    Not I.

    I plan to watch some paint drying instead.

    The Boeing 787 one is good, too. 🙂 (Not 100% safe for work!)

    For some reason, canvassers never knock on our door any more.

    Mind you, neither do the Jehovah’s Witnesses – but that’s a story for another day. :diablo:

    Criticising a Muslim for bad driving is perceived to be racist whereas criticising an white Englishman is not.

    By whom, exactly?

    You don’t think that critcising someone’s driving skills would, by itself, constitute racism and I agree completely with you.

    In fact, I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t agree with us.

    So, who are “they”?

    I know you can’t be seriously expecting me to justify and/or validate the perceptions of others, Joey.

    Criticising a Pakistani for rudeness is not the same thing as criticising a rude person for being a Pakistani.

    Or perhaps you disagree?

    There, I’ve pointed out differences but in no way is it racist – although I’m sure some unread people would claim it is.

    The particular example you quote is, of course, not racism.

    You are stating well-established scientific fact, and you are not being critical of anyone on the grounds of their ethnicity.

    We should all be free to criticise whomever we wish and of whatever colour or creed.

    We are.

    If, however, we do so on the grounds of their ethnicity then that would be racism.

    I really don’t understand why you are finding this so difficult.
