Accusing people of racism is a bankrupt and small-minded style of argument. It is a witch-hunting discourse that will favour those who don't express themselves, who shut up and then manoevre into positions of power after a career of quiet blandness. It is, in the deepest sense, anti-intellectual. It closes our minds.
Am i small minded when i being white had to be have remarks about my colour and nationality made to me in a public place? I would never racialy abuse someone or make sweeping generilastions about someone because of where they come from.
ReplyDeleteI classed the people making these remarks to me "racist" what they said not only offended me it upset me greatly.
If i saw the same thing happening to anyone else regardless of their origins i would step in and and stop it from happening.
Sorry for turning this into a bit of a rant, Its just how i feel.
