Everything is racist now. Eating chicken, watching football, smiling, blinking, wearing shoes, using Windows Vista, driving a Fiat...all racist. They'll need a new word soon for people that are actually prejudiced against people of a different ethnicity. Perhaps Super-Racist or Racist Level II. Edited by Part Time James (05 Oct 2016 11.58am)

Talking about immigration is always difficult, it often leads to people being accused of being racist. The problem with this specific policy is that I see racists being able to use it to target firms that do in their opinion employ too many foreign workers. The devil as always, will be in the detail.

Edited by Part Time James (05 Oct 2016 11.58am) Super-Racist? I bet that is a common term in the USA. My Dad used to say, "i dont care what colour, creed or amount of money they have, if they dont like what i say or do, they can Feck right off".

I do find myself every few months having to explain to the eldest aged 12 what proper racism actually is as there is no doubt via his friends and/or school he is being exposed to confusing and diluted versions of what they perceive to be racist when it is actually not. "Excluding people and/or haranguing them or physically attacking them because of their skin colour is racism" if it's religious hate then it's bigotry. It's that bleedin' simple. The rest of it, the 'grey area' - the vast majority - is racialist not racist and more often than not nothing to do with hatred. Paul Gascoigne's bit of trouble recently being a case in point.

Let me clear this up for you all. There is no "race" so there can be no racism. There is only racism in law which is designed to protect minorities and avoid conflict, but it has no scientific basis whatsoever. Thanks. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (05 Oct 2016 1.17pm)

I also think there is some confusion with racial stereotyping too. I think because people perceive both to be bad, they don't really care about the semantics but actually it really does have a bearing in a world where a "hate crime" is worse than an identical crime against somebody not considered to be in a conflicting "group". "White men can't jump" (for want of an example that won't offend too many people on this forum) is a generalisation, an application of a stereotype that has little foundation in fact, but is not racism. Keep lumping the two very disparate things together and you repress freedom of speech and in doing so engender hatred and issues of resentment.
