If you are shocked and made feel uncomfortable by a common albeit a little immodest margarine advert you better stay home and let the people there have fun without anyone ruining it.
What do you mean?
No. Actually that is not the definition of "racism". Racism is hating another person simply because you define that other person as belonging to another race.
By your definition any American who celebrates Independence Day, or any Brit who celebrates a royal wedding, or any Irish American who wears green on St. Patrick's Day would be being a "racist" because the said people are celebrating being part of a nationality/ethnicity.

Hey Captain Sweden, they were just making a festival about their culture and peacefully sharing it with other people. Stop throwing grave accusations at innocent people without a reason, this is a very serious matter and if you keep on you should be punished.

Oh my my, you got mad because I called you Sweden. Have you ever talked with your psychologist about why national adjectives trigger such a angry and verbally violent response in you? I strongly advice it.
There is really no doubt about the fact that you are behaving like a SJW, everyone can see it except you, you think that what you say is all legit and normal in your distorted view but you are wrong.
Weren't you? Let me see:
I'd say you definitely were.

Just going to throw this out there:
racism
noun
-a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others.
-a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
-hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.
That is what racism means.

Dang!
For a moment there it looked to me like we all had reached an accord (and the original poster was happy with the response to her question, and left). And that we were all about to close up shop on this thread on a high note!
But suddenly Peacesells, and Seabreeze are breaking chairs over each other's heads in a personal slugfest!
Name calling. The whole nine yards. Might be time to.... lock this thread.
Oh well.
So first they are racist, then you didn't say that they are racist, now they are racist but... It's not a bad thing??? Are you trying to troll? Please try to make some sense otherwise you're wasting my time. You definitely got mad over me referring to you by using your nation, which is hilarious lol. You are definitely acting like a SJK and if you have the money and time you should really see a psychologist about this, it's not healty to find racist a simple Ethnic festival. If you think that what you say is not legit and normal don't say it, it just makes you look bad.
I am not saying these things to please my ego, I just don't like people who accuse innocents of very bad things. Such behaviour is spreading around the world like a disease and I feel that I have to do my part to fight it.
