GUEST,James H What is a traditional singer? (136* d) RE: What is a traditional singer? 16 Mar 09


Azizi - yes in the UK plenty of people talk about race & racism as regarding nationality rather than skin colour or ethnic group. I do myself - the logic being that prejudice and discrimination to do with where people come from or are perceived to have 'originally' come from are no different whether it is being aimed predominantly at skin colour or face shape or accent or name or whatever (in the UK in recent years some areas have had big influxes of Polish immigrants, and there have been some issues of abuse towards them that are every bit as racist as abuse towards, say, Pakistani or African immigrants).

And, English people are referred to as 'Poms' or 'Pommies' by Australians. I don't know why but I bet somebody better informed than me will come along and tell us in a little while...
