"Now whether she is correct or not in her opinion isn't what I'm interested in, what I'm questioning is whether or not she could express such an opinion in an environment such as this for example (ie: in a predominantly left-wing context), without being abused for being a racist."

The important thing is to be sure what evidence she has provided.

Her opinions on the subject of the collective culture of Pakistanis is all very interesting, but it is not evidence, it is just her opinion.

This is because 1. Her experience of British Pakistanis is limited to organized criminals and 2. because she isn't a psychologist and is therefore simply unequipped to make such diagnoses.

The actual evidence of her allegations is her statement of what she experienced.

If she were to develop a fear or loathing of Pakistanis onthe basis of her experiences, I would not call her racist as I would understand that shhe would find it hard to dissociate her particular abusers race from the traumas she endured.

When someone like keith comes along however, and puts words in her mouth, and invents imaginary bullshit that she never said, in order to bolster his racist hypothesis, which he has been fighting for despite a total lack of any actual evidence, then that is where we see actual cold ideological racism rearing its ugly head.

He does not have an excuse, he merely has an unsupportable racist hypothesis.
