Does that include Legaleagle continually implying and using various weasel word and phrases to indicate that people whose views he disagrees with are racists, without actually directly calling them that?

Is that thought policing Kermy?.....'an illness of the mind'.

A dislike of outsiders is in fact a very natural human reaction.

I think people can get a little carried away with the 'phobia' in the word xenophobia......Again, it's seeing reality as extremes rather than sliding scales.

Not liking outsiders is hardly a 'phobia' for the vast majority of people.

Like racism the word xenophobic gets easily attributed to people who's ideas aren't shared in that area by their opponents......like the racism slur it's designed to close down debate.....Just a general point, I'm not accusing you of that Kermy

It's like people calling Farage xenophobic when he has a German wife.

If opponents of a certain view actually put thought into why others held different views maybe there would be less mud slinging going around and the debate would be elevated.

That's a truism for both sides of most arguments.

Many thanks for yet another inaccurate personal slag of another poster.You don't help your own cause IMHO.

Out of interest,what do you think racism is?

Also,out of interest,would it be unreasonable to suggest that a person who would differentiate in the desirability of a person being their neighbour purely on the grounds of their race held racist views?If it would be,why?

Does that involve rubber truncheons, re-eduction camps and communal singing of "I'd like to buy the world a coke"?

You haven't actually answered either question.

Do you want to try again?

What,to you,is racism?

Also,out of interest,would it be unreasonable to suggest that a person who would differentiate in the desirability of a person being their neighbour purely on the grounds of their race held racist views?If it would be,why?

I won't push the point if you don't want to actually answer.But,given how often you post about your concerns about the iniquities of people being called racists who aren't,its of some interest to work out what you actually consider would be racism.

Presumably,if something was racism,a person couldn't complain at being called a racist? Indeed you'd think they might say "its racist,but what's wrong with that? Such views are perfectly reasonable".
