The disgusting racism in the Immigration thread

Just think about your postings for a second…you have been on and on trying to label people racists based off the misuse of words. Think about that. It's just very strange. And you don't want to even discuss, back down, meet half way. It's your're a racist, end of.

No I haven't. I've labelled you a racist, because you use racist terminology to refer to people of different races. Even after it was explained to you, you refused to correct yourself and continue to do so. This makes you racist….not just in my book, but in your own. You think you're racist yourself, going by your definition of the word.

and why would I back down and agree with you, that would be just giving in to the demands of a racist.

Accusing posters of saying black people are coloured when they did not

They fcuking did, remember?…….."the lack of coloured newsreaders"

accusing me of saying it's okay to call a brown person coloured, when I did not.

Yes you fcuking did, remember?….."Now, non black and non white (aka brown) people. To refer to this group as coloured….do I think it is wrong? Not really."

Then trying to say misusing the people of colour vs Colored people is no different than soeone shouting the N word at a group of black people.

Nope, that's not what happened. I'm not gonna keep repeating myself, everyone reading the thread can see what I said and what you've said. You are blue in the face refusing to acknowledge the points being put to you and avoiding all the uncomfortable questions, and now you have to resort to countering arguments that I'm not even making. Mischaracterising someone's point because you cannot argue against it is just bottom of the barrel stuff. This is a desperate attempt to salvage any sense of dignity from the thread after you outed yourself as a racist by saying it's okay to call non-white people coloured.

It's clear you don't want a reasoned and civil debate, and that it's way more about trying to trip up so you can throw this racist card at me/others.

I'd love a reasoned and civil debate. Can you point me in the direction of someone, please, who is capable of holding one?

This is a stinking pile of self-contradictory BS.

If it's not wrong, then it's right. These are the only two options. It is not right to call brown people coloured. In any context.

That's it, end of story. You can pretend otherwise, but just be aware that everyone else can see this is just a sad attempt at pretending you're not racist after you said it is right to call brown people coloured. The mask slipped. Own it. Or don't…….like I give a fcuk about some random racist on boards.

But you have spent page after page wanting to throw the you're a racist card about, and now you don't give a fcuk?

Its simple, and clear now: Your tolerance for these debates about immigration and ethnicities and all that is ridiculously low, and as soon as anything is said that looks/feels or is racist, forget debate and context and all that…straight to your card!

I'm out….

I'm not debating anything about ethnicities or immigration or anything of the sort. You know this. You are deliberately trying to mischaracterise my argument because you cannot counter my actual argument. Calling anyone coloured, when you know what that means, is racist. You can defend anyone all you want, that doens't make you any less racist for using a racist word in a racist context.

You've been 'out' for ages. You outed yourself, remember, Mr "I don't think it's wrong to call brown people coloured".

In your opinion.

That's all this is. An opinion.

If you consider it racist, that's your perogative. Others however will look at the context and intent as I referred to.

No, not in my opinion. Calling someone who is not white "coloured" is racist. That is a fact, not an opinion.

However, the world is rarely as black and white (no pun intended!) as you suggest. If you see racism everywhere then that's what you'll see and be triggered by. Not, I'd suggest, a healthy way to live.

I'm a) not triggered, and b) not seeing racism everywhere. I do see it here, however, when a poster calls anyone who's not white 'coloured' and I also see it when wlashy over here stands up on his soapbox and shouts "it's not wrong to call brown people coloured".

That's not seeing it everywhere. That's calling it out where it exists.

Either way it doesn't need page after page belabouring the point.

Stop replying to me then. I've made my point and spent the rest of the day defending it from someone who was deliberately misconstruing it to mean something else because they couldn't counter the real point.

No I don't. This is you, for the 5th time, pretending that I'm some hair-trigger super-woke lefty who calls everyone (and everything) a racist.

I don't.

I'm calling you a racist because you expressed a racist ideology.

You're getting the hump because you were called out on it. You even tried to pretend that's not really what you meant a lil while ago, but seem to have abandoned that now.

Now you're pretending that I'm simply being unreasonable, after I took umbrage at you making an overtly and deliberately racist statement.

Again, this is you attacking the poster, not the post, because you can't attack the post.

Your race is run, you've been found out, now you're taking your ball home with you and claiming victory after I wiped the floor with your racist bollocksology and failure to even conduct yourself properly in a reasoned debate. You go ahead and leg it with your tail between your legs and leave the the other stuff to the grown ups, there's a good lad.

And again: you accused me of having no tolerance in the debate about immigration. Not once have I said anything about immigration. I told you this and you've abandoned the immigration point and jumped straight to 'you see racists everywhere', which is equally untrue. You're throwing piles of sh1t at the wall and hoping that something will stick. It's like debating with a child.

The only one found out is you, on page after page with your "you're a racist" card. It's on you, this. Not me.

Most sensible and level-headed folks can spot it a mile away, your views and your wanting to throw the racist card any opportunity you get. You just have to look at how it started: Jumping on a poster to claim racism completely incorrectly. It's like you couldn't help yourself, and then signing off your above post so patronizingly.

Ah here….leave irr out!

No doubt I’ll be labelled a racist but when did it become racist to describe a non white person as coloured? What is the correct term?

Well, that's the absolute absurdity of some people. Throwing around the racist card for these incredibly benign utterings. A poster on here labeling me a racist because I said I didn't think the term coloured person/people was wrong. They want to see racism everywhere and want to call people racists at the drop of a hat.

Apparently the correct term is the oh so different…..Person of colour!!! As if it's some sort of mathematical proof and that only this term can work..and any deviation is you being a racist!!! That's the mentality on display.

in an absolute nutshell.
