British have had enough

[IWalkLikeHimaMartian]

Elfi has consistently claimed that racism cannot possibly occur because we are all the same race.

No.
What I probably said was something like in general Jews are the same race as Palestinianls so they cannot be racist to each other.

Bland denial of your previous comments does not work, is immature, self-pitying and deceitful when your comments are in print:

They are both the same race and the Polish person was not attacked because he is white.

Greeks are the same race and Jewish is a religion.

Actually a Muslim is one who follows the Islamic Religion.

So, not a race, then.

You've got to stop being pedantic EFL, Race is defined by nationalities, not colour. The Turks and Greeks on Cyprus are all the same colour,

It's not racist, though, is it?
It is as simple as one race against another.
The clue is in the name - RACISM.
There is a lot of racism in the US.
They could all be the same nationality, religion, whatever, but it's between different races.

And there are many, many more. But I suspect that will suffice to prove my point, for now.
A point that I have previously proven, which is why you refused to engage in discussion with me.

Edit, this has always been your denial that racism can and does exist:

Again, I could go on with a lot more proof of your denial that racism can and does exist.

Do you keep all these quote and screenshots in a file on your computer or just search them up when you decide to post them?

To do that would need a constantly updated copy of the GD forum, going back to its inception, and I do not have such access, and if I did, I would not have sufficient storage capacity, bandwidth, or motivation. How would I know what I am going to need?
Sorry, Ian but it is a bit of a daft question.
It is kind of like asking you, when you turn up for a job and can guess where the pipes run, if you have a copy of the all of the plans for water and sewerage pipes.

Is Wannabe talking rubbish again ?

Its simple racism = applies to a different race (the clue is in the word).

white race v white race = ethnic discrimination.

It seems you are trying to imply just because the word racism doesnt apply to discrimination against another race of the same colour that those who understand the correct use of the terminology are denying there is any discrimination. That is not the case, discrimination exists but it is wrongly described by the media, and you, as racism. Which it is not.

That is not the case, discrimination exists but it is wrongly described by the media, and you, as racism. Which it is not.

The use of the term racism, and the context of its use, is widely accepted by multi-national organisations, such as the UN, national and international organisations, the media, widely respected bodies such as universities, etc, and the wider society.
You cannot deny it exists, or argue that specific incidences are not racist, simply because it does not fit your pedantic narrow criteria.
That is the argument persistently used by Elfi, and now by you.
If your pedantic narrow definition differs from the wider society, I suspect that your definition is incorrect, not theirs.

I say again, the real and actual difference between the perpetrator and the victim of racism, or any bigotry, is irrelevant. It is the perceived difference that causes the bigotry.

Has he not got it yet?

That's why I ignore him. It was driving me mad trying to explain it to him.
That was ages ago.

Pretending you are not reading my comments still leaves you being deceitful about what you claim you said.

You cannot justify your pedantic narrow minded definition against the wider society's accepted use of the word.

 

[IWalkLikeHimaMartian]

I am no fooking racist ... it makes me so fooking angry that entire communities have now got more than 1/3rd of residents of foreign origin!

In your opinion you are not a racist but your comments display your true feelings.

I think we've got too much immigration.

 

[george75]

Immigration is more of an issue now with Brexit

What's your view on levels of immigration?

 

[Notch7]

So what you are saying is that racism is defined by race, IE the correct meaning of the word but those that wish to hear the phrase correctly are according to you pedants.

Wheras you want to use the word incorrectly, and are happy with slovenly use of vocabulary

For some twisted logic wish to criticise those that are technically correct.


Explaining it in simple steps helps understand your deeply flawed logic.

It's life n death to some of this lot....being "right on the interweb". They have their own servers, clouds and stuff probably.

 

[Notch7]

ay I ask your true feelings about immigration then please?

He cant, he expends all his energy taking the moral high ground

To be fair, immigration has been used as a scapegoat foroor immigration policies, government economic policies like austerity etc.

Migration of workers across Europe unfortunately makes the rich much richer, but doesnt help the average person much.....try not to blame the people, they are like you and me, trying to get the best out life, argue against the system that has caused it.

Raising concerns about immigration in these divisive times will get you labelled a racist by certain people, who would rather crticise than discuss. Certainly true on this site
