Wish i had a quid for every time i've had to cite the rr act or the unchr to every plank that claims being anti muslim isn't being 'racist'Yes, the racists do tend to try and wiggle out of it by arguing the technicalities.
However, since the Race Relations Act in the 1960's any abuse on grounds of race, religion, ethnic origin, nationality etc is prosecuted as racism and called racist.
It's been this way in this country for over 50 years.
Racists are as yet to catch up.

Genuine question - Which bit of the RRA covers religion?Wish i had a quid for every time i've had to cite the rr act or the unchr to every plank that claims being anti muslim isn't being 'racist'
I'm not looking for an argument here; just clarification.
It is the Equality Act 2010 which subsumed or replaced the previous legislation:Wish i had a quid for every time i've had to cite the rr act or the unchr to every plank that claims being anti muslim isn't being 'racist'

(1)Race includes—(a)colour;
(b)nationality;
(c)ethnic or national origins.
(2)In relation to the protected characteristic of race—
(a)a reference to a person who has a particular protected characteristic is a reference to a person of a particular racial group;
(b)a reference to persons who share a protected characteristic is a reference to persons of the same racial group.
(3)A racial group is a group of persons defined by reference to race; and a reference to a person's racial group is a reference to a racial group into which the person falls.
(4)The fact that a racial group comprises two or more distinct racial groups does not prevent it from constituting a particular racial group.
(5)A Minister of the Crown F1...—
(a)[F2must by order] amend this section so as to provide for caste to be an aspect of race;
(b)[F3may by order] amend this Act so as to provide for an exception to a provision of this Act to apply, or not to apply, to caste or to apply, or not to apply, to caste in specified circumstances.
(6)The power under section 207(4)(b), in its application to subsection (5), includes power to amend this Act.

wouldnt you think if you took 100 practicing Catholics and 100 practicing Muslims the outcome of how many were anti the other would be very similar ? The racism and prejudice is from both sides surely
I just used catholics as an example
Because this isn't an ongoing legal case. He's giving evidence to a select committee hearing.how come we can talk about this case and not have a locked thread?

Seems a bit strange using a period of 40-50 years ago to show that a place hasn't moved on and using a football ground to be representative of a whole county isn't really reasonable either. Lots of football grounds had similar issues in the 70s and 80s.Anyone who doesn`t believe that Yorkshire (not limited to the County Cricket Club) has a racism problem never went to Elland Road in the 70s and 80s. It`s an area of Britain that hasn`t moved on.
No doubt there are still some racism issues in parts of Yorkshire, just like there are in other parts of the country. On the whole though, I'd say it is a lot better now than in the 70s and 80s.
