Im a Guardian readers nightmare, a right-winger you can't hang your neuroses on!
Oh, my fathers family are Irish, so not sure if I count as Anglo-Saxon.

Well you are certainly very arrogant, that's for sure!DeWinter wrote:moses wrote:DeWinter wrote:

And just so you know my mother is from Sri-Lanka and my father is Welsh, I don't read The Guardian, I speak 3 languages fluently and I'm engaged to a French girl, not sure what nationality that makes our child, oh yes and I'm homophonic

There is nothing racist in describing the effects of education. One might say it is the opposite of racist, since it credits the effect of institutions and says nothing at all about so-called "race." Is it racist to say that a society is racist? That a culture is racist? Am I racist if I speak of the antebellum American south as racist? Am I racist if I point out that chronic malnutrition (which has social and political causes, and not racial ones) has harmful effects?

Regardless, this is a rather pointless conversation. When one is called a racist, all discussion has already ceased. You've already decided I am an evil person. Suggestions of racism are indicative of weak argumentation.
Sorry you've been offended.

Yes. Describing individuals as racism is defensible but describing an entire nation as racist isn't. Not unless you can vouch for them all.sultan2075 wrote:Is it racist to say that a society is racist? That a culture is racist? Am I racist if I speak of the antebellum American south as racist?

Did I at any point say that or anything resembling it? I have no reason to think that you're evil although you've given me no reason on this thread to like or respect you very much. (I'm sure that won't bother you in the least, which is fine.)sultan2075 wrote:You've already decided I am an evil person.
Not when the person is actually being racist. However, saying that anyone who criticises you has already lost the argument very much is.sultan2075 wrote:Suggestions of racism are indicative of weak argumentation.
But what a bizarre thing to say. Are you seriously proposing that we should never suggest that someone is being racist because it's a weak argument?

The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

No surprises at the funeral - carefully orchestrated mass hysteria, displays of military might, cult of personality writ large - a late bid to upstage Sir Jimmy for funeral of the year.
