non-whites can often be extra touchy with comments, I think you will find a lot of it dates back from the days of the slave trade, the empire, and the days when european society treated them as 2nd class. politicians (mainly labour and lib-dem) love this idea of a multiracial society but nobody has asked if anybody wants it! anti-racism laws were designed to protect minorities, but in many areas, the minority has now become the majority, and the feeling of opression has been transferred from non-white to white in many cases, hence the rise of the BNP. Personally i think its fine to hate anybody you like, as long as you can live with your self, and as long as you can keep your opinions to your self, as you can be sure that somebody will always be offended by something you say, in this ridiculous politically correct Blair world that we live in!
