And then racists start to call other people "racists".
Varying levels of political correctness have blurred the lines too and probably pushed some people towards what would be considered racist.
I would say racism is more prevalent and indeed vicious in many other parts of the world than it is in the UK.
On a global scale we're not bad, but at the same time shouldn't be complacent.
Multi cultural society has improved Britain and the west end of Newcastle is a great example.
Anyway this thread is getting a lot broader than it was probably intended originally, but I'm happy to say again I haven't heard any racist abuse inside SJP for years if not decades.
Im not entirely sure what it has achieved bar generate social tension. I would hardly call it a success.
