Is it true that Britain has become more racist?

Journalists like their stories to fit into an accepted current narrative. With domestic politics dominated by concerns over Europe and immigration, and the rise of the far-right elsewhere in the EU, it is understandable that editors are alert to evidence of rising racism in Britain.

But today's figures are not evidence of rising racism. In fact, if anything, the trend is of flat or declining levels of self-reported racial prejudice.

The statistics come from the annual British Social Attitudes survey which, since 1983, has interviewed one or two thousand people and asked if they are "very prejudiced", "a little bit prejudiced" or "not prejudiced at all" against people of other races.

Adding together the "very" (3%) and "a little" (27%) figures from this year's survey produces a total of 30% - up from last year (26%) but well below the year before (38%).

Yes, the current figure is higher than the lowest figures ever recorded (25% in 2000 and 2001) but then you could equally argue it is well below the high point of 38% recorded in 1987 and 2011.

Is that being racist to a Muslim?



Anti-Muslim racism – Legislation or actions which, though not always or necessarily directed against the Muslim religion, effectively discriminate against people from Muslim communities.

Muslims are defined by their RELIGION you fucking mongaloid

It is impossible to be racist towards a MUSLIM on the grounds of him BEING a Muslim

You're so thick you've essentially wiped out racial and religious discrimination by trying to combine the two

Jesus H you're thick as two short planks

The definition is:

"A racist incident is any incident which is perceived to be racist by the victim or any other person."

We also have an agreement with ACPO that the police will identify a file that refers to a religiously incident.

We define a religious incident as:

"Any incident which is believed to be motivated because of a persons religion or perceived religion, by the victim or any other person."

Both definitions help in raising awareness of the racist or religious element in any offence right from the point of reporting, through investigation, up to and including any prosecution.

So a racial incident is based on race

And a religious incident is based on religion

So yes hating a Muslim because they are Muslim regardless of their race means it is impossible to be racist

You keep proving my point

Even your mate veya gets that race and religion are separate

Not being funny but I've met foreigners who speak English as a second language that have a greater command and understanding of the English language

You are as I suspect either a paki who has just discovered a dictionary or you are dyslexic or retarded or all three

You often accuse me of "having no reply" well that is true because most of the time I genuinely cannot understand what you're on about

Sometimes I ask for you to rephrase but most times I just laugh you off

I'm sure you will claim victory and I'm sure I won't notice

So you are saying Muslims cannot be victims of racism?

Really is that you excuse for when I constantly expose you ignorance?

So now to you a person is a Paki (racist terminology) from your woefull deduction skills as a detective if their English to you is poor. Which we know is a poor excuse to back track from your errors.

Now can a Muslim be the victim of racism?

Take your time

They can be, but then being Muslim is irrelevant since it would b simple racism and nothing to do with religion

Didge the excerpt you gave supports the distinction between race and religion and acknowledges that they are two separate entities

You are the only who cannot quite grasp your own evidence

So they can be but Muslim is irrelevant, even though it can be relevant to the crime also.
I can grasp the law and as seen and proven you cannot grasp the law where you claimed Muslims cannot be victims of racism, which you now make a U-turn on.

You cannot make it up how funny your replies are getting now ha ha ha ha

So basically you think a black Muslim abused for being black is more of a victim of racism than a black non Muslim abused for being black

Good job

I make typos as well

It's about your lack of understanding how the English language works

You add random shit into your sentences that makes it into mong code

Nope that is you being an ignorant fuckwit making things up to excuse why you are a fuckwit


Or it can be the person is being abused religiously as well as racially, which you still fail to comprehend why the terminology of:



Racist and Religious Crime.

Smelly is reminded me of the confused look of my nephew when I pretend to steal his nose.

Didge you're just backtracking and going forward and back again

A Muslim abused for being Muslim is not a victim of racism

Your own evidence supports this

You are now at a point that you're discrediting the evidence you provided

Amazing

Didge won't budge on this

The more you realises he screwed up the more he presses on screwing up

He is even ignoring his own evidence which differentiates between race and religion
