That's quite true LD. it's the same as this:

a Black person can wear a T-Shirt showing the words "Black Power". A Women can wear a T-Shirt showing the words "Female Power," but if a White person wore a T-Shirt showing the words "White Power", they would be arrested!!

Re: Casual racism

Well then...wear the one that says Black Power, and get a black friend with a sense of humour to wear the one that says White Power, and see what happens!
Then do it the other way round.
My guess is no one would turn a hair..

Re: Casual racism

Why do we take offence over being called some name? I know most of us do.I am a Geordie by birth ,but was only a few months old when we came to live in London for all my life, so where does that put me ?

Yes, that's British 'equality'. This country's a joke.
