Subject: RE: The Weekly Walkabout (part 2.)
We have Scottish nationalists. We have Quebecois nationalists. We have Basque nationalists.   Why then should we not have English nationalists? ;-) Do the English not rate as having a unique culture because they have been too successful at conquering others in the last millenium? How does it equate to being "racist"? Racism is the hatred of a specific racial type regardless of culture, not the exclusive promotion or defence of a local or national culture.

I am reminded of a parrot and a minah bird squawking at one another from separate cages...

"You're a racist! Squawk!"

"Liar! You're the racist! Squack!"

"Shut up, you feathered racist! Squawk!"

"Pipe down, you avian racist! Squawk!"

Ad infinitum......
