I thought your first post was really good T (the one just before the 'story') but trying to justify stuff using anecdotes is poor evidence for a point - every race has similar stories where they've been treated badly and it just gets into a tit for tat. Us Whiteys need to make work out how to talk about race, racism and religious groups without it turning into a Monty Python sketch sharpish because everyone else has got their pitch well marked out.
