    Considering the quasi-religious staging of Nazi rallies, the Orange Overlord probably thinks that Hitler was the Pope...and you're fired if you dare suggest otherwise

    Heavens knows what will happen if Americans let him in again.

    I still have no clue who allowed him to become President after Hillary won the popular vote. Definitely a band of crooks.

    I hate that term 'non-white', it's the most racist term I've ever heard to describe a black person. It makes it sound like there is something wrong with them.

    In Trump’s eyes, anyone ‘non-white’ does have something wrong with them

    Sadiq Khan isn't black, he's of Pakistani descent

    That's the issue: while there are clearly established terms for some racial backgrounds, there really isn't one for anyone east of Afghanistan so we either have the word Asian which applies equally to people born in Indian and China in spite of their having clearly different backgrounds while also confusing discussions on race between people on different sides of the Atlantic as "Asian" is used to describe people from India/Pakistan/Sri Lanka/Bangladesh in this country, but China/Japan/Korea in the US

    I remember about a decade ago people tried making the term "South Asian" a thing, but that was deeply flawed due to Malaysia, Indonesia and a chunk of the Philippines being further south than Sri Lanka, let alone any part of India, Pakistan or Bangladesh

    A bloke on lots of amphetamines leading a bunch of fascists, then one in charge of an organisation heavily involved in child molestation?
    Sounds about right.

    The ARSes are white race haters pure and simple, mainly driven by a
    combo of hating their home nation + what I call 'gobsh*te privilege' (TM) .

    Why is it necessary to define people in this way?
    It's fundamentally flawed in so many ways.
    People from all around the world have always emigrated.
    So geographical location and ethnicity are never going to be compatible.
    What does anyone understand by the term "African"? Black West Africans? East Africans of Asian descent? Arabs? White South Africans of British, Dutch or German origin? People of African descent such as black Jamaicans? In fact, there are 100s of different ethnic groups, many of whom are not defined by where they live.
    The U.S.A. is a nation of immigrants. As much as Trump likes to speak of "Americans" as an indivisible group, many Americans still define themselves by reference to their descendants - "Italian American", "Hispanic" etc.
    I wish we didn't need to pigeonhole people.

    of cultural/political attack) . :)

    Trump's family came from Bavaria.Grandad Trump did not want to serve in the Bavarian army so he left for America until things died down.Then returned but was kicked out by Bavaria and then back to America where he ran brothels. Dad Trump was a nasty businessman by reports who handed his little tosser Donald 400 million which tosser blew.

    Why is it necessary to say that somebody is of Pakistani descent and not black descent?

    Errm, because he is? And because it prevents confusion? And that it adds context to why people use the term "Londonistan" yet claim their hatred of Khan definitely is not founded on them being a bunch of racist ****s?

    Trump getting the shakes as "the Mueller report" gets closer. He seems to have justice in his back pocket like Capone. Maybe,like Capone,he will get locked up for tax evasion.....oh! He's got them in his back pocket too!!!!

    Tories scoring in quick succession.

    In mine: Labour 1 Tories 3

    And that's before taking into account the days when parties won majorities at an election...

    Is he relying on the Irish party to give him a bigger majority because it looks like another election is inevitable...….?
