It's you (and Castro) who are conflating things - conflating culture with religion. Is England's culture defined by the Church of England? Of course it isn't.

I've lived in Saudi Arabia. It's ****ing horrible. But to say it is a country that doesn't embrace other cultures is nonsense.

Give some examples of multiculturism in Saudi Arabia? Can we embrace other cultures but ban Islam as they ban other religions?
 
why has this thread gone from race intergration into religion?
all them lads are British and one would expect them to be C of E.
 
I'm British and I'm a Yorkshireman; that's more important than C of E <cheers>

atm Im Texas first, then america... but when Im at home, Im James Reckitt Ave, then East Hull, then Hull, then East Yorks then the rest can go **** themselves.
 
I'm a Red Dwarf fan. Love it. One of the best TV shows of all time. Makes me laugh and I love the sci-fi element too of course. From the age of 10 I loved it. T'is a brill comedy. Nothing more, nothing less.

On the series 4 DVD is a documentary, Built to Last, it referred to the lack of racism in Red Dwarf.

Craig Charles saying "It's a top rated show, where two of the main cast are...of colour...and it's never mentioned in the show."

Looking online I saw posts which equated to Red Dwarf fans patting each other on the back because their show had two black guys and two white guys as the four main players, and race never came into it.

This really pissed me off. I'd never even thought of race when it came to Red Dwarf. It's a bloody funny show that I love and that's all. But the 'positive' brigade made me think about race and I hated / hate that.

I guess my point is that racism will always be there whilst someone brings it up.

Those photos in the article prove nothing. Just hacks seeing something they want to. To make a story.

I never think about racism, but for some reason it seems to invade my life by those who are against it. Not for me thanks. Bugger off.

'In the future, aboard Red Dwarf, there's no racism. Brill, let's discuss that....'

Ffs.
