Would you say this kind of experience means that in general racism is an even field when it comes to all colours of skin/ethnicities or would you accept that in society people with white skin have it much easier when it comes to racism. And by racism I'm not just talking about overt racism (name calling in the street etc).

Again, racism doesn't mean that only one select group of people experience any one thing. It's discussing it at a societal level. White straight males are not a repressed minority. If by me saying that it offends you and makes you think I've said you're immune from hardship then that's a mindset you need to change, no one else, as the fact I stated in no way states that you have had an "easy" life.

Historically i admit with no reservations that black people has faced much, much harsher racism.

However my point is here is everyone needs accept racism and homophobia exists, it always will unfortunately. But the people fighting bigotry need not to isolate those on THEIR side because they happen to be a straight white male. Im not saying you, im not saying all, im saying a fair few of the people fighting for diversity exclude the white straight male, this shouldn't happen, i can assure you millions of straight whit males what their fellow man, woman and child to be accepted no matter race, religion and sexuality.

Some of the videos of seen of the extreme left being openly racist towards white people, whist demonstrating AGAINST racism is astounding. We'll never progress if we can't accept others differences, no matter what they may be.

You're saying im playing the 'im white it's all about me card' well you're absolutely wrong, im not playing a card here. Political correctness is nothing more than a joke now, it isolates people, it separates people, it is bad for progression, bad for a democratic society.

Imo opinion this 'white straight male' ideology adopted by a large section of the left (especially the over hypocritical middle class young voter) cost Labour big time. Good honest people are being told how they have life easy because of race, sexuality, when in reality this just simply isn't true.

We need to be united, we need to be accepting of one another, acceptance is key, and that works both ways.

edit - it's too late in the night to correct all those outstanding typo's, and im operating on a sleeping pill here.
