Am I racist?

In all seriousness. I've lost count of the number of times that claim has been made against me here and I'm interested what the general consensus is.

I have often expressed views of my own (which I'm fully entitled to do) which I can understand why some would think it was racist but whilst at times Ive made negative comments to wide demographic groups, there's very little difference between me saying I don't like bogus asylum seekers and they should be sent packing and saying I don't like English football hooligans apart fromt he fact their skin colour is different from my own.

I understand if anyone wants to vote anonymously but I am genuinely interested as to what people have to say.

i dont think you're racist. your posts have been based on governmental actions for the most part... i have not seen you speaking out against a certain nationality or summat

No, you are not a racist. Everyone has their views, and you just aren't afraid to express them no matter how politically incorrect they may be. Personally, I think that word is thrown around way too often these days.

I think you give those people too much credit if you let this bother you.

No, I don't think you are a racist. A cocky opinionated little B maybe, but not a racist.

I'm with Mouse and Spunkywho on this one Jim - you can be damn opinionated but you're not phobic about any particular minority. Government agencies perhaps lol - but not races.

It diesn't bother me and to quote an old chestnut. i'm not racist but.... I just want to see how other people view it.

This has a large part to do with Lunas rose accusing me of beign racist against jews but I find most people from israel have an auto defence mechanism whereas anything remotely anti- Israel is automatically anti semitist.

No Jim, I don't think you are racist.
You have strong opinions and express them. Nothing wrong with that. People with strong views are usually the people who get things done

No Jim, I don't think you are racist, I think you are Englishman.

Strange that considering I hail from Scotland.

But I digress.

I'm kidding

It's balkanian sense of humour.
