Why are there no laws to prevent racism against a white Englishman?

Actually the first answer is wrong
There is no discrimination against the white uk male because there is no Statutory law to protect him. The fact that a white man gets turned down for a job because he is white is not unlawful because the white man is not provided for in the Race Relations Act.....
To answer your question though....i have no idea but it is becoming more and more noticed

Years ago, in the early days of the Race Relations Act, I remember reading about an Englishman who had emigrated to North Wales and who felt that he was the target of discrimination by the local populace. He made a complaint to the police and while I can't recall the outcome, it was taken seriously. This type of discrimination against the English is also a hot topic in today's news. http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/this_britain/article271355.ece

Racism isn't defined by laws.
It is defined by attitudes, generally of very ignorant individuals, relative to the culture in which the attitude is embedded.
Generally speaking, this question would be asked by a supremacist mentality.
That is racism personified.
Hope it is not you.

Am asian and i dont believe in being racist to anyone in any situation. If you are white/english and someone is being racist it is the same law for you. Just like it is for me.

When filling in the last Census form I put that I was a White Anglo Saxon Protestant,ie WASP, they soon came round to get me to change it. Proves they read them though.

I suggest you look up a definition of racism and if you then find that you are truly not racist, you will understand that any kind of prejudice against any race regardless of colour is unacceptable.

there are, they're just not enforced. mainly because we dont make a fuss and if we do, it gets compared to the centuries other races had rasicm inflicted on them and dropped. good question tho, stand by for all the answers that denounce you racist tho.

I don't think your question is founded on real fact.
However, we know what you are getting at.
I call myself 'English' - not British - which is frowned upon today.
Things get worse by the day!

it is slightly true, i know people who have been called 'white trash' from being english and nothing happened. yet when it's the other way around it's like you're getting lined up for the killing.

Because the PC idiots and the government have made it that way. We're just expected to take all the crap from everyone and not retaliate - its wrong isnt it ????
To all those who say its fair - it isnt believe me. I had a cranky neighbour who was black and started doing voodoo stuff on our car at 2am in the morning then putting death threat notes through the door to my daughter. We called the police and they said it was US who had to be careful to avoid being seen as being racist. She basically got away with it because she was black and we are white. How is that fair ????
