What is a racist ? What do people understand it to actually mean ?
It's a term bandied about a lot these days.......if I don't like chavs with their ways, does that actually make me a racist ? If I don't like Latvians? Africans ? Immigration and immigrants ? Does that make me a racist ? Not liking an ethnicity does that make one a racist ? Or is it if that dislike is materialised in to actions verbal or something else that it becomes racist ?
If I like the scottish accent but not the liverpudlian is that slightly racist ?
Geordie accent great ! Black Country dire, racist statement or not ?
West Country good, Pakistani awful ....racist ?
Interestingly the anti fascists are so vehement in their denunciation of the far right it results in violence and intolerance on their part equal to or in many cases exceeding the far right raciststhey denounce !
So what actually constitutes a racist is it really just down to disliking a different ethnicity, culture ?
