"Parts of it are, whilst society as a whole has become far more tolerant and accepting of different races, you still don't have to look far to find those with ugly views. My personal stance is that as long as someone isn't an arsehole then I'll get on fine with them regardless of what colour they are, their place of origin or their religion." Tolerant of different races is a very loaded statement. | |||

"Britain is rife with racism. But not in the KKK sense or a rise number of neo nazis. It’s because a large number of people seem to find racism in anything. If a minority isn’t nominated in an award category it’s racism. There was an advert (dove I think) where a black woman took her jumper off and became a white woman, complaints were made about racism.

"I work with very elderly people and most live with dementia and I am constantly surprised that they are ‘accepting’ of different races coming into the home, most of my residents live in the 50’s and to have a different race even talking to them was unheard of, yet here they are chatting away. Geeky x" Victors write very twisted and limited histories. It has been 60 years since the 50's. Your oldies will have grown in their thinking over those 60 years. Im often saddened at the labelling of and the assumptions made about older people. The present generation haven't experienced ANYTHING that the older generation haven't. Other than technology. Oldies had sex, had affairs, were swingers, murderers, thieves , wrote poetry , stories, films.......... the they've loved, laughed , hated , cried the lot...... just not on Tinder or Facebook. | |||

"Good question on "the big question" this morning, interested to hear views?" I think a better, more "equal" question would be : Are all countries racist against each other? (why single out only Britain) Or Are different races racist against each other? The answer to both of those is undeniably YES. It will also never be eliminated. From a neurobiological point of view people recognise everything into groups and binaries. Known or unknown. Friend or foe. Us and them. Familiar or unfamiliar. Like us or Not like us. This is human nature that is deep rooted into us biologically and we will never overcome it. It exists in its extreme in nature. As for Britain, as a person of colour and a migrant, I can say that white British people are the least racist. Yes there is racism there, but if you compare to other communities then they are not openly racist and certainly not institutionally racist. In the UK you have so many doctors, lawyers, teachers, social workers, council workers etc etc who are all from ethnic minority groups. That doesnt happen if society is racist. These are positions of power and a racist society would never allow minorities to be included in them. Don't believe me? Go to any country from Southern Europe, the middle east, south east Asia, Asia, Africa or Latin America and tell me if you find the same. You don't. Because unlike white westerners they aren't going to give key positions of power to minorities, and in some countries they are carrying out openly racist policies, for example in Japan and the Middle East can never become a full citizen and neither can their children even if born in that country, and in South Africa now that the black Africans are in control they actually have legislation stating that black South Africans should be hired first if there are both black and white applicants. Even though whites are only 8.4% of the population there, they are openly discriminated against. So is Britain racist? Yes in some areas, but not in any way which really matters. As a foreigner I have the same rights and access as white people here and the truth is nobody really cares if you are black or white or Asian in a work environment. There may be individuals who are racist but on the whole they generally keep it to themselves as its such a social taboo to be openly racist. And the fact that it's a social taboo to be racist goes to show that Britain is not, in fact, racist. In a racist society racism is not looked down upon, it is celebrated and promoted like it is in the middle east and Africa. And let's not get started on gay and trans rights.... Does that answer your question? P.S. Isolated instances of racism do not make a 'racist society' they are just that. Isolated instances. A racist society would have constant episodes of racism with the population encouraging it and the government and media encouraging it too. This is NOT the case in the UK. | |||

