# Why
is this racist?

A racist post is one that would say 'all black people are horrible'. This post simply states facts. What is wrong with you people?

Maybe you are racist because you give this a negative connotation?

# Urm..
because the compo is basically being interpreted as "state how your town is shit"

Thus this post infers that leicester is shit because of its immigrant population, and is therefore racist. It's not fucking rocket science.

# TBF
I think this is more jingoism than racism.

# Think about how a "reasonable person" would interpret the OP
I very much doubt whether any "positive" or "humourous" defence would wash.

Jingoism? Nope (which is externalised, not internalised chauvinism).

Carry on the debate but truly you are on a hiding on this one. I'll defend the OPers right to post but reserve right to call a spadist a spadist. If it dies like a swan, it's probably H5N51. QEfuckingD.

You are a demi-troll, AICMFP

# Knee-jerk reaction to the word "ethnics"
Mainly because people who use the word use it in a negative way. May not always be true, in the same way that shaven-headed blokes with union jack T-shirts aren't always vicious, bigoted thugs.

Ironically, if LE7'd used the word "darkies", people probably wouldn't have been so upset. Or not. Meh, I don't know.

# But if you're going to lampoon Leicester do so
fairly, also state that the racist NF was formed from there.
