Muslims aren't all Pakis (despite most British Muslims probably are Pakistanis), however Pakistanis are nearly 99% Muslim.Montegriffo wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2019 10:08 amNit picking.BjornP wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2019 6:05 amYou can't be "racist" against Muslims anymore than you can be "racist" against Christians. Or Liberals. Or Conservatives. Or Communists. Or Vegans. You can be prejudiced, discriminatory or ignorant about and towards those people, but given the very nature of being universal, non-ethnic-specific/non-racial-specific beliefs/lifestyle choices, your antipathy is not "racist" in nature. Not unless you believe race is a conscious choice. In which case, Monte, what would you consider the accusation of you being "racist" towards racism. After all, those people choose to believe in racism, so they're now a race and your hatred of them is therefore racist....Montegriffo wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2019 4:17 am
Racists come in all forms.
You regularly call blacks racist for ''hating'' whites but somehow a Jew can't be racist because he only hates Muslims.
Yeah, it's as stupid as it sounds. As stupid as the notion that even vitriolic hatred of Islam is "racism". Doesn't mean hatred of Muslims can't be extremely harmful, just that it's not a racist hatred.
When our far right talks about Muslims it is usually using racist terms such as Paki.
Doesn't seem to even matter if it is Hindu Pakistani men they are chasing down the street.
As far as I'm concerned it is a bigotry aimed at brown people without knowing what faith the victim practices.
It's a bigotry, you say? You sure you aren't just nitpicking?
