Is that an example of the 'drivel' people are posting Roy?

[CoolBritannia]

Is it not a fair point Mr AH?

Can you answer the query?

CB, it was in my post, informally ... "interacting with people differently based entirely on the colour of their skin... I mean, how else do you define racism?"

If you want a formal, short definition, try this one from Oxford languages, as provided by Google when you ask it to define racism: prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

For more detail, try the Wiki entry: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism

[CoolBritannia]

Yes, we all get that, so how does this situation amount to racism as per the Oxford languages definition of racism?

[Ellipsis]

Antagonism by an institution against a person on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group ... that is what happened here.

For more detail, go back to page one and start reading.

Or take it from the Palace.

Or from the actions of Lady Susan.

So racism yes or no?

CoolBritannia - // So racism yes or no? //

I say yes it is.

Unintended, but as I have argued at length, that is not an excuse.

We have a new flip-flop champion...step down Liz Truss

[andy-hughes]

Goodnight roy.

[royfromaus]

If you have changed your mind, andy, why not just say so?

Or is it a case of forgetting what you typed earlier?

[Mozz71]

Without wanting to go through the entire thread (my masochistic tendencies are not that strong), can't someone be unintentionally racist? Say something racially inappropriate without meaning it to be offensive? Surely that's what this is.

[royfromaus]

This wasn't malicious racism, Mozz, it was nice polite misunderstood racism.

nearly there!!

Of course Roy, now an apology has been made, and more importantly, accepted, everyone can move on with their lives and there is nothing further to discuss on this thread.
