Why Isn't This Considered Racist?

Why are Britons taking spending cuts stoically while the French storm the barricades? - By Anne Applebaum - Slate Magazine

Because Brits and French are near enough identical racially - Doh!

But if they WERE different racially, then the Slate article would be on dodgy ground, of course. Just as I would be on dodgy ground if I were to quote figures relating to differences in murder rates as between European countries on the one hand and African or Carribean countries on the other. I won't quote any figures, because it is important not to speak the truth.

I.e. the politically correct don't like free speech any more than did Stalin or Saddam Hussein.

You make an interesting point. As you travel from, say, England to Zimbabwe, at what country's borders is the line drawn? Can you not compare the Italians with the Slovenians? The Turks with the Syrians? The Ethiopians with the Somalis?

Because it is raaaaacist if you dare question or condemn Obama.

It is not raaaaacist if you dare question or condemn Pelosi or Reid.

See?

The trouble is you are trying to impose rational thought on irrational beings. It won't work. It's an exercise in frustration.
