I'm sorry to say that this time you are barking up the wrong tree.

It takes a lot of courage to stand up and say that ethnic Muslims in Britain are by and large poor quality people that do not benefit this nation in any way. I happen to have said this...

I dont see the problem with what he says, it is in my view riddiculous to sterotype in such a way, many lazy White Britains in my view could learn something for the work ethic of many muslims in my area. Am I being bigoted by saying that?

Why does "White" get a capital when "muslims" doesn't? :-)

In the case of “White” being capitalised it is to indicate that the word has a specific meaning beyond it’s normal use, that is to describe a colour.

Since none of us are actually white in the true sense of the word it is correct to write White.

As to why Muslim is NOT capitalised, that could be simply a “typo”, a thing that most of us are guilty of from time to time.

In the case of this complaint I must side with the originator.

The statement by DC that

“It takes a lot of courage to stand up and say that ethnic Muslims in Britain are by and large poor quality people that do not benefit this nation in any way. I happen to have said this...”

Is offensive in every possible way, and moreover utter rubbish.

"It takes a lot of courage to stand up and say that ethnic Muslims in Britain are by and large poor quality people that do not benefit this nation in any way"

is opinion, not stated as fact. This is a discussion forum and needs to have people posting their views without fear of censure providing they steer clear of racism or clear discriminatory statements.

You may view it as bigotry - fair enough, but last time I looked being a bigot isn't a crime.

Complaint not upheld. Thread locked.
