Marcus Rashford -Racist tweets

Re: Marcus Rashford -Racist tweets

Why do people naturally assume that the people posting these things are from the UK?

The racist tweets I've seen directed at Rashford suggest otherwise.

Does that make it any better?

Re: Marcus Rashford -Racist tweets

I agree with you. Are people more likely to hold views most consider offensive these days? I tend to think not, but social media especially allows those who hold racist views to get them out into the public domain easier and the more this happens, the more people notice them and so things snowball. I'd also say that since the 2016 Referendum, some racists have become emboldened because they believe, wrongly in my view, that more people share their views than they thought.

It’s the anonymous accounts that are 100% the problem on all forms of social media.
If people had to give full name and ID to register, they could be easily identified and arrested.
I’m sure if members of this board had to do the same, there would far less insults and vitriol.

If nobody was born racist then surely there would be no racism?
Also for a Liberal you are making a broad generalisation of people.
I know parents who are good people but have had a bad apple among their children plus terrible parents whose children have been a credit to society.

well study after study by psychologists show kids play together happily , irrespective of colour

Its when they are influenced by other children or parents or as they get older friends or the media that they form racist opinions

If my aunty had bollocks she would be my uncle

If you don't think a proportion of society is racist and will remain racist till they die then with respect I think you are living in a dreamworld

For a topic that's well discussed, I must admit "babies are born racist" is a new take for me

Some people grow up to be bad people.
Murderers don't see a murder then go on to murder someone so not sure of your point?

So the people responsible for the widely reported rise in UK hate crime after the 2016 Referendum were not from the UK?
