Subject: RE: BS: BNP select 'ethnic' row. From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 08 Apr 06 - 02:24 PM Strictly speaking "totally assimilated Greek-Armenian" implies a mixed sort of background, which should rule out "ethnic" as a desciption - unlike the case of a white racist of 100 per cent ethnic English descent. |

Subject: BS: BNP select 'ethnic' row. From: The Shambles Date: 08 Apr 06 - 02:13 PM Sharif Abdel Gawad, whom the BNP describes as a "totally assimilated Greek-Armenian", was chosen to stand in a Bradford ward as part of the party's biggest ever electoral push. The decision has provoked a backlash among BNP hardliners who described Mr Gawad as an "ethnic" who should be barred from the party on race grounds. One regional organiser responsible for the candidate's selection is thought to be under pressure to resign. Another regional organiser is leading the dissent against the party leadership, saying it had betrayed the members and would confuse voters. http://politics.guardian.co.uk/otherparties/story/0,,1749556,00.html Looks like you are only British - if you look like it. |
