Have you seen the consequences to any school child if they make a one off racist insult to another? They're treated like some sort of habitual offender!<br /><br />In contrast, an increasing amount of physical violence - against teachers too - is ignored. Beating others up is fine it seems, but don't dare insult their race.<br /><br />A lot of what is called racism is actually dislike of a different culture. The left, of course, calls this racism in an attempt to blur two different concepts. <br /><br />It's completely unfair to dislike someone based on their skin colour, but culture is a different thing entirely.<br /><br />For example, I have no problem with asian girls and will happily have a drink with them - but I hate seeing fully veiled women because I have utter contempt for the ideals that would cause someone to shut themselves off from the world like that.<br /><br />And I am rapidly seeing parts of my city become Muslim ghettos - with all the creeping Sharia law that we have seen in other parts of the country.<br /><br />Diversity is only good up to a point - if different parts of that society have wildly different Ideas about human rights and freedoms, disaster becomes inevitable.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05954799230233277833noreply@blogger.com
