Camberwell has changed. A few years ago a bloke having a barney with his missus wouldn’t have been very remarkable.

That word only has power with your lot now.

Racism is largely BS.

Great

So as it's unremarkable it can't be used against them. Sorted

A view I do not entirely disagree with.

Racism or maybe just plain old xenophobia still exists in many people ut is is increasingly fractured and regionalised and backed up with because...

A long time ago I did my thesis on studying how the local baron/landowner kept the peasants in check. This was often by scaring them. Sending theatre groups and story tellers round the villages telling tales of invaders and monsters. The boogie man was the only variable linked to where you were.

Not much has changed...

The phrase “whiter than white” is believed to originatefrom Shakespeare's poem Venus and Adonis, published in 1593, and had become defined as being honest and moral.15 Sep 2018.

Epic fail there danh but hey it fits your political persuasion.
Onwards and upwards. Ha ha
Better luck next time.

The 'Racism' word deserves nothing but contempt from the modern right because of the way the left and neo liberals have used it as a weapon.

It's been used as a weapon to ruin careers and disenfrancise people.....many times from what I've seen in very doubtful circumstances that operated in a salem witch trial like manner.

Racism, as it is used today is preference demonised. You did it right there. You demonised preference as racist because you used it as a collective term with no nuance.

I live in a society today that operates double standards for white people as opposed to non whites, Europeans for non Europeans.

If we view racism as 'hatred' for a particular ethnicity other than 'preference' for your own ethnicity.....then I'm telling you that I see little of that within society other than anti white commentary and actions from the far left activists.

I would agree that there are degrees of preference, which have plausible deniability and are used to limit opportunities in select housing areas and jobs.

Is that 'racism' or limiting contact to a 'type' of person? It's more class than race.

So if what you call 'racism' is really preference then indeed it is everywhere.

If Africans are racist for preferring Africans, then like them I'm 'racist'.

If Chinese are racist for preferring the Chinese then like them I'm 'racist'.

If Japanese are racist (and I'm very much a Japanophile) for preferring the Japanese then like them I'm 'racist'.

I could go on...but you get the point.

Why are Europeans being held to a double standard?

I don't really agree with the left's ideas on racism....I don't demonise the above ethnicities for their own preference.....I view the left as infused with double standards and disingenerous BS.

I'm English, I prefer the northern European ethnicity with which that is connected...It's northern European genetically but by no means exclusively as ethnicity also embraces the cultural....can can transcend genetics but not allegiance.

I'll repeat that....I'm English, I prefer the northern European ethnicity with which that is connected....but I can appreciate and do appreciate many other ethnicities.

I don't 'hate' anybody. I'm not against you because of your 'race'. There are plenty of non white people who support these ideas on the right and are accepted on the right....and most non white people hold these ideas themselves for their own ethnicities....I don't view them as 'hating' me or being 'racist'.

You don't have to be white to have allegiance to what I hold allegiance to. However, like all the ethnicities above I hold value in my ethnicity not being wiped out...I view that as having value for all ethnicities ...The idea that I hate anyone because of their genetics is nonsense and I believe it's been nonsense for most of the people whose careers have been smashed to pieces.

I believe in meritocracy and as a teacher believed in that above all things. So I listen to the left on race and I think I'm living in a different world.....they think normal people are nazis....The contention of 'hate' has been a lie over used by activists for decades for creating misled mobs to ruin people.

When it comes to demonising people I know what I think about that.
