Sooo... Next time the unambiguous racism question comes up on a thread here, are people still going to deny it with a straight face?

This is classic stereotyping and the same reason little old ladies are scared of hoodies,...What you wear doesn't denote your intention.

Being against a Religion isn't racist, in this case what you're referring to is Islamophobia which is a Religious intolerance towards Islam and the Muslim followers which can consist of White, Black, and Asian people, especially of the latter two.

I disagree anyway; if the man in the picture was white and cleanshaven, even if he had a massive sign above his head saying "I am a Muslim", people would not be having the same reaction to this "hilarious" photograph. Therefore, let's call it what it is: not islamophobia, but negative, destructive stereotyping based on casual racism. |

And no it's never okay to be prejudiced, but having a joke about someone looking like a stereotype isn't really prejudiced, otherwise Seth MacFarlane would be prejudiced then and I don't think that his got a prejudiced bone in his body as he takes the piss out of prejudiced people in his shows. My main stance on this is that if his not gonna let the security see his luggage then he is a potential danger to the people on board so therefore can't go on, and of course it's not right, but it's only Human to feel paranoia about someone that's not showing his luggage to the security when his from a Religion that's got the biggest Terrorist Organisations around at the minute. However I also don't agree with Muslims being singled out negatively for following Islam, imo every Religion needs to stop being so radical so that we can get a more peaceful world. And of course I hope that the NE do these checkups on everybody and don't just single out Muslims.

It's perpetuating the stereotype, this thread is peppered with that, it could be considered casual racism too.

Or 'Opportunity Seizing' to make political capital and 'faux' drama out of nothing by certain factions.

I can understand where this logic comes from, it comes from the fear that ISIS is achieving at instilling in us. But at the end of the day, if I were on that bus, I would rather blow up into a million pieces then look at someones race, colour, attire, facial expressions, or any outward appearance and assume they were capable of horrible atrocities based on these factors. The day I do that is the day I know ISIS have stolen my personal liberties and freedoms. Some people would go to war to defend their freedom, and are willing to die at doing so. I would rather die assuming the best about people until proven otherwise. Call me naive.

Could he have not gone and got on another bus if that was his intention?

Doesn't everyone that doesn't show their luggage on any public transportation get thrown off?

The post I responded to was implying that we are all racist for suggesting the chap looked and behaved out of the ordinary. I stated my own reactions to similar situations, which are not racist in the slightest.

If this had been a white, drunken aggressive Englishman acting in the same manner and ejected accordingly, we would not even have this thread. Unless he also happened to have a gold crucifix around his neck, THEN we would have seen a barrage of posts THE MAJORITY CONDEMNING HIM AND PRAISING THE ACTIONS OF THE BUS COMPANY STAFF.

Who's implying anything? I'm outright stating that there are unquestionably racist posts in this thread.