On your profile you state: "You will have an inclusive, lefty outlook and be open to being adored" I think this says everything about your response. You have been poisoned and brainwashed by cultural Marxism when you are corrected by a mixed race guy and you still keep spouting the same things. I'm a Trans migrant and POC. I don't think that England is a racist or sexist society. Stop pidgeonholing people into groups. Morgan Freeman said it best when he said "if you want to get rid of racism then STOP talking about it." He is basically saying that he doesn't see himself as a black actor, but an actor, period. This far left driven ideology of putting everyone into victim groups and 'intersectionality' is harmful and really driving an increase in animosity between communities. For those who don't know what 'intersectionality' is, this is the theory that is being taught in snowflake Universities right now, and it's the idea that you get more 'oppression' points the more minority boxes you tick, so I would score quite highly as a "trans, female, person of colour, from former colony, and a migrant, who's first language is not English". It's also what is driving this hysteria about racism causing witch hunts against men, getting women fired as models, whipping up frenzy in minority communities, and restricting freedom of speech with insidiously named 'hate speech' laws, causing anger and resentment between communities. Don't you see, Blanche, that your entire ideology is both racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic and divisive? I don't want to be seen as 'different' or a 'victim'. You do. And that is what makes you truly racist, with the most pitiful mind of racism. The "bigotry of low expectations". You are coming across as another typical white leftist female who is desperately trying to "virtue signal" and be offended on minorities behalf in order to prove how "non racist" and "good" you are. Well guess what? The people have had enough of this Bull**** and won't stand for it any more. Minorities are waking up to it too and have realised that the left is using it to manipulate them into votes, just like the Democrats in America and Labour in the UK have done. We are sick of it. I also think it's really rich for a white woman to tell a mixed race guy to essentially shut up because she disagrees that the 'discrimination' pushers are the ones creating the racism. You think he doesn't know what's going on? This reminds me of a cartoon I saw online the other day of a black woman having a white woman put her hand on her mouth to silence her and the white woman says: "You poor, ignorant fool who has internalised white supremacy and racism! Don't worry, I'll fight the good fight for you, since your are obviously too brainwashed to know better! I'll be offended on YOUR behalf!" Well, indeed. That's what it feels like right now. The thing is I genuinely don't blame you. Thanks to the establishment, this is what you have been taught all your life. If you want to see and hear why I am against this and want to hear another point of view to that then PM me and I will give you a few links which might open up your eyes. #redpill | |||

"Britain is rife with racism. But not in the KKK sense or a rise number of neo nazis. It’s because a large number of people seem to find racism in anything. If a minority isn’t nominated in an award category it’s racism. There was an advert (dove I think) where a black woman took her jumper off and became a white woman, complaints were made about racism. It’s too easy to shout discrimination and a lot of people are doing it Just blacks and women...... Nicely played.
Am I missing something here?
Yes.
Thanks for clearing that up
Cis white male states there’s only an issue because too many people shout discrimination. Someone else names marginalised groups that are likely wanting to address discrimination, neither being cis white male.
I’m half black, so would I still fall into cis white male catorgory?
Are you? I stand corrected. Cis male then. But still talking tripe, in my opinion
Can I ask why I’m suddenly being called a CIS male?
I’d also like to know what you find funny since racism is anything but funny. If we can’t have a serious conversation about it then I’d rather we didn’t have one at all
Are you not cis? Happy to be corrected again.
Also you’re accusing me of finding racism funny by some interesting extrapolation and assumption of (I presume) the use of an emoji. I don’t find racism funny. My answers are serious. But I respect if you don’t want to discuss. Please respect the fact I think your initial post was, in my opinion, tripe. Are you okay? I’m not trying to upset you.
Blanche.
On your profile you state:
"You will have an inclusive, lefty outlook and be open to being adored"
I think this says everything about your response. You have been poisoned and brainwashed by cultural Marxism when you are corrected by a mixed race guy and you still keep spouting the same things.
I'm a Trans migrant and POC. I don't think that England is a racist or sexist society. Stop pidgeonholing people into groups.
Morgan Freeman said it best when he said "if you want to get rid of racism then STOP talking about it." He is basically saying that he doesn't see himself as a black actor, but an actor, period.
This far left driven ideology of putting everyone into victim groups and 'intersectionality' is harmful and really driving an increase in animosity between communities. For those who don't know what 'intersectionality' is, this is the theory that is being taught in snowflake Universities right now, and it's the idea that you get more 'oppression' points the more minority boxes you tick, so I would score quite highly as a "trans, female, person of colour, from former colony, and a migrant, who's first language is not English". It's also what is driving this hysteria about racism causing witch hunts against men, getting women fired as models, whipping up frenzy in minority communities, and restricting freedom of speech with insidiously named 'hate speech' laws, causing anger and resentment between communities.
Don't you see, Blanche, that your entire ideology is both racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic and divisive?
I don't want to be seen as 'different' or a 'victim'. You do. And that is what makes you truly racist, with the most pitiful mind of racism. The "bigotry of low expectations".
You are coming across as another typical white leftist female who is desperately trying to "virtue signal" and be offended on minorities behalf in order to prove how "non racist" and "good" you are.
Well guess what? The people have had enough of this Bull**** and won't stand for it any more. Minorities are waking up to it too and have realised that the left is using it to manipulate them into votes, just like the Democrats in America and Labour in the UK have done. We are sick of it.
I also think it's really rich for a white woman to tell a mixed race guy to essentially shut up because she disagrees that the 'discrimination' pushers are the ones creating the racism. You think he doesn't know what's going on?
This reminds me of a cartoon I saw online the other day of a black woman having a white woman put her hand on her mouth to silence her and the white woman says:
"You poor, ignorant fool who has internalised white supremacy and racism! Don't worry, I'll fight the good fight for you, since your are obviously too brainwashed to know better! I'll be offended on YOUR behalf!"
Well, indeed. That's what it feels like right now.
The thing is I genuinely don't blame you. Thanks to the establishment, this is what you have been taught all your life. If you want to see and hear why I am against this and want to hear another point of view to that then PM me and I will give you a few links which might open up your eyes.
#redpill"I agree with aspects of what you say here. I actually do. You are still, as we all do, making assumptions about me that are incorrect. But that’s okay. It’s by far the most interesting post I’ve read. And yes, I’d love to talk more, I really would. Thank you! | |||

