Maybe if we just direct our hate towards all immigrants now....then we can do away with the "skin colour" thing

Why is it surprising that a black person can be biased towards a religion? I'd maybe understand some controversy about a black person being racist....

Surely making assumptions based on race, like the assumption a black person would be 'racist'*, is in of itself a pretty racist train of thought?

*Obviously it's not racism to have a go at muslims, as muslims are not a race, they are a religious group. It would surely be religious discrimination.

Ah...I see....it's not racism at all....she just doesn't like her religion?

If you want to really get your Guardian in a twist.

The lead in Verdis operatic version of Othello is very challenging and can only be sung by a handful of classical tenors. Most of whom are white.

The character Othello is a Moor, he's black, it's fundamental to the plot which is about his lack of acceptance as a stranger in a white society.

Traditionally therefore, the white singers playing the part of Othello have blacked up in makeup.

The latest version by the New York Met has a white guy singing the part of Othello but he is not blacked up.

So which bit should I be offended by?

1) A white guy playing Othello. But there aren't many (any?) black tenors capable of singing the part at that level.

2) A white guy blacking up to play Othello. But the fact Othello is black is fundamental to the plot.

3) A white guy NOT blacking up. Thereby removing the black guy from the story altogether.

Personally, I've met loads of black racists....and racists of other shades too. Like everything else, it's not down to the colour of a persons skin, it's what's inside their brains....or not........ and how they look at things, something a lot of folks seem to have problems getting their heads around. Maybe if we could turn people inside out, we'd end all the racial hatred Could get a bit messy though

It need to get sorted cos...as we're all aware....eventually, the colour of the average persons skin will equal out and we'll all be the same shade of brown anyway It's just a shame it won't be in my lifetime, it'll make things a lot simpler
