A recent survey shows that since 1970 Brits have accepted homosexuality, contraception, gender equality, premarital sex (remember that?). But sadly when it comes to racism we haven't moved on, and racists will justify their opinions any way they can. There's no such a thing as racism, and I'm not a racist, and you don't belong to a race and...
A drunk solicitor on train who told a woman she didn’t belong in first class – or this country, claims “I’m not a racist. Now she’s going to say I’ve insulted her.” Calls her “you and your f***ing son”. How can he think he’s not a racist? Because he genuinely thinks people like her “don’t belong in this country”. In his mind, he’s not a racist, he’s right.
The Irish were enslaved along with Africans? They were indentured servants, and 19th century Americans treated them as an underclass, but they were not slaves. The whole point of this distorted history is to justify prejudice against black people. Look, the Irish were slaves, and they don’t moan about it, therefore black lives DON’T matter.
Saying you’re English is racist, says Lawrence Llewellyn-Bowen.
Racists lost the argument over immigration, which is why they always have to present current immigration as somehow new and unprecedented. eg: "Yes, but this time it's the numbers"; "Yes, but this time they've got the wrong religion"; "Yes, but these ones aren't rich enough". (Daniel Trilling)
How odd folks are: "I'm not a racist because, although I targeted you on the basis of your colouring/ethnicity, you're not a distinct race." (Alex Andreou @sturdyAlex)
I’m not a racist because I’m not a bad person, some of my best friends are black, why are you so angry?, there’s no such thing as race, I’m colour-blind. (everydayfeminism.com)
Historians want to deprive white Europeans of their home!
There were no black people in Europe until recently, therefore there shouldn’t be any here now. They should all go away again. (A small number of people of African descent have lived here since the Romans.)
OK so there were black people in Roman Britain - but they were a tiny minority and therefore they don’t count!
I’m not going to stop having racist ideas or saying racist things or doing racist actions, but you can’t call me “racist” because it’s just as bad as racism.
It's racist to have a black presenter talking about lack of diversity on Radio 4.
The term 'racism' has no power any more.
You don’t understand our French/Danish sense of humour. We make fun of everybody. We’re making fun of the racists, really.
Racist. So overused it has lost all meaning. (Katie Hopkins)
Freedom of movement causes xenophobia.
Britain is racist because of the immigrants. (UKIP councillor Trevor Shonk)
The father of one of Stephen Lawrence’s killers is shown the video of his son making outrageously racist remarks. He continues saying “My son isn’t a racist. I know him better than you do. He wouldn’t say a thing like that.”
You’re the racist for talking about race (or racism).
If we all stopped talking about racism it would go away (“Hopefully, this isn’t your approach to fixing a leaky roof, changing a flat tire, or working out relationship problems”, someone commented.)
Racism doesn't exist because it has never happened to me or anybody I know.
Anyone who objects to racism is a snob who doesn’t understand the working class.
My ancestors didn’t make their way to this great country to have immigrants come in and take their jobs. (Donald Trump)
I’m not anti-Semitic, I'm anti Zionist; not racist but anti-immigration; not racist or misogynist but anti political correctness; not a racist but a proud nationalist.
There aren’t any anti-Semites. Saying and doing anti-Semitic things doesn’t make you an anti-Semite.
The Jews aren’t the only Semites, so I’m not an anti-Semite.
Anti-Semitism isn’t racism because Jews are white.
And if there IS such a thing as racism, white people are the real victims.
More illogic here.
