/// Craft, I wish I’d have stayed away today too! ///
Then why didn't you, when you only spend your time dishing out false accusations of racism at myself.
/// Deciding what colour a person is by the sound of their voice? ///
This was in reply to accents, and it is a fact that one can sometimes notice a persons origin or race from their accent, London, Newcastle, India, black, Chinese etc etc. but this is only a loose generalisation because you can get some black/Asian/Chinese people who come from say Birmingham that speak in a fluent Brummie accent.
/// Choosing between black and white athletes? ///
This again was testing sp1814's allegiance to British teams, black or white.
/// Normal people just don’t think like that. Unbelievable!! ///
And 'NORMAL' people don't look into all things as racist, get a life.
But why I should waste my time explaining things to the likes of you, but maybe perhaps it may make the more balanced ABer understand.

Re: the athletics question. I support Team UK. If Team UK isn't represented in an event, I don't bother watching it.
If Team UK is competing in an even where Jamaica is also represented, I support Team UK, but if Jamaica wins I also celebrate, because that's where my family is from. If Team UK wins, then I also celebrate.
It's having two bites of the cherry.
What you, and formerly Norman Tebbit seem to be suggesting (correct me if I'm wrong) is that black and Asian Brits are not loyal to the country.
Is that what you mean?
Would you say that to the many young black British men and women currently serving in the forces?
Would you say that to Beharry Johnson?
Is he not British?

just for the record, someone suggested these isles were only inhabited a relatively short time ago, we are not talking of the Romans, Normans, Vikings either, this is from wiki, the whole piece is too long to print, but you get the idea. of course it's unlikely that one can take their ancestry back so far, but at least there were humans of one type or another in Britain. I believe there is a test you can take involving taking DNA
sample if one wanted to trace one's lineage, some may be shocked as to where that could possibly be, Asia, Africa, crossing over into Nordic lands, people did travel far and wide after all.
Britain has been intermittently inhabited by members of the Homo genus for hundreds of thousands of years, and by Homo sapiens for tens of thousands of years. DNA analysis has shown that modern humans arrived in Britain at least 25,000 years ago, before the end of the last glacial period. This evidence also shows that as the last glacial period encroached from the north, the first humans living in Britain then retreated to Southern Europe when much of the continental land mass of Britain became covered with ice or frozen as tundra.

whilst some have got their proverbial knickers in a twist over words, NJ response does seem rather a strange one coming from someone who is usually so careful. However someone on here said they wouldn't be bothered if the white British were in the minority, so it works both ways.
this was a gruesome crime, and people are dead, that should have been the main part of the post, story. Not sure why it got into a slanging match

AOG, I used to think I was 'pure British stock' because my father did not tell me that his father was an Irish immigrant who in turn came from a line of immigrant/invaders from the low countries.
A pale skin doesn't prove anything, having ancestors that arrived in Britain before sp doesn't make you more British unless we go into counting generations, which raises another lot of questions.

fair summing up i would say,

i always believed that the British in Britain were from Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England. It doesn't make mention of colour as far as i can see, nor i remember.
sp1814 - why are you always so abrasive and notably argumentative. Clearly you have decided to deviate from the original topic here.
If you need to play the racist card why don't you use your own thread - or better still use a different website?
A reminder of the AB site rule which clearly states: do not post material that discriminates on grounds of race, gender, age or religion, nor link to websites that do so. Yes, it says 'nor link to websites that do so'.
You well and truly contravened that.

Regarding deviation from the subject, please look at the first page of this thread.
The question was about the arson attack.
I didn't bring nationality into it, New Judge, bazwillrun and Snafu03 did.
Furthermore, are you REALLY suggesting that I should delete my AnswerBank account???
Really?
What an odd thing to say.
Because you don't agree with my argument...rather than ignoring the thread which you obviously have no interest in, instead, you will read through the thread and suggest I take my business to another site.
Ha ha ha...
No, seriously...brilliant.
Just...brilliant.

sp1814 you ask - What the dickens are you talking about?
Well, you have clearly deviated from sandy's original question.
Also posted inappropriate link - not relative to the OP.
You also ask: ///And what website are you referring to?///
Any site you wish that allows racist comments. Surely you can find one.
