I'm suggesting something different, which is that white racism is still sadly so powerful (and so invisible in many ways), that to suggest that white people are victims of anti-white racism is frankly (a) a little silly and (b) ignores the practical current reality of the dreadful and ongoing impact of white racism on people of colour.
Have you ever thought that it is you who needs to update your ideas about racism?
So how many black / ethnic freinds do you have than ??
Yes, absolutely I have, and I continue to humbly inquire into the whole area, and invite you to join in me in the ongoing exploration...
I'm quite happy with where I am with it, thanks.

are you sure asking someone where they are from is racism ? I'm not
very disappointed in the royals for throwing the 84 year old woman under the bus, how unloyal of them!
I guess they are very much on the back foot with the personification of evil and the simpleton about to stick the knife in and give it a twist.
Maybe they're not lucky enough to have diversiddy, like what we got.

On this occasion I think I'd have to agree with you that maybe she was over-egging the pudding. This after all, is a woman who supposedly heads up a charity dealing with women who have been in abusive relationships and often subjected to prolonged physical violence and psychologically traumatising behaviour (or have I got that wrong?) With the greatest of respect her language in describing this incident was stuffed with superlatives, like some cheap, sensationalist red top headline and seemingly almost weaponised for some reason. I'm not saying that what happened was right, it most certainly wasn't, but come on, Violated? Abused? Traumatised? Shocked and profoundly disappointed, enraged, angered, yes.

Or you could just be born a Muslim but brought up in a Hindu part of India, or born a Catholic and brought up in a Protestant area of Belfast, or born in England an brought up in Scotland. Bigotry and intolerance aren't confined to racial groups, but can be overcome if people learn to set aside their differences and talk to each other. We are often more alike than we are different
