BF2S Forums Race relations thread

britain is one of the most inclusive and race-unconcerned places in europe. france are obsessed with a national monoculture and official 'high' identity. germany, well, let's not go there. scandinavia are all pure and very family/community oriented, and very intolerant of outsiders. italy hates immigrants. spain is barely ever not under some sort of right-wing totalitarian sway. britain, especially considering it is an island people, and hence always historically suspicious of people coming from without, is hugely diverse and tolerant. multiculturalism is far from a perfect project, and 'integration' is sometimes a bit of a fabled-utopian dream, but on the whole, the race you are in britain determines very little.

the existence of the BNP says nothing. the tea party are basically just the BNP's social beliefs in a different ideological banner. the BNP represent a current that you find in every mass democracy: disenfranchised working-class people who no longer have jobs/economic sustenance/a social place. xenophobia is rife across all societies in these groups of former-industrial workers. it's a form of social conservatism in the face of globalised powers that are the cause of their poverty. this is not 'british'. the BNP are not a political power  here. the party has crumbled and collapsed, after a once-in-a-century rise to prominence in all of about 3 seats. lol. a hilarious misrepresentation by macbeth there.

frankly i'm glad we have parties like the BNP and UKIP. not because i sympathize with them, but because it shows our democracy is more than a 2-party same-flavor bullshit system. if disenfranchised workers and angry xenophobes want to get together and try to form a political credo, more power to them. that's democracy. they'll never win shit, but it's a more healthier stake in society than moving to montana and stockpiling M16's. you fucktard.

Race relations are great there. Uzique hasn't been knocking down Roc with racial abuse for the past week at all. That isn't racism. It is just joking. Americans are the real racist.

where have i looked down upon roc once for his racial status? and how are african americans 'former colonials' of britain? or are you suggesting i harbour racial feelings from the 18th century? lol make fucking sense. stop taking acid.

and fuck you, you ignorant never-left-america cunt. there is no racist ideology against 'former colonials' in britain. wipe that smug grin off your shit-eating face. it's hilarious the arrogance you display because of the shitty rutgers reading list you've ingested along with that LSD. your knowledge is pathetic. you get corrected over latin america, so now you're trying to 'prove' that the UK is more racist than america. lol how inane.

You have been going on about his race for awhile now. It is the first insult you have for him. Don't tell me that isn't racist. That sort of blatant racism is a big no no over here. Over there it must be business as usual since you seem to be so comfortable with it.

I believe he called Barrack Obama a 'house negro' the other day. I about shit my pants when I saw that.

It's just a phrase though, being used ironically. It's not like anyone has been arguing that black are genetically incapable of being as intelligent as white people... oh wait.

And Macbeth, dude, your home island is one of the most racist places on the planet. The upper class people on that island still marry for skin color before all else in order to be more white.

That isn't nearly the same as throwing bananas at people or yelling insults on trains. A racial preference for dating is something that is all over the world. Puerto Ricans don't imprison and abuse each other over how light or dark they are. Come on.

You didn't correct me on Latin America. You are just trying to argue down a Latin American on Latin American race relations since it was mentioned in a vice article you read. You are the one being ignorant here.

Last night, the 35-year-old Reds player, who scored a try in Australia's victory over the All Blacks, issued a statement via Qantas defending his fans, and saying he saw no issue with their choice of attire.
"I don't know what all the fuss is about," Samo said.
"These guys were actually paying me a tribute. It was a bit of fun and I think it was great they regard me as their favourite Wallaby.
"I didn't have an issue with it at all. I was glad to be in a photo with them, so I don't know why anyone is getting worked up - that sort of reaction is just silly."
