Is attacking/insulting/…. someone based on where they are born racism/discrimination?

I am a republican have a discussion with a liberal friend over politics and I would like to know the general consensus about this issue in the left as I will do with the right, so is Is attacking/insulting/yadayada, someone based on where they are born racism/discrimination? I'm gonna clarify seeing some of these answers, I am white and from the south. It's not about like Mexico vs USA but more like South vs North or East vs West.
