Discrimination against people based on race/ethnicity = racism.
Recognising difference between people and appreciating it = not racism.
Happy to clear that up for you Julia

LOL. Just because you keep repeating something does not make it true. People like you don't see colour until you start talking about immigration.
-
“People like you”. Interesting. Why not just say “you’re racist” and be honest? I couldn’t care less what skin colour immigrants have. I’m concerned about the scale of immigration and effect on public services and social cohesion.
-
you might not care what skin colour people have, but plenty others do, and almost every footballer has faced racism. What you're trying to do is deny their experiences and the prejudice they faced.
-
No, I’m not. And you know I’m not. Constantly talking about people’s skin colour when it’s totally irrelevant doesn’t help tackle racism.
-
Oh you definitely are. 1) I was writing in context of racism sports stars face & 2) In context of embracing identities (Britishness/Englishness) that were long assumed just for whites. That you're too ignorant & arrogant to even understand this speaks volumes about you.
-
I’m sure that piece was very relevant 20 years ago. Well done. X

Yeah you're right, there is no racism in England nor anyone left who thinks English = white. Its all a figment of my imagination. And since you're an authority on this, why should the rest of us even bother?

Mentioning someone's race whilst discussing another facet of their job/life is a 'form of racism'? Can you give an example of a positive comment about a black person that includes the word 'black' that isn't, by this logic, racist?
