My perspective is from 'Merrica, where anti-immigration is 100% focused on racism.

It's the same in Europe.

And now in response to the ThinkScotland post:

Alright, that's that. Fifteen minutes well spent, I think.

Hahaha. UKIP is racist? It is the least discriminatory party of all. All others do have in-out categories; European, in. Not European, much harder to get in. UKIP believes immigration should be cut down, but doesn't favour any particular ethnic group.

It's not anti immigration. It's controlled immigration.

The reasons UKIP believe immigration should be cut down to begin with are racist reasons. You can't just pretend that they're "the least discriminatory party" without consider why they want what they want.

Quote
Using the example of Australia, yet again. Are they racist?

Yes, they are. And as far as I know, they are masking that racism behind a rhetoric of being "anti-boat immigrantist".

Quote
All parties, as you so eloquently put it, "Shit on the floor." It's merely a discussion on what their particular problems are.

You are right. A better metafor would be someone constantly walking around with shit in their pants.

I could ask the same of you, but it would be an equally pointless and redundant post as yours is, so I won't.

Well, I have revision to do right now, and my break is up. So, I'll probably post more later and for the moment ignore Scriver until I have leisure time available to answer. Instead, I'll say your thoughts on ThinkScotland can equally applied to the biased, left wing website your directed us to on immigration.

As to this:
I'm sure the SDL would be happy to know they have you as a spokesman in their defence in the future.
Hol' yer whisht. I think everyone can see the banner they are holding in some pictures you kindly provided that show them holding the Swastika painted in UKIP colours. I think who "Nazi scum" was directed to is quiet obvious.

I can't read it all. I am exceedingly busy. But I'll come back tonight.

Yet I challenge you to refute his figures.

Aye, ah'm a wee bittie regretfu' fer sayin' thon. It wis gey uncaad fer, apologies. Ah'll haud ma wheesht.

The Nazi Scum chant was actually directed at the SDL fellows, according to newspaper articles on the event. I don't agree with the Swastika placard, that was unnecessary, but the chant was focussed on the SDL alone.

If this goes on I'm going to have to reduce quoting and be more laconic.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

I'm just going to say that "we don't have a problem with people hating brown people over here in jolly Britain, that's an American Thing" is some of the most condescending bullshit I've ever seen before, especially considering everything I've seen from the British right-wing.

Hey, I'm a nice wee right-winger. I very much doubt I'm a racist, though.

I don't think he was saying "there are no racists." I think it is more a case of "There isn't much white vs. Black, especially when compared to America." At least, that's how I read it.
