    See now that post isn't racist it's just insulting. This is because it is aimed at only one person, doesn't insult him based on his ethnicity, race or country of origin. It is obliquely derogatory to Watford, but since Watford is his 'name/online handle' then in context this is just an unpleasant insult, not a racist comment.

    You see the difference?

    I dont think you understand the difference between a race and a religion. It's a bit like you don't understand whether we are in the EU or out of it. But you do know you dont have any money so it's not all bad.

    Another bone head enters the fray.

    So you can't be accused of a race hate crime if you aim your hostility towards a religion as opposed to a specific race?

    Umm I understand both thank you. I firstly understand that we are still in the EU and haven't triggered Article 50 yet, but the very threat of it and the effect of the referendum has caused a negative impact on the economy and the value of the pound - as has been widely reported.

    I also understand the difference between race and religion but as some on here don't appear to and believe Muslims all come from the same country, and thus are using Indirect Racism based on the perceived country of origin of an entire religion. It is no less incorrect to say it is racism just because the act (just like racism) is illogical and unfounded.

    As you may have seen, there has been many reports of British Muslims being told to 'Go Home' or being racially attacked for their perceived country of origin. Even though they are British!

    Shame you didn't read all of the piece.

    However, it said that while wages might rise by £150 if net migration was cut to the tens of thousands following Brexit, the extra earnings could be cancelled out by some of the other effects of leaving the European Union.

    Result

    So what you are saying is that 'you can make certain derogatory statements about a whole race, or about a single persons ethnicity, but it is up to you to decide if it is a meaningless, petty insult or actual racist abuse' - regardless of any tangible evidence or logic, or the harm it may cause to the other person?

    I guess we'd better rewrite the Equality Act and the associated laws within it to comply with ArmChairBlue's judgements on whether something is 'meaningless, petty, insults' or not...

    According to the Mail (that nice paper who supported actual Nazis in the 30s), I am a subversive Trotsky (even though I was only born in the 80s!), a champagne socialist, a layabout socialist, and a Nazi Stormtrooper!!!!

    You don't have to be PC to condemn racist language.
