More racism

[diy_fun_uk]

You are possibly hyper sensitive,looking for racism and finding it where it is not intended

I'll stop replying after this one, whatever ...

I'm hazarding a guess (although happy to stand corrected) that most people participating are white.

Should that really be a surprise considering the population of this country is 80% white?

So you quoted a bit of my post without reading the context? Okay then ...

Sorry...read it now...had only read the last sentence before

What does that mean?

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

of course that Pakistanis are not a race.

They are members of the one race; the human race.
There are no other races.
There are nationalities, cultures, ethnicities, religions, etc, but there's only one race.

dad was Indian.

Was your dad racist against Pakistani''s particularly?

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

What does that mean?

I guess it means he doesn't want to get into petty, nit-picking discussions.

You mean debate ..Why use those words petty when I am trying to debate an issue with him.

Could the woman in the shop have thought muslims don't like being called "luv" by a woman?

Go away.

Did your mum ever encounter "It's those bloody Scots again" or heaven forbid "It's those bloody Jocks again"?

That racists used the word "****" (often to Indians) does not alter the fact that it is the name of the country of Pakistan meaning Pakiland like Scotland and therefore cannot be racist in itself - not to mention, of course that Pakistanis are not a race.

I have written all those words in full so it is interesting which is censored by the site while the others are not.

If you want to assert that use of these terms carries equal weight and those to which they're directed should be no more/less offended that's your choice.

Pakiland

There's no such place. It's called Pakistan. Your use of such a made-up name for Pakistan, to any Pakistani, wold be considered highly offensive.

He has already expressed his desire not to continue.

You use race in a purely biological sense...It has a different meaning in a Sociology sense

Go away.

I'm staying right here.
