this statement is a perfect example of racism.. Pretty-much wrong at every turn

61.6% Overall, 235.4 million people reported White alone or in combination with another group. The White alone population accounted for 204.3 million people and 61.6% of all people living in the United States, compared with 223.6 million and 72.4% in 2010.12 Aug 2021 So what? Only racist would consider they need to be a majority.

QED - you don't even understand what you're reading or how it fits into the topic. - Try number 2 on the list.

#26 - Racism is "natural" - they just keep coming.

Why then - if not racist = are you adding weight to his "race" by guessing what nationality he was?

Wondered when you'd show up.....this thread needed some intellectually challenged contributions. A fine example of the logical fallacy circular reasoning; beginning with what you plan on ending up with....

"UK law" - ??? - you just keep getting better and better - what on earth do you think you'll achieve??

You'd have been te guy running around asking what nation;ity they were??

Brilliant! You just keep confirming everything on the list item by item - keep going! to save time just go to #15 -

Snowflake - an insult used to mean that a person is too easily insulted or is too sensitive to the opinions of others. used by racists etc. who are too sensitive to the opinions of others. - e,g, when being pointed out as racists

another cliche! -You are ticking all the boxes.

Say more about the officer than anything about the tourist industry.

look at #14 - Failure to distinguish between prejudice, assumption or opinion and "fact"

I know th scotch - apparently it is part of Norway's Xmas TV. Your comments are subjective and unexplained.

Eh? - what's that got to do with racism?

I thought that was in Norway????

Incredible - here's a definition of woke"aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)" - the alternative is ignorant ,,,,,,

It's amazing how accurate the list is!

QED!

Tropes and clichés used by racists ….. 1. Playing "the race card" 2. Dismissing an individual who brings up race / culture in a discussion 3. use of the concept of “other” (we/them syndrome) 4. Stereotyping of an entire nationality. 5. “I married one, so I can’t be racist, can I?” 6. Logical Fallacies: false authority- the use of “expert” – i.e. concentration on the messenger rather than the message. 7. No true Scotsman – the arguer is wrong as they don’t represent the argument e.g. You don’t live there or in Thailand. 8. Conviction that personally they have superior abilities to the people they are criticising 9. Over-use of the 3rd person plural pronouns and adjectives, (e.g. - them, they, their) 10. “They” come over here…. 11. Sweeping subjective generalisations about nationality, creed, colour 12. It’s a religion, so that’s not racist, is it? 13. Incorrect use of the word "culture" - It’s in their “culture” 14. Failure to distinguish between prejudice, assumption or opinion and "fact" 15. Spend a lot of time arguing something is not racist. 16. “Some of my best friends are…..” 17. “I’ve got nothing against them, but……..” 18. “They come over here…” 19. “Did you hear the one about?…….” 20. “coloureds” 21. “racialist” (as opposed to “racist”) 22. “It’s PC gone mad!” 23. Using “woke” as a derogatory term. 24. “(They’re a)Dysfunctional race” 25. “Some of them are racist too!” 26. Racism is “natural” 27. "ALL lives matter" 28. “They’re great (any hobby or activity). . But they can’t (any hobby or activity)….” 29. “A lot of minorities are too sensitive,” 30. Microaggressions, in the everyday exchanges = “Everyone can succeed in this society, if they work hard enough.” If you can tick any of these, you are probably racist.

QED - end of....

As someone who no longer drinks I've become incredibly aware how "take a drink, without being stigmatised" - is in fact just a cliche used by alcoholics in exactly the same way racists argue they aren't

So are you arguing that something is not racist, then?

There is stupid, stupider and then there is racist. Racism is based on false beliefs or pseudo science. as racists are stupid they are very prone to resorting to cliches etc One defining thing is they spent a lot of time claiming things aren't racist as they are too dumb to realise what racism really is. Being a racist is like being an alcoholic - one has to admit one is one before one can do anything about it....

Where did I say you did?
