I know that the UK has a problem with racism, but why do people always assume that it is just white people that are being racist. A few months ago in birmingham there were riots in the streets between asian and black communities, this had nothing to do with white people, I know that there are white racists out there in the UK, and quite rightly they are disliked and measures are taken to put an end to their bigoted views. But why is it then that theme parks like Alton Towers can have Muslim only days, where people can only get tickets through Islamic websites (this is according to a local paper, but it does say that Alton Towers have confirmed this)If white people were to say, i dunno, a christian only day it wouldnt be allowed due to racial and religious discrimination. Can someone please explain this to me.Many thanks

Hate IS hate
Racism is a convenient term for ignorant people to shift and argument from it's original direction to one where the person has to defend his beliefs.
Example -if I say Hezbollah Islamics are terrorist that murder innocent people in Israel. ignorant people jump up and say it is racism. Now I am expected to defend myself against the charge of racism instead of debating Hezbollah's policies and actions

Whites may not be the majority worldwide, but we do however tend to be the wealthiest. Not only that, we also are usually in charge of the governments and large corporations. White people also tend to be Christian (catholic or Protestant) which allows people to group us all together.
Due to racism by whites in the past, every time there is something which can be blamed on racism is usually is. Other races are not held to that standard.
Because of our political correct society we are in Essenes allowing racism and bigotry toward whites. Race should never be a point of interest to anyone. All crimes are hate crimes. And all racism is the result of ignorance.
Everyone needs to be held to the same standard.

I don't see any reason why a group cant have time to them selves. That is not racism. Trying to intimidate them is racism. Simply they don't want to be bothered. Don't bother them

All I know is that it is wrong to hate anyone for their race or ethnic origin. Except if the person is blue. I hate blue people. Oh, how I loathe them!

I can't explain it, no. It's another example of political correctness gone mad.
