It’s so refreshing that racism is back in fashion, and we no longer have to obscure our prejudices. For most of the past two decades, we had to pretend that our racism was all about ideology and had some intellectual basis.
“My only beef is with Muslamic extremism,” we’d say, certain that none could disagree. “I’m not racist,” we’d declare, while racially abusing brown people whatever their faith with anti-Muslim slurs.
At least we don’t have to keep up that pretence anymore. At last we can openly racially abuse charity workers, doctors and nurses without fear of repercussions, safe in the knowledge that our friends will cheer us on. What enlightened times to live in. Progress.
