Isn't the context of the phrase "Migrants go home" relevant? Or is it a bit like stating that stereotypes exist in racial and social groups which will always get you lynched in some groups?
I'm not a graffiti fan, but I do admit some of the recent Banksy stuff has appealed to me by merit of the messages and the actual artistic qualities displayed.
People think if they complain then 'somebody' has to do 'something' - the phrase feck off is most underutilised imho.
Good grief!
Take away the Banksy element and it's still racist graffiti, doesn't matter if it's satire or not, If he wants to make a satirical comment he shouldn't do it anonymously
like when I was called racist for pointing out there are stereotypes about Jews
Got similar once somewhere else when I mentioned that the huge influx of Eastern European Jews to the East End of London in the late 1800's, a group who refused to integrate, brought anti Semitism back to Britain. That this group was very, very different in attitude to British Jews who had integrated very well in the UK is a matter of historical reality but, no matter, any adverse criticism of any Jew, anywhere or at any time, makes you Hitler.
There can never be any debate on anything if people denounce all reality, no matter how well proven by fact, as racism, anti-Semitism etc. The silliest thing is that they appear to deny that any minorities can ever suffer from normal human failings like racism or they apply double standards. Minorities who never venture outside their own communities in the UK are part of our vibrant multicultural society but white British who prefer their own areas to stay white are xenophobes or little Englanders.
Crazy, whoever it was by. The way I read it, the intent was more likely anti-racist than racist.
Seemed pretty obvious to me, but then some people think mentioning or acknowledging racism makes you racist (like when I was called racist for pointing out there are stereotypes about Jews).
