being jerkasses to other ants with pseudoscience.

Ants are criminals and they know it, some sources say that the Hindenburg disaster was caused by an ant, and to be honest, that wouldn't surprise me, they're malicious by nature and deserve to be caught and put in a trial

Well, they can start working and earning money so to buy some weapons from us, if they really want freedom.

Ants cannot hold any of our weaponry. In fact, all our weaponry will crush ants to death. You are proposing genocide.

As a devout anti-avian ants are not racist because they hate bee's. I think. Who's to say they aren't in a civil war?

We could re-engineer the weapons to be ant-sized - OR we could re-engineer the ants to be weapon-sized.

I think making the weapons smaller is the best bet. Making ants larger is a fantastic way to increase ant racism because bigger ants will feel even more superior than smaller ants that also have a different skin color to them.
