Cool story bro :thumbsup:

Well, criminally underfunding the NHS and schools might have a small impact on their ability to function. As a teacher, I’m pretty sure it’s not the polish lad or the several Pakistani children in my class that mean we can’t afford to buy glue sticks. And I only see racism when people say or do...

You say my view is simplistic yet you’ve just implied that the housing crisis is due to an increase in population but the issue isn’t just an increase in population. We have thousands of houses that are vacant that aren’t being lived in because they are unaffordable. Again, that’s not because of...

Thanks. You’ve inadvertently assisted in proving a point I was making earlier :thumbsup:

But there is ample evidence that suggests that immigration is a massive boost to the economy. The current strains on the NHS, schools and local government are not because of immigration. They’re because of the policies of our current government. Part of the issue is that people don’t want to...

Because you are not a race of peoples. You are a group of people who share a political ideology. Maybe my assumption you were creating a victim complex by accident was off the mark...

Because conservatism, by its very nature, is promoting traditional social institutions in the context of culture and civilization and prone to attracting those with ‘old fashioned’ views. It is therefore usually those with conservative views that attempt to hide their ideologies behind their...

I said that almost all the things that I have seen on Brexit threads that are racist and xenophobic have come from leave voters. I then immediately said that not all leave voters are racist. It’s a very important distinction. You seem, inadvertently I’m sure, to be creating a victim complex...

As I said in my previous post, I’ve seen a lot of racism and xenophobia on the Brexit threads, almost exclusively from leave voters. Of course that doesn’t mean ALL those who voted leave are racist. But, again, you can’t say racist, xenophobic things and not expect to get called on it.

I agree, that’s why I put “low level” racism in inverted commas. Racism is racism but in some people’s minds as long as they aren’t dropping the N bomb or using vile language of that ilk they can say whatever they like and it’s fine. I’ve seen some pretty blatant racism and xenophobia on NSC...

Could you give me an example? Of course, if someone hasn’t said anything racist then, of course, I wouldn’t say they were racist. However, the issue lies with, as previously stated, that some people have a tendency to lack empathy or the ability to see that “low level” or casual racism isn’t ok...

From my experience (in the wider world and on NSC) it’s usually a case of white, middle class men who hold this delusion that they can say anything they want and not get called on it. The kind of people who usually start sentences with “I’m not racist but...”

An easy way to avoid accusations of being a racist is to not say racist things. I always find that helps.
