“I’ve only ever been sexually assaulted by white males,” was Lily Allen’s reply to the English Defence League’s leader about the criminal intentions of migrants. Her anecdote is as meaningless as the EDL’s determination to find more criminality among non-whites than the rest of the population. Both sides are virtue-signalling like crazy - a habit increasingly ingrained in people who would never for a moment consider themselves to be racially motivated.
This whole argument is pointless because (in response to TWR) she could turn round and say 'well speak to females in Devon, Cornwall, Kent' etc etc
Sexual assaults are terrible crimes carried out by all colours and religions, anybody trying to score points on these crimes should be ashamed of themselves!
Before the thread goes any further it isn’t about sexual assault. The point is that many people aren’t genuinely objective. They’re quick to denigrate or defend particular sections of society without realising that their loyalty actually amounts to racism.

// PeterPedant, //the body of Nigh's text is completely unrelated to the qustion she asks // No it isn't.
oh tha is me told then
well - my answer to Am I racially motivated ? is ... no
and in the body of the text we find " meaningless as the EDL’s determination to find more criminality among non-whites than the rest of the population. Both sides are virtue-signalling like crazy " which I have to say is competely irrelevant to my answer .... ho hum just a view
andy-hughes/peter pedant, I’m not getting into arguments with either of you. You’ve answered the question. Thank you.
Islay, are you sure? I can’t recall you criticising immigrants or black people or foreigners whatever the circumstances. The fundamental issue here is that racism works more than one way but it often goes unrecognised.
Cloverjo, the point being made is that some people don't recognise themselves as racist, predominantly those who automatically defend or denigrate one section of the community in favour of another.
Naomi - //andy-hughes, //Obviously you don't know, otherwise there would be no point in asking the question would there? //
Why ask then? //
I asked you what you think - accepting that you don't know.
I think you are being deliberately evasive for your own reasons - I am sure you understand what I am saying, but if you want to verbally fence over it, let's not bother.
