Interesting that you feel that saying that some racial groups are generally richer is morally neutral. I wouldn't really see it like that myself. Sure, there isn't the same outrage connected to attributing certain attributes.....But that's an emotional response and surely that's not the gauge as too the validity of the thought process. A sort of, it's ok if what you say is warm and positive or neutral but somehow it's invalid if people don't like it......I don't think that is intellectually good enough. Generalising about group attributes is just ill advised and if you are going to do it and give it validity......Then the gloves come off for everyone. I disagree. The problem with generalisations/prejudice, as I see it, is that by treating everyone as if the stereotype applies to them, you make mistakes. If you don't give your black mate sun cream because you assume he wouldn't want/need any and he gets skin cancer, the stereotype has created an externality. But if Boots in Croydon lower how much they order every month to prevent a surplus, they're not only not causing any problems (since supply still meets demand) and they're actually saving money. In this case, Ken Livingstone is highlighting the broadly improved position of jews financially, but is that really likely to cause any problems? He's not suggesting they be taxed more or anything, he's just trying to establish that financial status is what has the biggest effect upon voting intention rather than race. If you can explain why this claim might harm jewish people either individually or as a collective, I might be happy to say it's problematic, but i can't see it myself.
I give up Horsey....You can have this one. "Wear them down until they give in" has always been my philosophy.

So unsurprisingly ukip pissed it last night. Well done Farage. Well done the media. Oh it's partly the media's fault is it?.....Most of their coverage was negative...Telling us how to think...Loads of 'Ukip is racist'. Still, you couldn't shut up about them.....You pretty much cemented my vote. Well done Nick. :) So you voted for the regression of maternity rights then. You voted for full scale privatisation of the NHS. :) Na....You know what I voted for.....I was a tiny part of the collective two fingers to the EU federalists. I want an decentralised EU.....For that to happen messages have to be sent. Could i suggest a more federal system of governm.... Oh...

Stereotypes are fascinating...And of course they aren't all the same...Apart of our natural pattern recognition process. Sometimes true, occasionally half true, often wrong.

Surely the left need to be examining why they got tonked? Or is there a very complicated reason this should not be the case, no doubt as a result of my 'ignorance'?

He is generalising about race. Generalising about race = prejudice. I disagree. It's all about intent isn't it? Whether the generalisation is actually an attempt to denigrate or not. If a Boots in Croydon realises it's not selling much sun cream this summer, they can probably conclude that this is because higher black populations in the area are less likely to feel it's necessary. Generalisation about race, sure, but not "prejudice". Quote matt_himself at 26 May 2014 12.02pm
Prejudice is something you and your ilk have accused UKIP of repeatedly and yet it appears that the left are able to do this. However, when you point it out, it appears, from your perspective, that it is an intelligent piece of commentary as opposed to a piece of prejudice against a group of people he has aimed comments at previously. Interesting perspective Horsey. It is an intelligent piece of commentary, more useful than the facile claim that "BME people are far more likely to vote Labour". Some ethnic groups will generally be more likely to vote for Labour but others not, so it's worth looking at how sub-groups of BME voters act differently. If Ken has made insensitive comments about jews before (maybe you could link me to an Andrew Gilligan piece about it) then they may be an ill-judged group to use in such an example, but one of the best ways to find out why a particular ethnic group votes a particular way is to look at examples where this tendency has changed. Chinese people might be an interesting example because in the UK there are a significant number who are probably having more success in education, employment and business than they would have been when immigrants first arrived. But obviously they've come from an area with an, erm, 'strong left-wing tradition'.

You voted for full scale privatisation of the NHS. Must be tough in nickgusset world where 80% of the country just voted for right wing parties. I prefer to think of it as "two thirds of the country voted for pro EU parties", but I guess that wouldn't even placate you!

If we're going to go through this again (as I'm sure we did in 2012) can you either save us time and find the thread in an archive somewhere or provide some actual allegations/links to Gilligan's pieces?

So despite knowing that the ideological standpoint of the party is philosophically to the right, deregulation, privatisation, loss of workers rights etc etc, you voted for them.

You voted for full scale privatisation of the NHS. Please direct me to the part of the UKIP manifesto which expressly states that the NHS will be subject to 'full scale privatisation'. Not one of your shrill blogs written by some hate filled weirdo but an actual UKIP policy document stating this. I cannot locate this anywhere on their materials. I am sure this is due to my 'ignorance'.

They've used the leg-up and are highly unlikely to vote Labour again now living in prosperous areas after succeeding and blending in with English culture and not waiting for the handout/ Labour party dependency? Too f***ing useless to correct any problems himself? The shocking amount of empty housing he had the opportunity to reclaim and do something with. Pure envy?
