I am no racist and have never made a racist post. It is disgusting that you should accuse someone of "extremely vicious racism" without any justification. It is not even relevant to this thread. It is just a gratuitous and nasty personal attack.
The suggestion you quote came from eminent, respected people including famously anti-racists from within the Pakistani community. It is simply ludicrous to suggest a writer of the stature of Jasmin Allibhai-Brown is guilty of racist views against her own people, or that I am racist for reporting her views. Likewise Lord Ahmed who has worked all his life on behalf of the poorest members of the Pakistani community. Likewise Mohammed Saffiq who is a tireless campaigner for that community.
