Flood of IT immigrants from India

Your argument sounds a bit like:

Sir Jimmy Saville is a paedophile. He is white. So all white people are paedophiles.

[vetran]

If your argument is "some people from this culture / race have this attitude, therefore all people from this culture / race have this attitude" then that is pretty much the definition of racism.

as these lawyers were the elite and responsible for upholding the law I think we can describe it as institutionalised sexism!

Whilst I see your points nowhere during Operation Yew Tree have any of the lawyers involved said that this was an acceptable practice for a white person and in fact every single person is in complete agreement that Jimmy was an evil pervert.

Which as I say is not quite the same as the prosecuting lawyers (note) saying in effect this is an acceptable practice as the woman deserved it.

I know not all people of a certain culture/race can all be grouped under 1 banner.

But then I think you all know that.

Given that some councillors around the various different English flooding cases have come out and said

1) the floods that hit the UK in 2013 were God's punishment for the introduction of gay marriage
2) homosexuality is a "spiritual disease" and should be healed

I would say that if that is what your supposed intellectual cream say then there is probably a point to make that certain cultures see flooding as perfectly acceptable punishment for homosexuality, but that it can be cured, and as such any person should be wary of people from that culture.



That's fun, to take examples of what one or two people say, pretend that it's representative of the views expressed by a larger group, then extrapolate that even further to imply it's representative of a culture as a whole.

I wonder if OPM is alluding to the fact that while racism is irrational (and therefore seen as being immoral), a certain level of predjudice is often a very sensible thing.

Whether it is in this case or not is another matter - but predjudice isn't always racist.

Ok, can you please explain the disaster called David Cameron?

But you think that we should be wary of those brown people. After all, it's only a matter of time before they rape us.

[Ticktock]

You really are a feckwhit aren't you?

Interesting that - bet if you tried it in Britain you would be sacked for being racist.... and if they did rape you well it's their culture and we need to respect it....

also apparently being raped as woman in Nigerian is something you can expect to happen on a regular basis e.g. it is not if it is when and how often.

Short answer, no.

Slightly longer answer, if you think it should be allowed to discriminate against all males of a particular nationality because some other people of that nationality are rapists, and some educated professionals of that nationality believe it is a correct punishment then I'll call that racism.

[darmstadt]

The topic is about "high end skills" and the flooding of labour markets. I hardly think Tonga will flood any market let alone high skills ones.

Which was what I was saying you idiot!

No you didn't
