UKIP are making the same arguments about immigration that the Conservatives made in 2005. The Conservatives just don't like having their clothes stolen.
Yes, not just the press, too. I'm impressed by all the firmly anti-racist comments being made here by contributors who don't regularly sound like the Guardian.
To give a serious reply to Blueberry, there's nothing wrong with collecting information about people's background and using it to help form an opinion, so long as an open mind is kept for them as individuals. Racism (and other isms) in my view is the drawing of conclusions about entire groups with no scope for difference - it's undesirable both because it's unfair and because it erects a wall of perceived difference which gets in the way of sensible mingling. If you think that ALL Romanians are worrying neighbours, how does a law-abiding Romanian go about establishing any kind of neighbourly relationship with you?
Thanks for the considered response. This line jumped out at me: "Racism (and other isms) in my view..." because it gets to the nub of the problem. Namely, there is no definition of racism that everyone agrees. What's racist to one person is nothing of the sort to another.
The word has been used by so many people to describe such a broad range of contexts that it's lost its meaning. I seem to remember that McPherson started the ball rolling when he redefined it to include religions, and then Labour passed a law that requires the police to investigate if anyone perceives racism, and then didn't Harman do something with 'protected characteristics' where people self-define and employers have to have quotas, except they're not called quotas? Rubbish legislation.
But take my example about the Polish work ethic. That's a staple of BBC public information. They never mention Poles without saying we'd be lost without them because of their excellent work ethic. So, is it racist to generalise in positive way about a nationality and, the related question, would it be racist to point out a nationality which has a poor work ethic? Or perhaps a poor record when it comes to crime?
It's a total mess. And it's all Labour's fault because it successfully conflated racism with concern about immigration all the while allowing millions to settle in the UK whilst having no mandate to do so. And it's not in the past either. What about Barbara Roche and her Eurasism nonsense? Have you been using that word much on the doorstep? I'd include an emoticon with rolling eyes if I knew how. Believe me, this topic is not Labour's strongest suit.
"Yes? The lefty media class really struggle with stats, probabilities and the subsequent stereotypes upon which we base decisions."
I agree. We evolved to see patterns in behaviour, and for a good reason. If you're looking for a mugger, a twenty-year-old is more likely than an eighty-year-old. And at airport security, a suicide bomber is unlikely to be a seventy-year-old nun, no matter how PC you are.
Obviously it's statistical but it's also logical. Testosterone imprinting makes a difference - it makes you more likely to be stronger, more violent and less able at languages, but it's only a guide. To ignore it, though, is stupid.
Racism is silly - the genetic differences are tiny. Culture is much more important. Nature and nurture combine and we're still arguing which is most important.
A Romanian neighbour is an individual, but if we import a selective group, we may have a significant effect. That is where facts are useful rather than prejudice of either sort.
You would think intelligent people who are interested in politics and philosophy wouldnt need to be spoon fed such obvious facts
Given that the vast majority of Romanians don't commit any crimes, why not just say that?
Farage said he would feel uncomfortable if a group of Romanian men moved next door. not if a Romanian family moved next door.
But it suits leftys (Cameroons. New Labour and LDs) to overlook that distinction
Any Romanian men ? So, he would feel uncomfortable if a Romanian pensioner moved in next door. He is dog whistling. We all know that. You know that too, don't you ?
Incidentally, I've just returned from a visit to the local (Merseyside) pub with the wife. "Oliver's Army" was playing on the jukebox and yes, he did sing "One less white n*gger." Asterisks for the easily offended.
Yet no one went shrieking for the doors. Perhaps they're less easily offended up here? Or possibly, it.s the context.
Nigel Farage admitted last night that he was wrong to say that he would be uncomfortable if Romanians moved next door after his party spent 48 hours vigorously defending the remark.
