Norway wasn't a founding member that voted to leave primarily to avoid taking in immigrants
Easily the smuggest thing I've read in weeks
I laughed at someone using the UK as their example of race relations done right. I laughed because it's funny, because the UK is one of the most racist countries in the world. Slurs are not the only form of racism.
Where are you getting this shit from? It wasn't from my post, that's for sure.
Wasn't doing that. This was all about you picking one of the worst possible countries as your example of the alternative.
You have missed the point completely. UK isn't good but even given how bad you think it is, doesn't tolerate the slurs mentioned (the whole point of the post). I speak about it because I live here and I'm shocked people even debating that these words are fine.
What miraculous country are you from that is so free from racism?
In a nutshell, I've said these words not cool here and your contribution is effectively "your racist country is so bad. Don't talk". Not the most helpful contribution ever. Who hurt you?
I didn't say the UK was a bad country. Please stop making things up.
I didn't say my country was free from racism. Please stop making things up.
I didn't say that. Please stop making things up.
Nobody. Please stop making things up.
