How are we defining 'racist'?
That's the problem, I'm not sure what the word means any more, do you?

You must have some idea. You write around the topic of race and racism a fair amount. Take it as meaning discriminating negatively (in the wider meaning of that term) between people based on race/on grounds of racial difference. Where would you draw the line (if you don't think that's a bad thing in principle).Where in your view does the dividing line between acceptable and unacceptable such discrimination lie,within the UK today?

That's the problem.....People go far beyond what the original actual definition of the word states. It's led to a loss in credibility. Its usage is often scattergun being incorrectly applied by those with few brain cells who like its drama..Often confusing prejudice or even innocent statements with racism....Still it only leads to them being ridiculed by anyone with half a brain. Racism in principle is quite straightforward and easy to understand.....So it's one of the most sure sign indications of a poorly educated individual when they apply it poorly.

I wouldn't discriminate negatively (or positively)based on the race of a person.

Bear in mind you posted the below only 3 days ago,as a random example, so you do seem to have views about "discriminating in a negative context " (and remember I said the wider meaning of the term) akin to "differentiating in a negative context" "Quote derben at 03 Jun 2015 1.00pm Eastern European women. Scandinavian women. Not the same religion, culture or language. Makes absolutely no odds to the fact that 90% of them are outrageously attractive. If you want to let the aforementioned list restrict you from those potential delights, you're seriously missing out. "Usually the same religion, Christian. Same sort of culture, drink alcohol, dress in a western manner (and I don't mean cowboy outfits). Generally share the same culture and the vast majority speak English. Racially indistinguishable."

Edited by legaleagle (06 Jun 2015 12.35pm) What line have I got to draw if I say I would not discriminate on the grounds of a person's race? I stand by: "People prefer to live with people who share the same language, racial characteristics, religion and culture. Always have and always will". I've no real idea of what you mean by "you do seem to have views about "discriminating in a negative context " (and remember I said the wider meaning of the term) akin to "differentiating in a negative context". Some plain English might help.

The question I asked is quite clear.You just aren't addressing it Where would you draw the line personally in terms of what is acceptable or unacceptable within the UK in terms of people discriminating between people on grounds of race/racial difference in a negative manner (in the wider context meaning of "discriminating" akin to differentiating between in a negative manner). You don't wish to answer,fair enough. Move on.
