Subject: RE: BS: Homs horror
"-- for you, it seems that racism is only racist when applied to Jews, but not to Muslims - which makes your attitude...."
On the ocassion I referred to IT WAS APPPLIED ONLY TO JEWS - You having already stated that a similar remark aimed at Pakistanis by Keith was "not racist".
My comments were neither inaccurate, spiteful nor defamatory - they were exactly how you responded to my question.
"I extensively quoted all of those."
None of your 'examples' came anywhere near implicating "all Male Pakistanis"
Had they done so publicly they would have been breaking the law and would have been removed from the political arena as was Enoch Powell when anti-racist laws were far less stringent than they are today -such staements,made publicly - are against the law and lay the culprits open to prosecution . Any vague reference to culture was based on small numbers in isolated areas - you indicted the whole culture.
You failed to produce a single quote when repeatedly requested to do so, and I have no doubt whatever that you will not do so now - I could be wrong, of course - feel free!!
And - as I have pointed out on numerous occasions, it doesn't matter who made the statement (on this occasion, you alone) to stereotype a whole culture in such a way is racist, whoever does it; to proclaim it as your belief is to expose yourself as a racist, which is what all this is about.
