Dog Bites Man on Reality Show!

Is Britain a country of racists? Yes. Like every country in the entire world, it is. Now, back to work.

UPDATE: Sunny of Pickled Politics has some wise words on the matter (via Clive Davis):

A wise person once said – let the person who has not sinned cast the first stone. Similarly, let the Asians who are not racist against other races or xenophobic against other religions complain. I know their numbers aren’t that large.

I couldn’t agree more. I can’t believe some of the racist comments I hear when I go home. The next time British Jews cry Antisemitism, perhaps they should listen to what fellow members of the community say about other races and religions behind closed doors. And then think again.

Everybody’s a little bit racist.

Or, so says Avenue Q.

True, we all have our prejudices. But I’m talking about something a little bit stronger than that…
