What a sh*t show it all is now.

Society has lost the plot in Britain. Two words, that are very different in meaning, have become conflated to the exclusion, nearly, of one.

I think I am correct in saying that the Race Relations Act introduced “discrimination” based upon race, colour, creed etc. It was as much an offence to discriminate on the grounds of colour as it was on the grounds of Catholicism, for example.

“Racism” and, perforce, a “racist” is the belief that one race is superior to another. A “racist” believes that a black Caymanian (where I lived for many years) is superior to a black Honduran (which is a prevalent belief there).

Enoch Powell, then MP for Wolverhampton (a predominantly black community) tried to explain the difference and was pilloried for it.

Are the police “racist”, I would say no. Do they discriminate, well the example of the Asian grooming gangs answers that question.

Is discrimination worse than racism? I would say yes. A feeling of superiority does not really hurt a person. Discriminating and denying someone their rights, for example, is far worse.
