dbc, dbc, dbc.............you aren't a good learner are you.

"There is no scientific evidence of there being any different human races quite the reverse."........we agree on something.

"This does not mean that that racism does not exist unless you are monumentally stupid."..........Then you went and spoiled it by making another stupid, but hypercritical statement.

"Because some people believe that people who have different skin colours, religions or nationality are a different race and then they act on this belief.".....exactly, acting on what they want to believe to try and gain the upperhand, some form of benefit or are attention seeking...........the only reason they do it.........as you wrote it, they believe in fantasy, something they like to make up.

"So strangely if you were a Jew in a concentration camp or black in apartheid South Africa and pointed out that there was no scientific difference between you it failed to have any effect on the people carrying out their racist actions.".........Scientifically, there is only one human race"......you said that.

I forgot one,

You said "race doesn't exist, racism does".............if race doesn't exist, how can racism exist?

I believe the correct words you're looking for are "ethnic slurs".

Let's try it one more time for the dumb racist ****s at the back;

Race is a social construct not a scientific fact.

Therefore racism can and does exist.

Even though there is no scientific basis for there being different races in humans, if people believe there is a difference in race and then treat people differently based on that perceived difference, then racism occurs.

Although I have no room to talk, when I get into a bust up, and this is controversial, I would say expressing hate against any ism, or person different to yourself, is a form of racism, just a thought, not like you to get this worked up dbc.

I'm not sure if that's a sarcastic comment with regards to myself but as you know I'm happy to argue/debate for days and will take all the commie, bicycle-riding, libtard snowflake, remoaner comments that get thrown in my direction. And although there's a fair bit of casual racism I see on here that personally I object to, some of it it does at least occur with a (dated) sense of humour and I think reflects maybe a dated outlook of what's acceptable rather than any actual genuine hatred.

But total actual racists I think are actual racist ****s and that level of stupidity in outlook and life annoys the **** out of me.

Oh and I'm going to hazard a guess you meant hypocritical not hypercritical?

Annoying to make that mistake so close to using the word stupid I imagine.

Forget the money, that's not what it's about, the tossers get paid no matter what names they're called. But that's all it is, name calling, not nice, I grant you, but they're only words and hot air.

Well you would know about being a "tosser" being full of hot air

Did the fact that the England squad threatened to walk off if racist chants were heard BEFORE they even arrived in Bulgaria increase the risk of the chants happening?
