Everyone does indeed have their prejudices.

Some have insight and others are completely non self aware.

People can say insensitive, cruel or just plain stupid things about others for whatever reason.

People have freedom of speech and that is how it should be.

The problem arises when somebody encourages others to scapegoat and blame groups based on their ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion etc.

This is deliberate and conscious fostering resentment and creates divisions tensions and fear.

This isn't about calling people names and hurting their feelings.

This particular thread is a direct continuation of the "criminality in Britain" thread which was posted with the thinly veiled purpose of stoking up resentment against foreigners in general.

History tells us that this kind of button pushing leads to violent discrimination and victimisation.

The PC debate is a facile distraction.
