I'm not racist, but ...

... I don't think they should be allowed to buy lottery tickets.

A work colleague told me that her boyfriend had said this, after the news that a British Asian guy had won a million on the National Lottery. Such a strange and surprising thing to volunteer out of the blue, during the daily watercooler chat.

She was obviously a little unsure about what he'd said, and was somehow seeking validation for his views. I expressed my surprise, but didn't want to get into a fight in the middle of the office.

What examples have you encountered ?

Whenever you hear the words: ‘I’m not a’, you can guarantee that they will be followed by persuasive evidence that the speaker most definitely is whatever they are denying being.

I am a grammar NAZI, and proud of it.

 

Perhaps the person referenced was not a rascist, although he certainly appeared to be racist.

Well, well, well ...

A pub being investigated for an alleged hate crime over the display of racist dolls has closed for business after a boycott by three of its suppliers. Heineken, Carlsberg and Innserve cut ties with White Hart Inn, which had golly dolls confiscated as part of police investigation.

... compared the dolls to lynchings in Mississippi and expressed backing for far-right groups ... will be interviewed by police when he returns from Turkey, where the family have a holiday home.

Camra (the Campaign for Real Ale) said it was reviewing how it granted the White Hart several awards and a place in its guide which highlighted the pub’s “extensive collection of old-fashioned soft toys”. (!!)
