Are my views racist?

It's lunacy letting educated migrants in. We've got too many educated people here already.

semi-educated

Whatever. We need poeple to do the jobs uneducated people used to do.

Saffers aren't having their farms "reclaimed" and their only way of making a living taken away from them (are they)?

Or being beaten up because Mugabe is a racist idiot?

True, but they have their own issues. My neighbours for example are saffers and their reasons for migrating have not been primarily economic. They have left to escape crime, falling educational standards, AIDS, corruption etc etc

Guys, it's an emmotive subject I know and can see it wandering off piste with religion, sexism and trolling getting a mention. Let's cut it there, I am reassured that some of the posters I respect on this forum seem to conclude that I am not being racist. I will play back some of this to my teenage economics experts at dinner tonight and see what they have to say. cheers!

Ah well its a good topic to educate your kids on the difference between knee-jerk reaction and thinking things through.

Well, you must have done some fairly extreme reading-between-the-lines there because, even here on the usually enthusiastically right-wing CUK, I don't see anyone seeming to conclude that you aren't being racist. You've either got people saying you are being Racist, or people enthusiastically embracing you for being a fellow Racist.

[TimberWolf]

Why is it okay to discriminate on educational attainment, etc, but not on race?

[Platypus]

I don't see anyone seeming to conclude that you aren't being racist.

Learn to read then.

EDIT: OK I didn't explicitly say that I didn't think the OP was being racist, but for the record, I don't. My rude reply to dang was uncalled for.
