Nickie's post said that she agreed with me that racist abuse / violence should NOT be treated any different to any other abuse / violence, because a punch is a ounch and just as horrible for the recient whoever they are.
Desiderata immediately started insulting her! She added that people who are vulnerable because of physical difference (children / disabled people). NOT black people, need protection. Desiderata accused her of protecting black people in a patronising way.
Nickie declined to re-explain her post, to cintiniungh insults from Desi.
How is Desi being bullied?
Desi - please post your original comment again, because I would like to debate a) does it matter what goes on in other countries - what matters to us, surely is what we allow, and what we wish to be acceptable here in our country b) whether racism is in fact simply generated by indiginousness or otherwise, majority / minority in quantity, and / or how other factors are involved - compare and contrast countries in which the indiginous population is now in a minority and subject to racism etc etc.
It can't just be an issue of numbers: DS (as a mixed race Asian / white child is in a minority in his largelt black british class and there is no reported racism by anyone.
How ever it happens, racism is dysfunctional in some way, and the result of dysfunction, but the way forward is to remove the dysfucntion, not criminalise people's expression of thought.
