Hmm Camilla Send a noteboard - 21/06/2010 03:37:43 PM
I came across this article, which told me that HMV has stopped selling the Anyone But England t-shirts because they are ... wait for it ... racist and inciting "race hatred". Hmm.

Are we operating with a very wide definition of racism here? Surely that is not the word?


I would not have thought so - I would call it xenophobia myself.

However - ahahahahahahah :D Bring them over here, they'll sell in spades :D


Surely xenophobia would be directed at, say, Australians or the Chinese, rather than England. Isn't the whole point that they are too close to be acceptable?

It's sort of like people in 49 of the states hating New Jersey. that doesn't make us racist. *NM* Deadsy - 19/06/2010 02:33:49 PM 258 Views
