UK unleashes racism?

[Homeless Nutter]

I think we will go around and around in circles to be honest. I suppose racism can be defined in a way that we take a white man who will not let his daughter marry a black man as an example. There maybe reasons for this, but we would have to call it "racist." We can turn the tables and say that a black father will not let his daughter marry a white man, so this too is racist. Or we could change the black and white, to white and Japanese, or Japanese and white, or Chinese and black, whichever way you look at it, it is still racist, and it should not be confused with behaviour-based judgement which can make people hate simply because of behaviour, and not the colour of skin. And now, do you have a response to my question.

LOL... That is not a definition - just a bunch of very simplistic examples. And of course you completely neglect the kind of racism, that considers certain people superior - you just have it in your head, that racism is calling people of different skin-color than your own bad names, which is naive. Saying that Asians are good at math, or that black people have huge dongs - that's still racism, even if you consider those generalizations "compliments".

There is no such thing as an objective definition of "race". Different people have different idea, that suits their own prejudices. For example - many Germans some 70 years ago used to consider themselves a superior race, compared, to - say - Polish or Russians - and they're ALL WHITE. And many black people consider other black people a different race - ever heard of Rwanda? Hutu, Tootsie, genocide - all that? No? Google it.

As for your question - I don't know if calling someone a "pommy" is racist, depends on what the person means by it, I suppose. It sure is xenophobic, if not used as a joke among friends. Either way - it's a borderline issue and it's based on the same mechanism as discrimination against people, who look different - prejudice.

Anyway - I don't call anyone a "pommy", "frog", or "limey" - I must be the ONLY non-racist in the world, by your standard...
