To be fair mate you’re the only that brought racism up originally so can only assume was aimed at the OP
Took you four minutes from quoting the post you were replying to, to actually hitting reply properly. That's just over 4 words typed a minute, are you typing with broken fingers on a broken keyboard?
Shouted down? These days, you get thrown in prison for making fun of people saying I'm not racist but.....
I think the problem is tarring everyone with the same brush and making general statements. For example I’m not “anti-immigrant” but I am anti-uncontrolled immigration and loads of military aged men coming in everyday on boats that don’t like our culture. Does that make me a racist? I think there’s honest conversations to be had in the middle
Because it is historically a commonly used get out of jail card for people who are racist. My brother in law is not white- does that mean i can't be racist then? It is a ridiculous thing to say.
Yeah fair enough, but my comment was in reference to him saying that people get shouted down. Yeah, they do when they're being bigots.
He's even replying to other people's replies to someone else now. Seen more brains on the end of a chickens beak.
During this post, I've been nothing but polite and gracious. I just felt that someone had to say so something about this forum. I do think that you need to go back to the OP and see how that has been manipulated,. Follow it all the way through and make up your own mind.
OK . So just say "I'm not a racist". And then that'll do. No corroboration required. I think that situation is just fine. The fact that your brother in law is not white is - in my eyes - irrelevant to me. We're all the same. I go about my life proving it. (Not that there's a pressing chance in Staincross tbh)
