British news and people are sometimes ignorant about the definition of race. The Shrike Send a noteboard - 19/06/2010 03:06:28 PM
I came across <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/10357018.stm">this</a> article, which told me that HMV has stopped selling the Anyone But England t-shirts because they are ... wait for it ... racist and inciting "race hatred". Hmm.

Are we operating with a very wide definition of racism here? Surely that is not the word?


Or they use antiquated definitions of race. Going by the definition that most of the world uses - the English people and the Scottish people are all one race.

People really need to learn the difference between ethnicity and race.

It's sort of like people in 49 of the states hating New Jersey. that doesn't make us racist. *NM* Deadsy - 19/06/2010 02:33:49 PM 196 Views