From what I understand cis means that my gender matches my sex from birth, which if I’m right, is correct. But why you’re suddenly using that label is beyond me. As far as I can remember I’ve never used your sex or skin colour to undermine any of your opinions. From what I’ve read the only reason you think my opinion is tripe is because I’ve been male since birth and because you thought I was white
And yes I assumed you used the laughing emoji because you found it funny. Not sure why I wouldn’t
No! I disagreed with your initial post as positing that there wasn’t really any racism as it was really only false cries of (and that an example you used was not racist, as I feel it is).
I used the term cis to help you understand Granny’s reply to make it really clear - unrelated to my first post.
I smiled as I was using the word tripe again and disagreeing with you (just my opinion) to keep it less confrontational and not because I thought the subject matter was racist.

The whole "cultural Marxism" thing is a laugh. Only ever used by people who don't have the faintest idea what Marxism is. ""He"? I'm really offended by that.

"Great answer Sissy4Alphas.
Sissy4Alphas is giving me a semi
It's because over the past two years I became redpilled and see all this rubbish for what it really is. The biggest red pill was actually reading the Communist Manifesto this past summer. What I previously thought was an innocent ideology and an idealist utopia is the most hateful, violent and divisive rhetoric. Truly truly awful. After that I read about cultural Marxism and the Frankfurt School and everything fell into place. I had seen these terms in the past and thought they were crazy conspiracy theories. Now I have looked into them they aren't. The penny dropped and I feel so much more enlightened and free. "Very refreshing views on this thread, thanks for sharing and for plain speaking - of which I am a fan. I am not political at all, much more intuitive. I am white, middle class, educated, and should have turned out (judging by my peers) to be a left wing liberal. And yet I despise a spirit I often discern coming from that quarter - they speak softly, with a thinly-veiled venom I never heard coming from the old school. | |||

Agreed.
Really? It's a conspiratorial rant about "cultural Marxism" and "left wing brainwashing" . He's the opposite side of the coin to the people he is criticising.
The whole "cultural Marxism" thing is a laugh. Only ever used by people who don't have the faintest idea what Marxism is.
"He"?
I'm really offended by that.
Technically, thanks to hate speech legislation I could report you to the police right now because I "perceive" it to be transphobic. Your "intention" doesn't matter. What matters is how I "perceive" it. And I "perceive" that to be very offensive.
Chilling to think that you could go to prison for making a simple comment on a forum, isn't it? And yet it's happening every day.
Well that's what your ideology promotes. How does it feel to be on the other side of it?
As for the conspiracy accusation. It's not. Like I said, I used to think the same, then I read up about it, and read both sides of the story and came to my conclusion.
Again, PM me if you want another opinion. Though I have a suspicion that you are a Marxist. Are you? "I am a lawyer and I afraid that what you say about hate speech is legally incorrect. If you believe that to be wrong, perhaps you could refer me to the relevant Act. And the whole cultural Marxism thing clearly is a nonsense conspiracy theory. The idea that a few German professors were able to cause massive social change. The world doesn't work like that. As for whether I am a Marxist, I believe Marx was an intellectual giant and whilst not everything he wrote has borne the test of time, his insights into historical method and economic structures were profound. As we see by the fact that we are still debating them two hundred years after he was born. If you really interested in Marx and are prepared to consider his ideas with an open mind, read a bit more than the manifesto and avoid the alt right websites. | |||

"Good question on "the big question" this morning, interested to hear views? I think a better, more "equal" question would be : Are all countries racist against each other? (why single out only Britain) Or Are different races racist against each other? The answer to both of those is undeniably YES. It will also never be eliminated. From a neurobiological point of view people recognise everything into groups and binaries. Known or unknown. Friend or foe. Us and them. Familiar or unfamiliar. Like us or Not like us. This is human nature that is deep rooted into us biologically and we will never overcome it. It exists in its extreme in nature. " Exactly. We are tribal at our very core, and some tribes are more familiar or more attractive to us than others. That's fine, if I don't fancy Inuit men it does not make me racist - only a wrong attitude would dictate that. That's why I hate political correcteness, it is all about the surface, what is apparent, when it is the heart that counts. | |||

