If someone(repeatedly) verbally abuses me using the area from which I come
from as their premise does this constitute racism??

i.e.-"you Texan c**t"

If you are both American, I doubt it.

Definition of Racism
1.. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or
ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
2.. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.
Now calling you a fat yank c*nt could be classed as racism, as the Yanks are
a race, even if they think they _are_ the world, they are only a race.

That statement doesn't refer to your race.

Sorry, but this makes me laugh even though it's probably a serious question.
You are not concerned that he/she thinks you're a c*nt, but mention you're
from Texas(for example) and you take offence? I think perhaps the Texan
comment is more for emphasis. You're not just a c*nt, you're a Texan c*nt.
Alternatively it might just be to make sure you know it's you they're
talking about, as opposed to the black/Irish/fat/old c*nt standing nearby. I
have an ongoing problem with a guy at work who has accused me of being
racist(he's black, I'm white). I called him a lazy c*nt, no mention of his
colour or country of origin, purely that I thought he was lazy, so he
complains that I'm racist??? I'm wondering if him using racism as a reason
in this case is him being racist towards me possibly? Whatever, he's still a
c*nt. HTH.

It may well, Texan's think overly too much of themselves. Besides there
are at leat 2 distinct sub groups the non-city and the city types.

No, bigot would be more appropriate. "One who is strongly partial to
one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those
who differ."
