"Is that actually racist though? If Sue Ellen can say what she said about Gay asylum seekers and be defended then this looks nowhere near as controversial to me? Brexit supporters get very defensive when they are accused of racism over comments like “too many Romanians” and such. Is what Liz Webster said worse than that? BTW I am agnostic on Webster. No views either way. But racist?" yes it is It's a derogatory comment about a race of people. | |||

"Saying being gay is not a right to claim asylum is not the same as denigrating an entire coutnries population who share different skin tone and religioins compared to the one you inhabit / prefer. It is undeniably racist. And she has deleted the tweet." Did you quote the whole thing? As what you said “Indian colony” is not what I would see as a racist? Wasn’t comparing Gay to Racist, was saying people defend controversial statements when it suits them. Probably a poor comparison, the Romanian one was closer. | |||

There's was nothing controversial about suellas words. She simply stated something factual. Being gay was not a reason for an asylum claim. | |||

"It's distasteful rhetoric. Is the implication we will be inundated with Indians ? Or that we will be ceding much control to India via the FTA? I'm hoping it's more the latter as the former is unsavoury. I'm not sure racist in itself. It makes no value statement about India or being a colony thereof. I don't see it being any more racist than suggesting millions of Turks are on their way However the undertones are worrying. Wrong. I wish people would stop trying to have complex discussion on twitter. It removes all context and nuance. I may add that to my pet hates. " She would rather we cede full control to the White e.u Than do free trade with Indians. Its racist. Had any one from the right wing jave come out and said this. There'd be cries lf racism. | |||

There'd be cries lf racism." her language does suggest that she prefer the EU. However she didn't explicitly state a preference. There's some semantics in there to weasel out as policlycoans and their supporters are want to do. I'd also suggest that's not quite the options. Being part of the EU is not giving up full control. And the Indian trade deal is more than an FTA if it starts covering visas and the like. However I do agree there is clear water between the two options. She should explain herself. As it stands it smells a bit like racism. But that could just be the twitter effect. | |||

Purely on the paragraph you quoted, I see it as using British colonial history in reverse that India will "rule us" via trade agreements Vs her preference of being ruled by the EU. | |||

"Is everyone in the EU white? Not sure what I’m missing here." Is everyone in India Indian? No. Is every one in Africa black no. Bit you denigrate the general population. Had a tory saidnthis. You'd be up in arms about it. And you know it. People tried calling farage a racist for saying no one wants to live next door to 20 male Romanians orbthaybturkeynmight be let into the e.u If that's racist language as some in here commenting on this thread indicated. What liz said is Absolutely racist. You don't get to have it both ways I am afraid. You made your bed. Lie in it. | |||

"If you saw how Indians talk about other people in their own country you wouldn't be so protective over them. They can be just as racist as anyone else themselves. Its not like two wrongs make a right mind you." The caste system in India is still a thing. | |||

Sorry but I am seeing this as an absolute complete unashamed double standard. Saying you wouldn't want 20 Romanian men next door to you because ofnthe e.us own numbers onc riminal gangs linking back tk Romania ( which is what farage was talking about) is in no way as racist as saying you'd rather be ruled by a majority white e.u parliament over an Indian trade deal. Liz was racist. If you want to present Farage’s statement with context, shouldn’t you do the same with Liz? Surely you’re presenting a double standard yourself?

"Agreed liz webster is much more rasmcist. Using the team colony harks back to the days when we saw indians as lesser people. Reiterating her abhorrent view of calling them a colony. She doubled down by saying she would rather be ruled byt the predominantly white e.u. Disgusting suggestion." Really not seeing it. Colony is nowhere near as offensive?! | |||

"Indian is not a race, its a nationality." Does that mean that it's fine for someone to say that Indians are all lazy idle spongers, coming over here to take our jobs and milk our benefits system? After all, if they're not a race, it can't be racism, can it? | |||

Did say that, because its the same for that. Its not racist, xenophobic. But not racist. "There was the argument above about Farage being racist because of what he said about Romanians. I just wondered if that was cool, seeing as you didn't pick up on it. | |||

It is the most racially diverse country along with Brazil. It has people whose ancestors came from Africa, Europe, China and so on. Its like saying a British person of Caribbean decent is the same race as you. Because you are both British. Heres a clip from a website, not sure a link is allowed. The present population of the India has been divided into four racial groups- the Negritos, the Proto-Australoids, the Proto-Australoids, the Mongoloids, and the Mediterraneans. The Negritos were the first of the racial groups that came to India. | |||

So it's not possible to be racist towards black people then, since there is no 'black race', with Africans being made up of Bantu, Zulu, Hauza, Igbo, Nama, etc. | |||

Do know if this on purpose. | |||

"You seem to be mixing up nationality, race and ethnicity. Do know if this on purpose." I did ask you how you were defining 'race', and you chose not to answer. It's very difficult to have a discussion about race when the other side insists that his definition of 'race' is the right one, but won't tell you what it is. | |||

"I define races has Caucasoids, Negroids, and Mongoloids." That's a very old-fashioned way of looking at things. Division of all humans into either white, black, or yellow isn't a popular position these days. Neither is the idea that all people of one skin colour share common characteristics. Besides which, you were talking about Australoids earlier on. How do they fit into your classification system? | |||

Indians are part of a race thaybsint Caucasian. A race being discriminated against due their skin colour and beliefs. "policies, behaviours, rules, etc. that result in a continued unfair advantage to some people and unfair or harmful treatment of others based on race" They would be being descriminated against because they are Indian ( non caucasian) not that Indian is a race. I do actually describe further up the reasoning had you bothered to read the thread. | |||
