I'd say then that they are a special combination of superficial and cowardly.

By the way, I'm Irish.

Well if they already decide that they're not going to like someone just based on their nationality, before they've even talked to them, then that just means that they're a person who will miss out. They are ignorant to assume that they will dislike people from those countries, as each individual person is different, no matter where they are from. However, starting off with those prejudices but continuing to be polite can only be a good thing, as it may lead to more in depth conversation and an eye-opening experience of realising that those prejudices were a load of rubbish.

Yes they're racist.

I think many people are a little bit racist, especially if they have had little contact when they were younger with other ethnic groups and don't know much about them. Or if they have had racist parents it's difficult to throw aside completely those views without a lot of effort. But if they try to challenge their bigoted feelings and make an effort not to discriminate then that is to be applauded.

The Freedom of Speech in the UK has long gone out of the window. This country has also gone to the dogs. We Brits are the servants in our own country and we should never be that we have to bow down to different ethnic minorities. You cannot say these sayings anymore in the UK

P@k* shop = The corner store or the supermarket.
Chink@ie = Chinese takeaway
Chocolate drops/bars = it has to be said sweet bars or sweet drops.
So what is happening to the British society, we are all being laughed at behind our backs. If I don't like a person no-one will force me to like that person, be it ethnic minority or a Brit.

So long as this person isnt acting on his dislikes in anyway whatsoever, he should be entitled to thnk whatever he likes. No one can control thoughts.

Doesn't make it right, but then, people think nasty things every day.

To say otherwise would mean that anyone who has ever mentally imagined strangling someone is actually a murderer.

its hidden, and there are many. its what happens when governments overun a country with immagrants forcing the locals
to put up with it and to make them appear evil if they complain. causing the country to be smouldering with deep hidden resentment and anger, which will eventualy explode. its a method of torment, those who are nazi types like blair, will continue this method untill the british snap and all hell brakes loose. this is why the british have re created hitlers problems before second world war. its a plan.

Racism is a label often fixed arbitrarily and unjustifiably by the Mighty Self-Opinionated. It is the ideal human behaviour to be respectful and courteous to persons of other nations, other religions, other races. It is not racism.

What about Americans??
Yes it still makes them racist, it just means that other innocent people dont have to listen to that person's closed minded opinions!

I think it does make them a bigot. And from how you explained it they sound like (in the closet bigots) and they are the worse ones because you never know who they are until you bust them. They are the dangerous ones because they sneak around behind peoples backs plotting and planning bad things against other ethnic groups.
