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

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?

In all fairness... she's never experienced racism....so it will never exist for her... acknowledging it will mean having to face her own prejudices... can't have that now can we...pic.twitter.com/loFmN7dXfK

I don't mistake racism for stupidity. In your case you're just ignorant, arrogant and stupid.

You seem nice though.

Nah he’s a bigot.

What “effect on public services”? You mean funding them (most new migrants are working-age taxpayers)? Or staffing them (large numbers in health and social care)? Certainly not using them (demand is lower amongst migrants, except maybe schools). But they're just facts.

I should add that we have probably the best, pro rata, University system in the world. One in five, yes 1-in-5, of our academics are from EU27 countries and make a HUGE contribution to that success. Something you and your Brexit buddies are putting in jeopardy.

Exactly my point and i discussed this with my black partner last week who is a nurse and sees the effects good and bad of immigration from staffing to patients.

Can't recall you once talking about public services. Also you're a tory so even if you have, it's fake.
