1. You imply racism has a static or agreed upon definition; when in reality it is constantly in flux and its meaning is at best culturally relative. 2. The notion that personal prejudices somehow equates to institutional racism.

It is not how you treat those you love or care for, it is how you treat those you don't know and/or dislike, that is the real acid test. I don't know if this woman is genuinely racist, or him for that matter, I just don't think having a black boyfriend would make a difference. I don't think you can call him a misogynist based off that video either. A childish hothead who needs to learn to control himself maybe, but not a misogynist. Just my opinion |

I watch the video and really couldn't hear much, but what I heard was the guy picking on her. I don't see why she should be called a racist, for being a victim of his beratement? He was the complaining about how she dressed, and at the end called he a bitch and a escort. I am assuming he was the one who was throwing the punches too, not a freind of his or a by-stander. After she was insulted and assualted he was the one crying for a barrister and witnesses. I don't know what the catalyst was to the argument proabably over nothing, and it obviously escalated. But in the beginning of it he should keep on keeping on and mind his own business.

Any reason why somebody should be called a black idiot instead of just an idiot? An idiot's an idot regardless of their cultural identity, so why even bring the cultural element into the issue. It's now become socially unacceptable for people to discriminate on race or colour here and to make discriminatory remarks, so unless somebody has been living under a rock here they should be aware of this. If I look at your second point, that's very much stagnation of a society in action, because it allows these personal prejudices to fester and go unchecked. It also depends on how you see the role of society as well.

"I dress poor so I don't get robbed by people like you" Once she said those, she's fair game in terms of verbal abuse imo. She wasn't a victim until she made herself a victim with the above comments tbh. Can't talk to someone like that and expect to get away with it. - They get on the tube - She claims he stepped on her foot - Argument commences - She makes an arguably racist comment - He returns one - He claims she threw a bottle at him - Punches are thrown |

Well, what really needs to be done throughout Europe to effectively address the situation is to shut down the mass immigration policies, and ship all of the Africans and Arabs back to their countries of origin as soon as possible. Mass immigration is absolutely destroying most of our beautiful Northern and Western European nations within a very, very short period of time.
The worst thing is, it's intentional. The intellectuals and the elite politicians in individual nations and the EU are deliberately seeking to permanently deconstruct Europe and everything it means to be European. As if there is something inherently "wrong" with being a white European.
