“What is so very wrong with racism anyway?”
G.Curtis & Rosie.G I believe you are mixing racism with racialism.
Racism is discrimination based on no other reason than race and it’s wrong to discriminate without a damn good reason: I’d be quite happy to discriminate against paedophiles for example, but I see no good reason to discriminate against a person because of the colour of their skin (black, white, yellow…. it’s always wrong).
Racialism is believing their are differences between the races and in politics an emphasis towards one race: The BNP’s policies are aimed at protecting the “indigenous population”, the white people of Britain.
It can be argued there is no indigenous white population, (we are a mix) Britain is not like Australia with the Aborigines that are (or were) a very distinct race before white people took over. We’ve had black people living in Britain for over 2,000 years.
I digress…, so back to racialism.
An example of racialism might be a policy to bring into legislation a law requiring parents/guardians of white children to protect them from the harmful effects of the sun. White skinned people are at more of a risk of skin cancer from sun damage than black people (that’s a scientific fact BTW). This is not racism, it’s racialism protecting the needs of a particular race. Note: not a law I’d want, just an example.
I think you are talking about racialism and not racism per se. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
“Why does nobody ever say WHY it is so evil?”
Racism in it’s worst forms like the KKK hanging black people from trees is evil! Who would argue against that view?
When talking about “Stopping the Islamification of Britain” you are not talking about racism (or racialism), this is religious discrimination.
You don’t want the Muslim faith to become the dominant faith in Britain. You are afraid if we continue to allow Muslims to enter Britain they will slowly take over. Since being a Muslim isn’t restricted to race, it can’t be racism, but it is still discrimination, religious discrimination.
I suppose since the BNP don’t want the Muslim faith promoted in Britain that makes the BNP a religious discrimination party.
