Of COURSE everything people are saying about racism, BNP etc is true ( DMR, as I thought everyone knew, is a satirist). REPEAT, thid threas is about a person and how her frinds could best react.
Lox, your parallel allusion above just doesn't compare like with like. Of course confront, at every opportunity, off course, interrupt racism, at every opportunity,of course, allow peope doing or saying racist things to know that you are uncomfortable. DONT ever collude by being silent. BUT.... NEVER give those who feel that they are dispossed, betrayed or unvalued to deepen their anomie by treating them as other than valuable human beings.
