its disgusting..and people are very fast to throw these words/labels around which is just as wrong and offensive as being racist.
No, it isn't.
In a world obsessed with identity politics and claiming victimhood yes it very much is.
Perfect example look at the dinner lady who got suspended from her job because she went on the UK Against Hate march and her employers suspended her because they incorrectly thought it was an EDL march, from which they incorrectly inferred she was a racist and so they suspended her without pay. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-la ... e-40531321
I'm not saying this is or isn't the case in this instance, but WelshPatriot is absolutely correct when he says people are far to quick to throw such words around and when an accusation of being racist can lead to huge social stigmas including the possible loss of work it is just as serious as calling someone a racist name which whilst not nice is only going to cause upset not have any other impact on your life.
