I get called 'racist' amongst other insults all the time.
Can anyone on the forum imagine why?!
I doubt it.
Now answer me this question:
Assume I am Polish. I have the right to enter Britain due to the politics of Europe that allow freedom of movement.
Now assume I am Ethiopian. I have no right to enter Britain due to my status of being the 'wrong' race.
As an Ethiopian I am discriminated against due to my race.
Is that racism? You tell me.
joe

poles only good for one thing stealing our jobs
Jeez Joe don't you ever try a different approach?
I would say no it isn't racist to deny the (imaginary) Ethiopian access to the UK, under the circumstances you describe.
The freedom of movement you mention within the EU is only for the citizens of the EU memberstates.
An Ethiopian is no more entitled to this benefit than an American or why is, it is nothing whatsoever to do with his colour or race though. It is because he isn't an EU citizen
and very lucky he is too.
