CUK's Far right underbelly

[SallyAnne]

If people have a problem with immigration or groups of migrants that does not necessarily make them a racist. If I see black youths beating people up on 5 seperate occasions and next time I see a gang of black youths I cross the road, does that make me a racist?

Yes - for picking "black youths" in your story, feeding the racist stereotype that black people run in gangs, and beat people up frequently.

HTH.

...but some of the covert racism on here is sickening....

This from the guy who has a history of posting (c)overt racist posts on CC.net.

Has anyone noticed the radical right wing underbelly of this site or am I just being over sensitive? There seems to be a range of prejudices that certain posters posses to outright racism in some cases. As many of you know my political stance is 'slightly right of centre' but some of the covert racism on here is sickening....

alternatively most of the posters on this site have views that can be reasoned and argued. Call them left, right, or centre but the predominance of views are centred around individuality rather than collectivism. The likes of Denny, benn0 and omegaman have socialist views that rarely stand up to questioning, and are based upon assumptions that are clearly wrong (that the state knows better than the individual for example).

I would hardly call a strong desire amongst posters for the state to stop interfering with people's lives the views of people who are "radically right wing"

No but that is what I experience in London. The stats speak for themselves, 'African' gangs are responsible for a large % of gang violence in the UK. If it was Polish gangs then i would cross the street next time I saw a gang of Polacks. It's not me being racist, I have black friends, I just like my teeth and IPOD.

It makes you unusually (for this site) sensible

I think people get mixed up between racism ( the colour of your skin) and culturism (new word).
What is the difference between saying "I don't like Scots" and "I don't like Pakistanis"?

None both are racist

Absolutely nothing at all!

Scots isn't an offensive word - there's no hateful undercurrent when it's used.

any word is offensive depending on how it is said and any intent behind saying it.
