    Came here to find out what P word was. Saw that this was England and knew immediately.

    It’s comforting as an American to know that Europe is still in the running for who can be the most racist.

        My theory is the the British sent their criminals off to the Australian colony and the real smart criminals escaped and formed the usa. /s

        Nope. This is a denial of the reality of racism - which globally privileges pale skin over dark.

        You might be able to make a similar but worthless point about “prejudice” or something, but this kind of talk about racism is just wrong and harmful.

          Imagine being this dumb and obstinate at the same time.

          Don’t worry buddy, I still believe you’re capable of learning and growing out of your beloved and hopelessly clutched ignorance.

          I’m rooting for you.
