Because usually liberal morons with no life experience think it is trendy to be ultra PC. I cant stand the @rseholes on here who call people a racist for absolutly no reason. They are the people who cause racism in the first place.

No it isn't. The media just pick up on any story to give that impression to create tension and bad feeling. Rags like the Daily Mail love to run stories like this. Black/Asian people are not running to their bosses and the police saying this is racist and that is racist. You will find it is white people who are too scared of offending people. All the reports at Christmas about offending Muslims etc. If you actually asked any Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, etc (And I did) not one person was offended by Christmas or the dsecorations. The 'race card' is not there to be 'played'. If someone has been genuinely discriminated against or insulted by someone based on their colour, nationality or religion they have the right to make a complaint about it to the proper authority. I feel sad reading some comments about people complaining about not getting jobs because they are black or being arrested. This is outdated rubbish and is normally the views of people looking for reasons to hate ethnic minorities.

Yes definately. The only racism I diagree with is actually hating and discriminating against someone because of their skin. I have no time for people who blame everything that goes wrong in their life on racism. S**t happens to everybody in the world - get over it!

Unfortunately it does get misused and undermines real cases of racism. This also encourages the knee-jerk anti-PC who usually whine about the old days when you could call a spade a spade and still get change for a fiver.

No, I don't think so. How many times have you actually known this to happen (and not just heard from a mate, etc)? Some people will say it happens a lot (just look at some of the replies here) but I think they're only saying this because they have far-right political views anyway.

Yes sometimes, but people use different dirty tactics to get what they want in life. you could say its easy for women to play the sexism card or harrassment.
The trick is to not pander to this sh!t and take each case on the facts and not on the word of one person

There seems to be a lot of white people on here using the 'race card'. Or are we both just whinging?

its played far too easily and its about time the authorities started to do something about it . how come we dont hear any whites cry racism when a black copper arrests them or an asian copper . and if a white person doesnt get a job we dont complain that its because of the colour of our skin .

I think we are too politically correct on a lot of things. not everything is raceist but a lot of people make it out to be

Are you kidding me that is all they do play the RACE CARD. It makes me sick. But it sure seems to be the ONLY card they have to play.
