I wonder how Dan S de Merengue defines (in plain English) the terms "race" and "racist" that he chucks around?

Emperor,
I've been accused of being unpatriotic just for asserting the fact that English is not the only language spoken in Australia. That's racist.

We are not legally obliged to speak English. Saying that to be a true patriot of this nation you need to be a (fair skinned) English speaking monolingual is racist.

Dear Dan S de Merengue, mhaze and Mr Opinion

If you three are to waste the web space of this site trading blows which have nothing to do with the content I suggest you spare us the boredom of your insecurities and either:
1. Get a room together and work it out nicely
2. Join Facebook where you can message one another constantly with love or not
3. Increase your medication.

As a new subscriber to the Forum I'd hope for a less personal and more considered analysis of whatever is being discussed. As a woman I'm pretty disgusted that I get email alerts every hour telling me that you three boys are simply scratching at one another again.
Grow up.
Robin

Dear RobJ,
Please, take a chill pill.

My comments regarding language relate directly with the (xenophobic) comments made within the content of the article itself.

Phil Dye - "If the dominant population of English speakers can't understand what is being said by a group who are not just over-represented in crime statistics but solely represented in terrorism news, then our first response is to mistrust it."

I am not surprised that Dan S de Merengue won't admit he (along with dhimmis who use the same stratagem) is using the term "racism" with which to label open opposition to the most bigoted religion on earth in order to silence this open opposition by calling it something (racism or xenophobia) which such opponents are not and don't want to be held to be. So he ducks spelling out in plain language how he defines "race" or "racism".

So cm'on, how do you define bigotry then?

Dear RobJ,

If we behaved the way you want us to do then The Forum would be dull and boring.
