You know as well as I do that Rafiq will be exonerated and Yorkshire persecuted no matter what actually happened.

That is the climate we now live in.

Taking things to this level makes a mockery of those who have suffered genuine racism in the past and helps to undo all the tolerance and progress with racist antagonisms that has been made over the last 50 years.

This is yet another own goal for racial harmony.

What a shame that such 'tolerance and progress' is now being undone :P.

Yeah, read the post !

Your head is stuck in the 60's, so that's positively futuristic for you.

Plus this behaviour still happens today. That's kind of the point.

I would agree that taking things to this level don't help matters; i've said as much. Let's not pretend you're interested in racial harmony though, or that you're some kind of authority on what 'genuine racism' is. You have routinely dismissed almost every instance of racism ever stated on here as some kind of nothingness, without any experience of it, or concern for the impact or differing magnitudes of it.

Indeed they can and indeed they have.

The funny thing about people who feel like they 'tell it like it is', is that when you repeat their attitudes back to them suddenly its a 'half truth' of they never said it.

I'll reply to your future racial rants as they happen then, so you'll have a helpful balancing contribution based on your precise statements (which is what you already had anyway) as well as your perpetually negative attitude to non whites and immigrants (and mantra that they should 'ignore' hatred and mistreatment, while you endlessly prattle on about it yourself when you perceive that it affects you).

Hysterical unreality designed to dissuade people from commenting on a borderline troubled racial outlook. I'll continue to comment on occasions where your comments sweepingly designate immigrants or other races as ruinous in some way with zero nuance attached. Your cavalier one tone take doesn't need 'spin' to make it sound bad.

Good for you. Neither do I, old bean.

But as I've said before, your routine of endlessly excusing racism aimed at non whites as nothing, attacking any reaction by them to it, while simultaneously pulling your own daily victim routine is hardly balance, fair or sensible.

A reasonable stance appreciates the dignity of people, their challenges and yet at the same time sees that outcomes such as this where overreaction occurs is just an equally unhealthy lurch in the other direction. Here, an acknowledgement of concerns before they reached this point, may have been better, but as yet we don't have all of the facts to hand. Taking things case by case is a fair approach and any 'woke' off with their heads push is certainly just as boring, ridiculous and counterproductive as those entirely nonplussed by racial abuse of others. Those, like yourself, on the sidelines latching onto 'Immigrants ruin all things' opportunities at every turn, hardly help. You fuel and indeed are part of the problem you observe.
