Playing the Race Card
Allegations of racial insults are being made with increasing frequency, although without doubt as a whole the British nation has become less racially prejudiced with each year that passes. It is difficult to understand why racial insults are becoming more prevalent. Each year more of us find that more of our acquaintances and relatives by marriage are of a different race than our own race, and each year we have a less focused understanding of what race we belong to. It seems therefore that the racism is more about colour than race.
Perhaps people take umbrage too easily. It is particularly ironic that a premiership football referee is accused of swearing at a player and also of racially abusing two players. Referees of professional football matches have to put up with abuse, swearing and insults every match they play. A glance at the chat rooms shows that the abuse is not limited to matches, but also fills the internet. Referees have to be very thick skinned, and perhaps we should all be thicker skinned about racial insults.
I do not suggest that racial insults should be encouraged or tolerated but we should bear in mind that they speak volumes about the person making them, rather than the object of the insults.

Do you know which nation is the most racist nation on the face of this earth and yet this same race controlls all our media and screams racist at white Anglo-Saxons and Celts at the minutest ‘racist’ incident?
There is only one form of racism in Britain today and I’ll leave you to work that out.
