good to know you yanks still racially profile people, personally I couldnt care less what race someone is, we are all human you silly people.

The story I linked to is from your country. It seems some people in the UK find it interesting.

Daily Fail readers, sure, but most of them are racist anyway, so I avoid them and there paper like the plague.

So you lump all the readers of a site into one group, and then make a generalized assumption about them all.

Good thing you're not racist.

just read some of the articles and comments, in fairness probably not all of them are, just many, many of them, and no, im not racist, not liking bigots is not the same as racism, if you think it is, then let me know so I can leave this thread as clearly you are not worth my time.

Racism is just making generalization about people based on uneducated guesses. For example, I would think 8 out of 10 people in most major cities in the US that commit crimes are black. They happen to also be poor. Poor people commit more crimes then middle class and above. Committing a crime as nothing to do with skin color.

But if you live in a middle class neighborhood, turn on the news, and every day you see black people committing crimes, your mind makes an inaccurate link based on incomplete data, and you make a poor judgment call.

You just did the same thing, but not based on race. You made a generalized  judgments about a group of people (in this case readers of a website) based on incomplete info, and then applied it to most everyone in the group.

You have the same personality trait a racist does, you just didn't apply it based on color. Millions of people read that site, I am sure less then 1% posts anything. To call all those people racist, or even most of them, just because they visit that site, is a form of bigotry.
