I think we need a new term for racists 08:26 - Jun 8 with 2078 views | Bluefish | I think we've reached a stage where racism doesn't seem to carry the same scorn in society. I do blame brexit for this largely but it is carrying on. People say massively racist things and it is called out but then life just carries on, getting called out as a racist should make someone a pariah in society. It is should be akin to being labelled a paedo, they are people that just don't deserve a place. Perhaps we should just refer to that all as sub human scum instead of a racist?

That works. We could trial on here and then go for a national rollout |  |

This implies there is a lack of education available to people. |  |

You have just confirmed my strong suspicion. Deriding and abusing other human beings simply because they support a different football team is not smart. |  |

I think we need a new term for racists on 09:50 - Jun 8 with 1847 views | nodge_blue | I think there’s a chunk of people who need educating rather than totally ostracising. That causes more division in the short to medium term. My next door neighbour who is a black woman said to me the other day she really doesn’t like all the illegal immigration across the channel and how they need turning back. It made me think that sometimes people’s fears go beyond the colours of people’s skins. [Post edited 8 Jun 2021 9:51]

people can have different views about immigration policy without being racist. |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

If your view is I would rather send those desperate foreigners back to danger because I don't want them anywhere in my country........then you are very likely a racist |  |

I’m looking forward to schools teaching ‘How not to be racist scum’ as part of the curriculum. |  | |  |

That’s my point really. And people can say some things out of unjustified fears rather than deep seated racism. That’s why education and moving society forward collectively is so important I think. |  |

Not sure I agree on this Blubbers. If one wanted a white Syrian Moslem to not enter the country as they declare a dedication to Jihad and the killing of Jews and homosexuals, does that make one a racist? |  |

Bit of context? Not sure a single person that talks about blowing the boats up or sending them home has ever qualified the passengers to that depth |  |

If someone declared a dedication to Jihad and the killing of Jews and homosexuals, my next action wouldn't be to say okay, let's move on to the demographic part of the questionnaire, so I can work out what to do next. |  | |  |

All racists now vote Tory? Really? There's not one member of one other party who's racist, and not one standard punter who chooses to vote for another party who's racist? You may very well not like the Tory party but denying that there are problems in other parties is no way to start the long road back to deposing them from power... |  | |  |

That could be racism couldn't it? I think the definition covers racial and ethnic groups. But then an obviously known threat shouldn't come in and (you would hope) would be picked up by security services in their application. |  |
