OK Jim - You say that you have not said that the people of various cities are racist. Yet you happily repeat the statement that Britain is a deeply racist country Well, sorry, but you can't have it both ways. The country is made up of cities. Those cities are made up of people. Neither the buildings nor their underlying geology can possibly be racist so what do you mean by Britain is a deeply racist country? For the whole nation to be deeply racist the people therein must also be.

BTW - You mixed my words with someone elses when you tried to refute that you were calling the people of Britain racist. I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you did it by accident rather than design. Either way it was a very poor attempt to discredit what I was saying.

I ask the same question but rephrase it. What is the difference between Britain is a deeply racist country and saying that the people of Britain are deeply racist? Are you happy to conclude that the whole nation has this peculiar character flaw? If not - Then please stop saying it.
