Thats exactly what i was thinking. :p
"More people from ethnic minorities must be stopped and searched if Britain is to win the fight against violent crime"
Im not racist by any means but he said what we were all thinking. Sadly no one has the balls in this country to stand up and say it |
Well, technical it is racist because it discriminates based on race.
However, weather or not it is racist or not
isn't a issue.
The term "racism" is full of negative connotations that do not always apply to it.
Racism is not always a bad thing in it's self.
The issue is weather it is moral or not. (and perhaps weather it is effective or not).
It's one of those moral issues that asks us to chose between a small evil and a
greater evil.
Or to put it another way, should we give up the liberty of being able to walk
around with out the police searching us because of the colour of our skin in order to
gain the security of not being stabbed/mugged/etc.?
Giving up a liberty to purchase a safety eh?.....:hmm:
I wonder if anyone has a nice quote about that...
.
That said; I haven't made up my mind on this issue yet.
