I'm not racist but ... : Comments

By Graham Ring, published 5/3/2007

Politics can become pretty exhausting after a while. So here is a little folk tale to help lighten things up.

TrueAussueredneck,

Unless you can provide scientific / biological evidence of a link between ‘race’ and a predisposition to ‘crime’ to back your pathetic question I’m not going to bother indulging it.

Why? Because this link is fundamental to your assertion and the direction you want to steer this discussion. But that’s not all - you think you’re so damned clever that you want me to engage in this kind of discussion and thus validate its relevance (as well as your own racism). Sorry, didn’t come down in the last shower, been here a long time actually so do you own dirty work mate.

Moreover, I can only imagine that taking you along to Muslim communities must be a right pain in the backside for your good wife.

I bet she has had to whisper ‘shut up’ to you ever time you put your big true Aussie foot in your big true Aussie mouth.

Please say hello to her for me, tell her I reckon she deserves better

As a non-white i have had the same comments made about me being ok, but the others they don't like. Loved the article.

Rainier,
“Why is it that those who have never really experienced racism on a continual basis always profess to be experts on when or where racism happens?”

Please tell us what special insight(s) you have which allows you to determine that others have not experienced racism on a continual basis?

“And white Anglos only represent 19 % of the world's population and despite their historical record of being involved in some the most racist atrocities 99 % of them are not racist,(just ask them)”

I would think that white Anglos are no more prone to commitment atrocities or be racist than any other group…

“Unless you can provide scientific / biological evidence”, To propose otherwise, would be racism -and we know your not racist don’t we !

Go figure!
( but in view of some of your earlier determinations -please use a calculator!)

When we talk about racism why do we forget Tutsi and Hutu, Turk and Kurd, and places like Dafur?

Yes, white Anglos can be racist, but we are not the only ones.

Now who's rattled, Rainier. Actually, I could be considered a pillar of my community. Liked and respected both as a person and as a professional by all in the places I have lived and worked. You keep trying to confuse me with something I'm not. Oh, for the record, my wife was a 'muslim' by birth and converted to christianity quite a few years before I met her. She is far, far more vocal than me on this subject (after all, ahe had to endure such lifestyle implications, albeit fairly liberal ones).
Keep trying mate.
