I am not, nor have I ever been racist. In fact the whole point of this post is to explain a fundamental point about how these 'isms' work, and why we can't differentiate between them to suit our own prejudices.
The so-called 'Regressive Left' defend atrocities committed by Muslims, (including recent immigrants) such as rapes, sexual assaults, female genital mutilation, paedophilia, gender segregation, knife attacks, acid attacks, bombings and gay bashing, as "just part of their culture". This "cultural differences" argument in morality is fine, when applied equally, but otherwise it is a crock of shit.
I come from an iron mining town, sandwiched between the two largest coal towns in South-East Wales. It was the 70s and racism and sexism was very much part of our culture, and still is in large parts of 'The Valleys.'
Someone I know from a generation above mine, who is a liberal aptheist, still occasionally comes out with comments like "A local man just married an Asian girl, she's from Vietnam, but she's very kind". "But?" Why? Is it at all unusual for a Vietnamese lady to be kind?
He doesn't mean anything by it. It's just our culture. He's no more a racist than anyone else I could mention, but the Regressives would be all over him like a rash, because he's a white man.
The question I have for these Regressives is: Why are you upset that people, who come from a culture in which race, gender and sexuality are targets for oppression (and in a few cases serious bullying and violent attacks), are racist, sexist, or homophobic? Surely that's "just their culture" isn't it?
When the BNP rally and want to be racist, why is this a problem for you? The British, as tolerant as we are as a whole, have always harboured a distrust, and dislike, of 'Johnny Foreigner.' It's a cultural thing for us.
Yet, according to you, Mr & Miss Regressive (the subject of the worst of the Mr Men and Little Miss books) we are not allowed to express our culture. When we are disgusted at seeing videos of Muslim men and women shitting in public, or we hear of Muslim men beating their wives, gang-raping children, hanging gay people, or sexually assaulting white and Sikh girls, (because they are taught this is what they must do,) we are the ones accused of intolerance - and our outrage is lambasted as "deep-seated hatred of", or "intolerable racism towards" Muslims.
You cannot have it both ways dear Lefties. Either these Muslims have to come to terms with our culture, and start behaving themselves, or the racists get to continue being expressive of their hatred.
Which is it to be?
