Didn't it all get out of hand though. No longer could we call a blackboard a blackboard etc etc.
The problem with this country is that it lies down too easily, and in turn creates problems for it's self. Allowing Mosques etc is rather strange, when in a Muslim country, you can be put to death for preaching Cristianity.
I'm right behind people who want to prevent racism, but there are many out there who are crying wolf all too often. The biggest issue for me is a lack of education leading to false presumptions about other races, though certain cultures just haven't moved into the 21st century, and that can be a little intimidating for many.

That may be true in some Muslim countries but certainly not all of them. Just because some countries have a fundamentalist regime Doesn't mean we should. I believe in freedom of expression. Be it political, religious or whatever ideas. I strongly disagree with a lot of what is posted on this forum at times. But I would stop posting if those ideas were not allowed. I don't think it's strange that Britain is civilized enough to allow it's ethnic minorities spaces to practise their own religion. I find it strange that (as you point out) in the 21st century, more countries are not civilized enough to allow that (minimum) freedom
 
Moved all that garbage to prevent the thread being spoilt.

Apologies for the delay and thanks for all the reports (9x) and PM's. You all make this forum easy to moderate in that respect.

There's a big difference between you expressing your views on this subject and blatant racist posts by someone like scottsblue.

Sure, but it seems to invoke similar emotions.

It's like if you say that we shouldn't allow more illegal immigrants into the country until we solve the problems already here. To some that is being racist. To others it's being logical and thinking of the people who have already lived in this nation for generations.

The lines may seem blurred to some, and the reason certain views are not expressed in the media is because of the very reaction I get sometimes on here.

But we are getting way off topic.

So Dixie was the first player of African origin? Can anyone collaborate that?

scottsblue could have helped us out here with his scientific approach to genetics.
 
Well I dont wish to pour scourn on Dixies Mum, but it could be that the chap that registered as his father wasnt his father. As Davey boy said, his Mum could have hopped in the sack with some sailor.

I guess we will never know, but I for 1, dont care if he was black, white or green.