If we wanted a sensible discussion one would ask "is britain in 2018, more or less racists than *insert country* *insert year*?" You could actually have a proper conversation about that question and come to a conclusion. | |||

"Britain is rife with racism. But not in the KKK sense or a rise number of neo nazis. It’s because a large number of people seem to find racism in anything. If a minority isn’t nominated in an award category it’s racism. There was an advert (dove I think) where a black woman took her jumper off and became a white woman, complaints were made about racism. It’s too easy to shout discrimination and a lot of people are doing it Just blacks and women...... Nicely played.

Yes.

"Yes, everybody in the world is racist to a greater or lesser extent it is a natural state of existence. Racism is not just about the colour of a person’s skin but also includes prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism because of their race, background or culture. There is racism between English, Irish, Scots and Welsh as well as racism between those of Indian and Pakistan origin or Australians and New Zealanders. This is not a modern discrimination but goes back to the dawn of time and shows its face in animals as well as humans. It is time we accept and celebrate the difference rather than try to pretend there is no difference. " Excellent answer. | |||

People are very confused about what racism is and who the perpetrators and victims are! I'm white English working class who grew up with German and Irish parents in a time when people where still obsessed with the Nazis and the second world war (not all Germans were Nazis or complicit). And a time when the troubles in Ireland were at there height. I learnt quite quickly that if I kept my mouth shut, and being white, no one would know about my heritage. I still had to listen to the racism. People here still hate the Germans and the Irish and still vocalise their opinions. I know it sounds silly but racism is colour blind. What ever colour some one is, they're as capable of dishing it out or having to take it. Colour is just a convenient focal point for irrational and ignorant views. If someone doesn't have a different colour skin people just focus on something else like...all Irish are a bit thick or, all Germans started the war and are Nazis...Jews have tails and eat babies etc. When racism is just spoken of in terms of colour it's not being defined properly. | |||

"I know personally ten families that left north London as there young children were the only white kids in there class / school. . Moved up the A10 hertford way and back to normal ..majority white kids.. True fact" My daughter went to school in Haringey where she was one of only three white girls in her class. Her parents were not concerned by that. She subsequently got to Oxford University. True fact. | |||

"Just been asked to leave an Indian supermarket Yes Racism is everywhere " I know what you mean . There's an employment agency in my town that doesn't allow Brits to sign up . Only Polish are allowed . I'm not blaming all Polish people as I know some and I get on very well with them . But that is wrong imo!! | |||

"In some parts of the country yes, predominately in what could be called the "traditional industrial heartland", from about north Staffordshire (Stoke on trent can be particularly xenophobic-"we" - being the city I live in, not me personally- elected a very right wing branch of UKIP for quite a few years), up through Mersyside, Greater Manchester and as far up as Wigan. Bit shit really. " I know your city reasonably well and it has it's fair share of problems it's true. But don't for a minute think that racism is restricted to the industrial heartland. That is far from the truth. | |||

"its acceptable for a black guy to call another black guy by the "N" word, but unacceptable for a white to call a black this same word" Why do certain types of white people ALWAYS state this? SOME black people use the "n" word. Just like SOME women refer to themselves as slags/whores/bitches. Do you think because SOME people use derogatory words to describe themselves everyone should? | |||

Over the last couple of years I've experienced more racism than anytime during the 60s and 70s so don't think it's just the industrial heartland. | |||

"Yes, everybody in the world is racist to a greater or lesser extent it is a natural state of existence. Racism is not just about the colour of a person’s skin but also includes prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism because of their race, background or culture. There is racism between English, Irish, Scots and Welsh as well as racism between those of Indian and Pakistan origin or Australians and New Zealanders. This is not a modern discrimination but goes back to the dawn of time and shows its face in animals as well as humans. It is time we accept and celebrate the difference rather than try to pretend there is no difference. " this is wrong RACE-ism is to do all about race if the english hate the Scottish and they are both Caucasian then its not racism cuz its about country....is a half scot half english white baby called mixed race? | |||

"Posed as it is , it is not really a question that could elicit a meaningful answer. A. Some of the population of Britain, regardless of their race , gender or class are racist and others are not. Middle of the road answer for a middle of the road question. " Award winning comment by an award winning personality | |||

If "of course it's acceptable" is your viewpoint it would be an exercise in futility my adding anything further. | |||
