# Oooh political
I like it. Shame everybody thinks that complaining about the behaviour of other countries is racist. Oh well.

# Well yes but that's not the point
If a country is piling shit on another, surely it's fair enough to allow those people to make a point about it without them being called names.

# Agreed
but that cartoon is based on stereotyping asylum seekers not the behaviour of countries

# hmmmm
I thought complaining about people of other countries/races was racist, and complaining about the country itself was xenophobic?

# People from different countries...
...aren't necessarily different races and one country can contain many different racial and ethnic groups.

Hatred on the basis of skin colour (for example) would be racism, hatred on basis of nationality would be xenophobia.

I think.

# I don't see it as complaining about the actions of other countries...
...I see it as promoting a stereotype that people seeking asylum are all evil, dirty foreigners who come to this country to cheat the honest, hardworking Brits out of their jobs and money.

You know - a bit like the Tory pary manifesto.

# Must say
that I live near a few asylum seekers and there are plenty of them reinforcing this stereotype. However I guess you just dont notice the hundreds who keep themselves to themselves and get on with seeking asylum.

# Isn't the pic a bit more general than that?
I don't see any people in it. So you made the link between shit and asylum seekers :p

# Didnt notice
Any complaint about country behavior. Looked to me more like a rant about the behavior of individuals.
