Thread Name: English Folk Degree?
Subject: RE: English Folk Degree?
I went out three hours ago, just after posting my question at 01:31 above. Ten more comments from WAV, but no reply. Quelle surprise.

you are trying to equate questioning immigration with racism, which most adults now know is NOT the case

This is starting to get annoying. Of course it's the case - how could it not be?

I'll rephrase that. The only way that "questioning immigration" would not equal "racism" would be if immigration were being questioned on grounds completely unrelated to 'race' and the concepts that cluster round it - nationality, ethnicity, culture, religion, etc. We could, for example, question whether anyone should be allowed to enter the country, and never mind where they worship or who their parents are.

But this obviously isn't the kind of "questioning" WAV has in mind. The man's a racist.
