Dave - Racism against the majority damn well does exist! You're starting to sound like my Sociology degree ex-colleague! Admittedly, most of the majority may not notice it most of the time, but there are still minorities judging majorities on the basis of race/skin colour. This is racism, just as much as the other way round. In some cases, violently & fatally so.

Also, whilst you're complaining that "the more people that begin to believe it is a 'major problem' the more support they get", this is true of both sides of the coin. I firmly believe that people that go looking for -isms find them. Racism, sexism, Nazism, whatever-ism, you go looking for it, you'll find it. All too often where it doesn't exist, which is one of the major reasons why the BNP make such utter idiots of themselves. Mountains out of molehills & all that... You are making the BNP sound like a 'major' problem'. Support for them is not widespread. I'm not suggesting that they should not be countered, but, equally, vehemence also draws attention to them!

Racism is always a major (i.e. important) problem. The question that needs to be answered is how widespread it is. My personal opinion is that there are a damn sight too many people (both left & right whinge... I mean, wingers!) who are too sensitive about it. But where it can be genuinely identified, it needs to be dealt with. How, I do not know!
