Ignorant types that aren't accepting or even hateful of a whole race/religion/colour/nationality purely because they are different to themselves. People that are unable to break free of stereotyping and and margelising and generally getting too much joy fromhating others for no real particular reason.

So a bit like people who describe anyone who objects to mass immigration on reasonable grounds or religious dogma as 'racists'.

The Klan, I'd definitely have an issue with, they're a terrorist group of religiously inspired extremists - with a disturbing history of violence and links to terrorist groups in the US and beyond.

The BNP, I'd be a bit concerned, mostly for them as I do live in a largely multicultural area, with a very large student population. Still, as long as they're not causing trouble what business of mine is it where they have their office.

Are we stereotyping the KKK and BNP. Surely the vast majority of them are of benefit to society and the NHS would probably collapse without them.

I can't wait for the social media meltdown when he gets knighted.

No,I wouldn't want someone whose views I abhorred as a neighbour,ideally..but that is specific to the individuals and their views rather than sweeping bigotry towards a whole ethnic group regardless of their individual characteristics.They are not one and the same thing.

Accepted, but human prejudice is universal, albeit varying in focus.

I agree with this. But I like to take a stance of 'two wrongs don't make a right' when I make a decision about how I view others. Just because them over there, don't like this lot over here, doesn't mean it's okay for me to dislike them lot over there. We are all part of the thar human race after all.

Yes and we all suffer from the same limitations.

There is a deeply disturbing agenda and among sections of the media and some politicians attempting to discredit almost every Muslim organisation and individual who puts their head above the parapet

Study shows 'demonisation' of Muslims

A "torrent" of negative stories has been revealed by a study of the portrayal of Muslims and Islam in the media, according to a report published yesterday.

Research into one week's news coverage showed that 91% of articles in national newspapers about Muslims were negative. The London mayor, Ken Livingstone, who commissioned the study, said the findings were a "damning indictment" of the media and urged editors and programme makers to review the way they portray Muslims.

"The overall picture presented by the media is that Islam is profoundly different from and a threat to the west," he said. "There is a scale of imbalance which no fair-minded person would think is right." Only 4% of the 352 articles studied were positive, he said. an older piece that shows the media havent really changed [Link]

He's a bit one dimensional. HOLradio isn't about politics, it's about Palace.

Isn't this a thread about Farage being a Palace supporter though? I'd like to hear his views on Selhurst renovations & whether he reckons Sakho will join us in the Summer......

No we don't. As a white male I'm under no illusions that the power is tipped in my favour. I'm at a huge advantage due to where I was born and the colour of my skin. Because I recognise this, I do my best to treat everyone as fairly and evenly as I can. And I most certainly do not discriminate against a whole people because they are different. I discriminate against ignorant racist bigots and try and throw the same shade back on them that they throw on minoroties for no good reason. If that makes me a loony leftie then that is me and I'm proud of it. I call it being a decent person.

Baroness Warsi not a reputable source for a quote about how muslims are treated?

Try this: [Link] report about hate crimes against Muslims, based on empirical data.

Nothing wrong with that sentiment in general but as a white person I don't feel guilty for my whiteness or feel responsible for the misdemeanors of anyone else past or present. I also don't take my so called 'power' for granted or believe that it will always exist in the future.
Do you think that non whites would care as much about you if the boot was on the other foot?

I don't.

People are generally more complex and to use a reductionist scale is not helpful.
Phrases like far Left and Right are useful terms so we all have a common reference.
Using that common reference, I'd say that I was center right on some things a bit left on others and occasionally further right but that does not begin to explain how I think.
