Define a 'multi racial' society? There is only one race. The Human race. We could be defined by our Colour, Culture, Nationality and Religion. Religion.., is a point of view, a personal chosen belief.Nationality, relates to the place we were born, stated on our passports.Culture, the way we choose to live our lives, influenced by many things, a way of life and values in an area/place.Colour, self explanitory, we are all diferent colours but our colour does not link us to any of the above, not all white people have the same cultures, nationalities or religions, neither do black people. Asians etc. There is colour predjudice, religious predjudice, cultural predjudice and predjudice against nationalities. None worse than the other. I believe you need to be more specific than to blanket everything under this over used and non discriptive 'racial' or 'racist' word.Robin, you may be right in saying that this other person, you wont name, is culturaly, and religiously predjudice, but maybe you need to look at why people, not just him/her feel this way. Maybe they have a point, maybe they feel that thier culture is being eroded? You are being niave if you dont realise some people do have predjudice towards the british culture, and religion. Infact two years ago in my local school it was suggested that the christmas fate was changed to winter fate so as to be more inclusive. There was alot of anger about this and the idea was dropped. Why do you never see these things? I think if someone believes that thier culture is not being respected by other cultures then they have a right to say so without being labled 'racist' by you. British people, irrespective of colour want to keep thier culture, if they dont stand up for it they be left with no 'core' culture. Maybe you think thats not a bad thing? I disagree, I have no predjudice against other cultures but i wish to be allowed to keep a Britsh culture in Britan respected and followed by everyone that chooses to live here, as i would bend to any culture depending where i lived. I am first generation imigrant. I'm not a daily mail fan and i'm quite happy for all people to celebrate thier religious festivals. If one nationality had been asked for thier background stories it would have been accepted, but to pick out 4 nationalities and ignore other immigrants has probably, and rightly so, been seen as predjudice in many ways. What and where is westside radio anyway? Who do they target as listeners? I've never heard of them.
