why? Care to actually explain yourself, for a change?
what does the second part have to do with anything?
your first part is bollocks as well, you were clearly agreeing with Hill, and are now shown to be totally wrong. But whatever, you keep on thinking you have been right in everything you ever have said, or will say.
a - racism is not simply the statement that you think one race is superior to another
b - despite that, that notion of 'superiority' would follow in, something like, 99% of examples.
What I was trying to say is that if you believe that problems can arise from too much cultural/racial mixing, it does not necessarily follow that you consider one culture/race to be superior to another.
a - We can argue about the definition of racism all evening. Can we call it supremacy instead? Perhaps I should have used that term to start with.
b - I disagree.
The reason I think it's worth making the distinction is that the notion that one race is superior to another is, in my reckoning, fundamentally wrong and I think can be proven to be so.
On the other hand, the notion that mixing up different races (and in many cases but by no means all, this also means mixing up cultures) can cause problems is not fundamentally wrong - it can and does cause problems. It may well be that many people have a distorted view of how and to what extent it causes problems, and that the solutions to these problems offered by the BNP are not good ones, but you can't just write people who hold this view off as bigots, racists or supremacists. Some of them may be, of course, but not all of them. And the attitude where you do just write these people off, is exactly the kind of attitude which will only increase the extent to which they'll be attracted to parties like the BNP.

do you work in HR?

No. I just wonder that if teuchter had used that word instead, whether it would have made you address the point rather than pick up on that one word.
on b - thats an almost meaningless statement
as anything - mixing cultures, not mixing cultures - causes 'problems'.
As such that renders 'problems' almost meaningless.
Life causes 'problems', tho probably not quite as many as death.
Your one-sided version (and I happily accept in advance that you agree with the converse, as I just described it) is just that, one-sided,
and as such, a sop to bigotry.

good try, and a fair example i think.eating breakfast causes me problems, it makes me late for work
as the basis for such decision making it is clearly insufficient here. If the reason for taking a course of actions is to avoid problems, then neither course of action has any merit as they both cause problems. That renders it pretty worthless as a deciding factor. If you'd rather swap worthless for meaningless, thats fine by me.As such that renders 'problems' almost meaningless.
Not agreed
it's a shit way of making a decision. Now you seem to be defending not thinking.One-sided version in one-sided version is one-sided version shocker.
get better glasses then. As you just said, your initial statement was entirely one-sided. Taking an entirely one-sided view is by definition biased. Prejudiced one might say. And prejudice is a synonym for......Complete non-sequitur as far as I can see.
ctrl+f......
oh yes! so he is!
(but i suspect that was fairly common knowledge anyway )
So if you're happy with my example, then you agree that my opinion that "Eating my breakfast in the morning causes me problems. It means I am late for work" is a "sop to bigotry", according to your logic.
Is that correct?

I'm happy with your example cos it shows you are totally wrong. Which you'd realise if you understood a thing about basic logic. But you dont, which is why you have to keep redefining words
You are totally and utterly wrong
Unfortunately I don't think it works for you. 'Eating breakfast' doesn't make you late for work, bad time management does that. But, 'not having bad time management causes me problems' doesn't really work, does it?
On the other hand, the notion that mixing up different races (and in many cases but by no means all, this also means mixing up cultures) can cause problems is not fundamentally wrong - it can and does cause problems.
Mixing cultures may cause problems, but seperation of cultures may cause others.
Also, seperation of cultures may not be the best way of solving the problems that the original mixing caused.
