Yeah, I don’t like her either. But that’s the Labour party for you.

I’m aware that there are many religions (including Islam) in India, and variants of those religions. But I don’t see how it changes what I said. India is a country, and not all Hindus / Sikhs / ect are Indian.

There are two main divisions in Islam, Sunni and Shia. This split happened very early in Islam after Muhammad died, over who should be his successor. There are some other branches, but I am not very familiar with them. Most Islamic countries are Sunni, with the exceptions of Iran and Iraq from memory, who are Shia.

The sects that I mentioned,…[Read more]

I just googled it, it’s made by the BBC so it can’t be trusted at all. But I might watch it later.

I’m going to guess they didn’t choose any Salafi or Wahabi muslims (The ones that are the problem) as part of ‘different walks of life’.

Motivation is an important part of the legal system, its very strange to me that you would just discard it for no real reason.

If motivation isn’t important, and only ‘using bigoted language’ then Sophia is guilty of racism by saying :

As she used the offending language in a post. Do you not see what the problem with the logic you are using…[Read more]

Then please explain it.

Killing someone by accident isn’t murder, legally.

The indian people I know in the rooms have never said anything to me about abuse and I have never seen it myself, so who am I to believe?

It matters when we are having a discusion about what things are racist, and how to define them.

Yes she had bad things said to her (allegedly), but she has also said bad things here which you are all too…[Read more]

I don’t think there are very many genuine racists around in this country still, the media is…[Read more]

Well, i’m sorry for being poor then.

What was said was racist, I agree. I meant that I don’t think the person who said it is actually a racist, just someone who thought it would be an effective way to provoke a response. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

I don’t know who either of these people are, but ironic racism is a thing. I do it sometimes in the chat room (impersonating a Nazi…[Read more]

I have never really had any problems with Wetherspoons, I go there fairly regularly to meet with business clients as my home office isn’t really equiped to do that.

Maybe that’s because I go there during times that its not busy, or just that the one that I go to is better.

Well … yes?

Take the example : “I think that all black people should be shot because they are animals”. None of those individual words are ‘racist’, but when taken in context the whole sentance would be.
