The Government says racism should be stamped out but they breed it by changing wording like "winter lights" instead of Christmas lights. Some schools have stopped doing the nativity. So who are the racists?

Stupid politically correct initiatives do more to promote racism than the national front!

You have put your finger on a rather interesting point. Those who claim to be attempting to eradicate things like, 'Racism', whatever that might mean, actually achieve the opposite. I doubt that this is intentional, it is more likely down to 'left wingers' inability to understand human nature. If, for example, you try to outlaw certain types of thoughts/attitude behaviour etc. toward minority groups, often appearing to give them certain advantages, then you will encourage hatred toward those groups, the very thing you were claiming to avoid. These feelings will eventually bubble to the surface no matter what the law states. I also agree with the subtext to your question, by preferring minority groups, you thereby create a tyranny against the majority. The ultimate objective, of course, is to control the majority. I really do not think that these home grown lefties give a damn about the so called rights of minority groups, they are only interested in controlling the majority.
It is also noticeable, that they keep the racist debate going, for example, by referring to minority communities. If we are all equal and British, why do we have to refer to ethnic minority communities at all? Sexism and racism etc has become an industry.

Who ever said the lights were "Christmas" lights?
Racism has nothing to do with religion - the popular decisions by councils to start referring to the lights outside in towns in December as "winter lights" or something similar is to promote a multi-religious community & not to offend non-Christians.
Its not a race thing - many white english people arent christians.
Why should non-christians have christian beliefs (eg nativity) forced upon them?
The celebration of winter has happened in all cultures since the beginning of time - its not a Christian thing - actually Christ was actually supposed to have been born in October (before the calendar change) & it was Christians who chose to change the celebration date to fit in with all other religions.
I strongly suggest that before you open a can of worms like this that you get your facts right.

The UK government is one of the biggest causes of racism in the UK -- that is why they change traditions such as "Christmas Lights" not to offend the muslim community and insult muslim women by saying that they are backward for wearing veils. It is all part of their strategy of dividing people and turning them against each other.
It is the old trick. The government creates the problems that it offers the solution for.

This is not the government. Indeed, it is not even 'government'.
It is some 'politically correct' barmy councils.
These councils are anti-English, anti-British, anti every thing.
They want to see our culture go down the drain for the sake of pandering to the so called 'minorities'.
Getting rid of Christmas and other Christian activities because they think that it will offend these minorities.
It makes me totally sick.
....and your question has a 'thumbs up' from me .

The problem is the government are positively discriminating in favour of minority groups which I think is just as bad as racism

Seems that today, the most racist members of society are the non-white minorities.
