It doesn't. But viewed from a neutral standpoint, anyone visiting GD for the first time would quickly form an opinion of certain posters and their obsessions, whether that be a correct assumption or not. Mebbe Himmy thinks you are a racist?
**** off Himmy. You called me a racist and you know it. ****ed if I am trawling though your endless drivel to prove something to you that you already know you did. ****, spineless weasel ****.Maybe but how does this apply to my post to Himmy?There seems to be a 'core' of posters on here intent on either repeatedly posting xenophobic rants directly or turning posts into their platform for xenophobic rantings.Would that be the same sort of examples that I asked repeatedly for from you, when I asked you to show me where I had made a racist comment?
It's hardly a best-kept secret. These people may also be racists. Who knows.
You show me where I called you a racist, and I'll show you where you made a racist remark.
IIRC, I called you a duck.
If it walks like a duck.......
Yes he does and I never said anything racist, I hate racist behaviour. However, I hate judgemental ignorance too and what I did was point out that Himmy was far too quick to label every single person here as racists if they expressed concern about what is happening in the world. To do so shuts down the discussion every single time and it's pointless. You will never, ever change an opinion by calling people a racist. To change an opinion is to understand what is behind that opinion and discuss in a logical manner and not make them put up a wall because he attacks them.It doesn't. But viewed from a neutral standpoint, anyone visiting GD for the first time would quickly form an opinion of certain posters and their obsessions, whether that be a correct assumption or not.

Only "every single person" that resort to racist comments.... all I did was point out that Himmy was far too quick to label every single person here as racists if the expressed concern about what is happening in the world.
Your comments are becoming more ridiculous with each successive post.You are all forgetting that Himmy thinks(term used loosely) 'racist' means anything he has read anywhere that it means.
A report translated from a foreign language says that "we" now class cultural discrimination as racism.
With that logic, Himmy may be justified in calling you racist because you don't like someone with brown hair.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_racism"Cultural racism" is used by the UN the swedish Equality Ombudsman and in the scientific world to describe some racist ideologies, ideas, reasoning, arguments, and notions.
https://www.reference.com/world-view/cultural-discrimination-67240ee8de690811Cultural discrimination refers to exclusion, restriction or hate that is directed at a person or a group on the basis of perceived or real differences in cultural values and beliefs. UNESCO indicates that discrimination can be direct or indirect and often leads to harassment or denial of basic rights. Religious hate, tribalism and racism are the most common forms of cultural discrimination.
**** ... . ****ed ... I am .... ****, spineless weasel ****.
I love it when you talk dirty...... c**t.
'Every single person that resorts to racist comments' - apart from me.Only "every single person" that resort to racist comments.... all I did was point out that Himmy was far too quick to label every single person here as racists if the expressed concern about what is happening in the world.
Similarly, I only ridicule "every single person" that resort to four-letter expletives in order to express themselves.
It does little for sensible debate. It does little for their credibility. It does little for the enhancement of the forum.
If you can't show me where I called you a racist, I can't recall why I did so.
It's a bit like explaining some natural phenomenon. Demonstrate when it happens, and it can be explained.
If you can't demonstrate when it happens, it's difficult to explain why it happens.
Can't resist this one.Religious hate, tribalism and racism are the most common forms of cultural discrimination.
That was an extreme example but if a Swedish report comes out saying any attack against people with brown hair is racism, you will believe it. Although further reading, as above, will probably show you to be wrong.Since when has having brown hair been of cultural significance?
You are really resorting to ludicrous arguments.
When you can tell me when, I can tell you why.'Every single person that resorts to racist comments' - apart from me.Only "every single person" that resort to racist comments.... all I did was point out that Himmy was far too quick to label every single person here as racists if the expressed concern about what is happening in the world.

You can't remember? REALLY? How very convenient for you. You seem to do that a lot - deny bad behaviour. Maybe you're just senile... nah..you're just a dick.
When you start to debate sensibly I will stop telling you to **** off.
Racism is one of the common forms of cultural discrimination. The quote makes it obvious that there are other forms not mentioned.Can't resist this one.Religious hate, tribalism and racism are the most common forms of cultural discrimination.
So, now - Racism is ONE form of cultural discrimination - therefore religious hate and tribalism are NOT racism.
If a Swedish article, supported by UN and other scientific bodies argued a certain argument, and it coincided with my social awareness, I'd be tempted to accept it. Wouldn't you?That was an extreme example but if a Swedish report comes out saying any attack against people with brown hair is racism, you will believe it. Although further reading, as above, will probably show you to be wrong.Since when has having brown hair been of cultural significance?

