...but the thing is, if you take out any culture/religion etc and put it aside for one moment... it's been part of what has been accepted in this country for many decades to have single sex education establishments...all boy schools/all girl schools etc and within that, many single sex social events...obviously it's been a personal choice for a parent, if they've felt that, that's what they have wanted for their child/children ..but that choice has been there for them and it's segregating, surely..?...it's just not segregating on culrural/religious beliefs....so if this was to be objected to on the grounds specifally of culture/religion and for that reason alone or that reason primarily..?..then surely, by definition, it would be racist/showing prejudice against beliefs..?.... |
It's not racist to be against a religion.It would be racist if you were against people because they were of Arab descent but not to be against their religion.
