oooh hang on, i don't like Shilpa's attitude and personality....that must make me racist?

That's the usual racist's copout actually
Your an idiot if that's what you think...... That inadvertently makes you racist!. Thats you saying Im not allowed to dislike someone if there indian......
That's the usual racist's copout actually
Why don't we have a poll and see how many people think that Jade WAS making racist comments compared with those who think she just 'lacks social skills'? That might resolve the discussion before it gets too heated in here...
Its not going to get heated. I've said my piece and its obvious i'm not the only one to think it so i'm satisfied![]()
jade is part black so every one who dont like her attitude must all be closet racists as well then

so are people who assume someone is racist because of a difference of opinion. They can't understand they may actually have cr*p social skills so the easier cop out is to brand people racist cause its easier than facing up to the fact they are unlikeable
Attitude is learned and chosen behaviour, it has nothing to do with race Dave![]()

I thought you were suggesting that from your comment? I apologise for mis-interperating your posting wrongly![]()
The simple fact is that the heat of the moment tends to show people in their true light. If there is a difference of opinion and someone’s ethnicity, disability, nationality, looks etc etc gets dragged into it then you fundamentally move away from whatever merit the argument may have had in the first place.
The argument isn't somehow non racist because the person didn't have the spare mental capacity to formulate a more palatable argument. I don't think anyone is arguing that you can't have a perfectly acceptable interracial row, however, the basic truth in any conflict is that a sense of proportion has to maintained in the weapons that are brought to bear. Cross that invisible line and you're liable to find yourself in difficulty.
Once someone has been seen to lose control and cross the boundaries of socially acceptable behaviour then re gaining trust can be nigh on impossible.
