Funnily enough, I can't ever remember anyone stating that, especially on CF (except for those who use the statement as a straw man

)

It doesn't even have to be Carribean vs African, I know a few African people who won't deal with each other because of country or tribal factions.

Woah. Punky is back! No longer a mod?

And on topic, No one with any sense thinks racism is white on black only. Although that does not mean White on Black racism no longer exists either

In your opinion - I don't know anyone who thinks that racism can only be white against black, and strangely enough, as CF seems fairly representative of a wide cross-section of the UK, you would have thought that if it was a "dominant view with a great many people in the UK", it would have been mentioned.

Or is that too logical?

When white people in Dover started waving placards complaining about the bad behaviour of Iraqi Kurds they were portrayed as being racist, whereas when there were mini-riots in Peterborough between Pakistanis and Iraqi Kurds, with the Pakistanis complaining about the bad behaviour of Iraqi Kurds, the local Labour MP said that something should be done about the Iraqi Kurds.

White people waving placards = racist, Pakistanis violent behaviour = not racist.

Who is seen to be and who is more likely to be called racist in this country white people or people from other ethnic groups and that is certainly the case as i have always seen it. Racist is a term that is certainly applied to more white people then any other group and even on these forums it is a lot easier for a declared white member to be called racist then any other group.

White people have a massive majority in the UK. They are also much more common is positions of power. Thus accusations of racism from white people is like to be 1) more common 2) more complained about

Also on this forum we do hear a lot of racist comments against muslims and immigrants so it comes into it.
