Stop being a drama queen. You gave us your opinion, you get other people's opinions in return. If you can't handle that then stfu. There's no need for the persecution complex, I'm not picking on you because you are white.

Bullied? Do people even know what the word means anymore?

So, what, wait, is someone upset because they're racist and someone else pointed out that it's not ok?

Yup, Baly has become offended, we should make a law about it, so nobody can become offended!  I agree that people shouldn't be negative about other people, though I think people need to toughen up. As the Steve Hughes said on Michael McIntyre's comedy road show: "When did 'Sticks and stones may break my bones' stop being relevant?", and he's right, just take offence to it, but don't make a law to stop a group of people being offended.

Actually, we already have quite a few laws that are designed to stop a group of people being offended. We just don't seem to apply them uniformly. They're an odd bunch of laws to be fair. The people who objected most vehemently to them were the kind of white middle class liberals that you'd assume would be all in favour of things that promoted 'multiculturalism' - in fact of course those same people were the ones who realised most quickly that they basically meant a curtailment of freedom of speech and nothing more.

bally I wouldn't worry about it, the good majority of British people are inherently racist, they just don't care to admit it in public. Speak to them behind closed doors however, and you get a lot of "not being funny..." or "I'm not racist but..." or "Enoch was right...".
Someone holding racist views doesn't really bother me. It's when they act on those views and harm other people that really grates with me. We're all human after all.