I can't remember a non-event. I can't find a non-event, and neither can you.
In the meantime, just keep making the unsubstantiated accusations and insults. It's what you're so good at.
Actually I chose to join in this thread because of one of your posts, giving fictional names as proof because it was a bit desperate even by your standards. I also joined in because you already started to call people racist when they expressed their concerns and thoughts on Islam. This ****es me off because wrong or right, people are entitled to their thoughts and you are a nobody to tell them otherwise.It's simple. Because you rail against Islam despite the things you object to being present throughout the world, throughout other cultures, throughout history, you choose to join in a thread that is islamophobic, and you join that islamophobic warchant.You know what Himmy, all I can see in your post is you not understanding a thing I said.
This proves it:
Then why only rail against Islam? Especially when you are joining in an islamophobic thread and railing against Islam within the context of child marriages. It appears as though you are as islamophobic as your companions.
I said earlier:
I would imagine that every single person with a sane mind here would be against any other religion, culture and country that also allows such practices as wife-beating, murder and child marriage. Sadly Islam is the one that makes the press and the one that most people are aware of but this doesn't mean they are only anti-Islam. You just presume they are and are again, quick to call people racists when it's not warranted.But you wanna say I am Islamophobic then fine, you obviously cannot read, you obviously have great trouble understanding others and you obviously haven't a clue what you're on about.I am against any country/religion that allows backwards practices, forced marriage, child marriage, stoning to death innocents, treating women less than second class citizens, no fair trials before capital punishment then yes, I am a phobic against all of them, don't give a **** if they Islamic, Catholic, from Peru or any-bloomin-where.
If you'd started your own thread objecting to those things, to which you say you object, without the islamophobia you would have some credibility. Or even if you'd argued that it's not Islam, but these practices that others are exploiting to excuse their islamophobia, are objectional throughout other parts of the world, cultures, etc, then you would demonstrate that you are not suffering from islamophobia.
But sadly that isn't the case.
Blame the media if you like, blame some political parties for the way Islam is reported over all others but do not be so ready to offend people with your racism slurs. You are not a nice person at all. A balanced person will actually listen to concerns, take on board what they are trying to say and offer alternative views WITHOUT calling them racist. I have seen absolutely no evidence of this from you, especially regarding my own posts. Instead you preach and you call people pretty damning things. This will not educate anyone, this will not help them see alternative views, this actually will make people dig their heels in more. It's such a shame that you are so militant over this (and many many other topics) because you do have occasionally something that is worth listening to but your delivery sucks and the message is lost among the preaching, slurs and back-and-forth point scoring.
You can call me any name under the sun, I really don't give a **** what a little man, a little troll thinks of me. I know who I am, I know my ideals and I also know how I treat and see people. You know ****.
Have you personally witnessed any of this or are you just passing on hearsay?So you're pretending that the non-fascists are the threatening ones....Complete with their death threats to anyone who doesn't agree with their view of freedom..
"It is everywhere: swastikas in Armagh, Sheffield, Plymouth, Leicester, London and Glasgow; dog excrement through the letter box in Rugby; “F*** off to Poland” letters in Tunbridge Wells.

It is in hospitals: in Oxford, a city where more than 70 per cent voted remain, a Polish clinician was told to “f****** go back to where you belong". A nationwide poll for Network Locum, an online platform for GP locums, this week found that almost half (47 per cent) had noticed more racism after the Brexit vote.
It is in schools: the daughter of a Polish family told to “f*** off back to your country” by a classmate in Essex; a British Asian girl in Broadstairs, Kent, being asked “When are you going home?” by her fellow primary school pupils.
Out of the 500 incidents examined by The Independent, 47 - nearly ten per cent - featured children as either victims or witnesses to racism directed at their parents."

"At least 500 incidents in the last five weeks have included racist letters in Tunbridge Wells, swastikas from Plymouth to Glasgow, chants in London of ‘First we’ll get the Poles out, then the gays!’ and violence in Yeovil"
