Why not ask the question why the song isn't racist and see if that can be answered? Why not try to get them to think rather than adopt an entrenched position in which they think its now a legitimate battle.

If you're going to persuade people their actions or thinking are wrong, you do that by selling your idea, not forcing it upon them

Think the wind and the sun in aesops fable. Read about Daryl Davies and how his approach to fighting racism (and other forms of bigotry) achieves stellar results.

Edit: the lord lieutenant of London called it right regarding tackling racism. Some people use words that are clearly benign in intention but are labelled racists. It stifles any kind of discussion or debate
The turban song is racist as it comes

I think you know that of course it is

And you were given an explanation as to why by loads of people on that record breaking thread

Rather than accept that you keep bleating like a lamb because your ego won't allow you to be wrong

Feck knows what happens when a doctor tells you it's bad news we have to take your kidney out

I feel sorry for the fecker , you will be arguing you are right despite overwhelming evidence that you are wrong till they shut the coffin

Clear the area !
