Is it trendy to be anti-racist?

Whilst I'm completely against racism, I'm also against people piping on about it all the time. I bring this up after reading Oliver Holt's latest column in the Mirror where he admittedly makes some good points. The trouble is, he makes the same points daily and occasionally some ludicrous ones too, my personal favorite coming last year where he cited racism as the cause of tactical genius Terry Connor's unpopularity at Wolves.

For a lot of people, is it more about being seen to be anti-racist and therefore a good person than it is fighting something they just feel that strongly against?

You probably have a point there. In the case of football managers, both Connor at Wolves and Ince at Blackburn, were sacked because of results. Colour doesn't come into it as far as I am concerned.

It's a hot button with the "immigration debate" front and centre and there are a lot of interesting debates.

I wouldn't say it was "trendy" but people like Ollie Holt are just publicity seekers. There's been a move in the press to just troll readers for hits and comments now that news is basically fully online.

look at the Liz Jones, Samantha Brick articles for an example, people like littlejohn and Peter Hitchens have been doing it for years, now they have a wider audience.

These people sit at their desk and think "what would stir up a load of silliness on twitter? Oh racism is a good one!"

Oliver Holt is Emily Bishop's lad.

I bet a lot of people didn't know that but now they do.

I can't bare to read his articles because of his style.

I don't know if it's editorial but why does he write.

which one is the racist.

Great, another thread about racism.

How trendy.

It might be cheaper if the Government gave Luton it's own independence as a secular Sharia state. That way, they could exclude all their benefits and housing allowances.

I suspect it will be well reasoned and persuasive.

The most racist rhetoric spouted week in week out is in your local Mosque ! ! They hate us with a passion and all we stand for. Strange as some of you might think I am no more Racist than the next man,I am however slightly intolerant when things like yesterday happened,think it will be Saturday or Sunday when all the handwringers start popping up saying it wasnt their fault etc etc we must be christian etc etc Hope neither of them is Gay or that lot will start as well !!!!

So do you believe every Muslim supports what happened yesterday then? And they preach all preach racism and hatred week in week out at the local mosque??

Problem is I think you probably believe that, have you considered joining the EDL? Seems full of like minded people.

Not sure if it's 'trendy' to be anti-racist, but it's definately Politically Correct.
