Itsme takes a post from fender in another thread to argue that fender seems to be more xenophobic than his post in this thread suggests.
In that thread the discussion is about people coming in boats to the UK, and the suggestion to let them drown instead of aiding them.
You don't even know whether they are refugees or immigrants with economic motives. From this discussion fender's quote by itsme is taken.
I suggest we stop the discussion about immigrants here and continue in the thread Andrwe vs nigel.
As for fender's namecalling, it's for the supervisor to decide if it is permissible. As post 23 still stands I assume it is, so we have a standard for permissible namecalling.
I'll just have to assume you don't know the meaning of a xenophobe.
I think my Slovak wife / Bulgarian neighbours / Nigerian mates / Gurkha mates / Turkish mates / Kurdish mates may wish to disagree.
That aside, I've nearly ended up in scraps on occasion defending people who've had racist remarks thrown at them. One was on the circle line tube in London when I fronted two guys who called a Muslim woman wearing a burqa a ninja. Hardly the actions of a racist.
Like I said, stop assuming you know someone when clearly you have no idea.
