It is not "racism in reverse" it is simply blatant...........Racism.
In so many areas today whites face political and media discrimination which would be not acceptable if it were applied to peoples of other skin colour.
All forms of racial discrimination are abhorrent and sow the seeds of separation leading to suspicion, fear and hatred.
This should not be tolerated.
We should never be criticised whatever our creed , colour or nationality/origins.
It is character that defines a persons status and not the colour of ones skin.
"Racism in reverse" is a misnomer, there is only racism, or no racism, not some kind of pseudo "reverse" polarity racism (which somehow doesn't sound so bad).

I think this is actually causing racial hatred rather than help people of other races integrate into society. Why do we have to make it out that they are some charity case that we've got to help? I'm sure people of other races or nationalities are very capable of sorting out their lives without this kind of nonsense. How about those white british that are now facing a job loss because they are unable to travel to the other location? Who cares about them? Are they all going on the dole? It is such an utter bollox, and if I was of another race I would be objecting to this kind of ridiculous decision. As if I was some mong that needs to be given special treatment. I would be fuming by now, it does not look bad on us whites but looks rather demeaning on people of other races. I think that is proper RACISM IN PRACTICE initiated by the government and its stupid do-gooders.

Firstly, who is Anne Beasley? Its racism in reverse. White people are becoming second rate citizens.

I'm suspicious of ANY racist claim, pro or con, offensive or self-defensive.
Racism is always overt and very clear. It has almost nothing to do with about 95% of the things poeple say these days, and in fact the real racists are often the ones complaining about it the loudest.
George Bush recently called Barak Obama "articulate". A few black people around the country said it was a racist comment and you have to be black to understand it.
Pardon me, but bull sh it. We all have dictionaries. We're not dumb. He was paying Obama a compliment, and black people just made themselves look silly crying racism over it.

Can a town be to black, brown or yellow?.....You get the feeling these people are, just saying these stupid remarks to stir up trouble, and get their name in the papers.The British and English are the most easy going,tolerant friendly people in the world. (This of coarse is not true as soon as we go abroad to watch football.These things are cross breeds.The result of a night of passion between Jad Goodie and Roy chubby Brown) why must we keep taking these remarks against us.We are not colour coded.We are all just people, who want to get on and live our lives as one, the way we always have.

That is another typical example of Labour's PC bordering on the ludicrous. Whatever will happen next.
I am horrified at what the British government is doing to the country.

Firstly its not racism "in reverse" - its racism pure and simple.

PC gone mad.
