Racism Watch

Suggesting that Afghanistan may in certain respects not be at the cutting edge of modernity is racist now.

Which is good to know.

Disrespectful perhaps, racist? I don't think so asd in any case most of Afghanistns troubles stem from it not really being a nation state at all, it's just what got left over after Russia and Britain played the Great Game in Central Asia, a mishmash of disparate ethnically diverse tribes whose loyalty is to themselves and not central government.

I'm glad you told me that. Only the other day I described Afgh as 'totally backward' but I won't be making that mistake again. Phew!

The whole middle East is as backwards as eating pig shit.

Where els would someone force women to wear a bin bag in public, and call it "freedom"?

Mark- surely "Totally" backward is "yllatot".

"Where els would someone force women to wear a bin bag in public, and call it "freedom"?"

In about 5 years- Bradford I expect.
