Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean you're not being followed though

Does having an Indian ex girlfriend, your best friend being of a different colour and ethnicity and being married to a Polish Jew make me, a bigot, xenophobe or racist?

None of which excuse making bigoted, xenophobic or racist remarks. If you think they should, then you're even more simple than I first thought

No.
Does having views to the left of yours make someone necessarily Spartist?

No, that comment wasn't aimed at all the people left side of centre.

[quote="cod'ead"]None of which excuse making bigoted, xenophobic or iour opinion, of which i value very little, you can't help yourself can you with your 'i think i'm right you're wrong so i'll insult you attitude', your attitude stinks.
You're obviously an intelligent person why not add 'mature' to your CV too?

If you think you're right and think you have the moral and intellectual high ground on any subject why do you feel the need to insult any and every poster who disagrees with you?

My example was a small example simply because i'm on my mobile, it takes forever to type out. I'm not a racist, i've never been a racist and to be labelled one is frankly very insulting, religion in my opinion is a silly superstition YET i've no issue with other people wasting their Friday/Saturday/Sunday praying to the magic man, it's their choice.

Frankly I couldn't give a toss what you think of my opinion. You was the one who first started bleating about being unfairly labeled a racist, xenophobe or bigot. I simply pointed out that I know of no one on this forum who has been labeled a racist, xenophobe or bigot by not posting comments that could be construed as racist, xenophobic or bigoted.

Now if you'd care to return to discussing the thread, instead of whining about some ill-conceived victimisation, I'm sure everyone else would appreciate it

Here's a little tip: if you don't make racist, xenophobic or bigoted remarks, you tend not to get labeled as such.

What a load of rubbish - on here virtually anyone who suggets non white British people are less than totally honest is accused by the likes of you being a racist - even if the facts support the post.

Perhaps you need to get off your high horse and out of your Gieves & Hawkes and understand you are not the arbitor of opinion. No one bleats more than you if anyone has the temerity to expose the weaknesses in your arguments.

Like Mintball you are protected and can post with impunity - "More equal than most" odd on board run by supposed socialists!!

If you have a legitimate complaint about moderation, you know the procedure.

Meanwhile, defending yourself against accusations of racism via a racist generalisation is just dumb. And sailing very close to the AUP.

Whoah, I reckon you don't actually mean that.

The way it reads is that it's OK to say that non-white are less than honest, which is an over-simplification and over-extrapolation that could very easily be racist.
