New Racism
Aug 16^th, 2018 at 6:11pm

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_racism

New racism is a term coined in 1981 by Marxist professor of film Martin Barker, in the context of the ideologies supporting Margaret Thatcher's rise in the UK, to refer to what he believed was racist public discourse depicting immigrants as a threat. New racism can be described as "more indirect, more subtle, more procedural, more ostensibly nonracial". New racism suggests to have some sort of new strength because it does not appear to be racism. New racism relies more heavily on manipulation of ideas within mass media and to reproduce and disseminate the ideologies needed to justify racism. These new techniques present hegemonic ideologies that claim that racism is over. It is also transnational; one can now have racial inequality that does not appear to be regulated by the state to the same degree. Globalization, trans-nationalism, and the growth of hegemonic ideologies within mass media provide the context for a new racism that has catalyzed changes within African, Black American and African-Diasporic societies.

The grey area, folks.

No, it's not and I'll tell you why.

See, you say that 'not all cultures' are equal. Likewise I say that all discrimination is not equal.

Nazism is different. We obliterated it in a World War and prosecuted its ideology to the fullest extent. Discrimination against Nazis and nazism is perfectly acceptable due to these facts.

No other ideology has been prosecuted and obliterated to the same degree; nor has one caused so much destruction and suffering as Nazism.

Not all bad ideologies are equally bad, FD.

Yes! You tools are fantasizing 'uncontrolled' mass migration. I notice Freediver was very careful not to mention Muslims, blacks, Arabs, and Asians. Freediver doesn't consider mass migration of white people as undesirable.

So if a group is minority you mustn't discrtiminate against them just on that single basis???

You must have a valid reason - they must have broken the law, for example. We live in a tolerant, Parliamentary Democracy, Soren. As long as all they do is spout nonsense, we cannot legally discriminate against them for exercising their right to Freedom of Speech (as implied in the Australian Constitution). If they actually, however decide to act upon their beliefs and attack their fellow Australians, then you can discriminate against them and charge them and lock them up or deport them (if non-Citizens). So, you're lucky, we cannot deport you for being a Fascist Dane. Tsk, tsk. Roll Eyes

They make up a small minority of all Muslims, but the Wahabbis influence is huge.

Are you OK with this?
