I am just wondering how two people arguing about whether to speak in English or French has anything to do with racism.

Personally I was thinking about naked witches dancing around a camp fire. Clearly, I have better things to do with my time.

I guess it depends on your definition of racism or which dictionary version you choose to read and then see if this situation applies.
The same can be argued about 2 x applicants applying for a job and the one who doesnt get it claims racism.

I think you will find that all dictionaries will make some passing reference to prejudice based on race, unless Im missing something:confused:

Its a prejudice based on dialect. <Insert scouse joke here>

I can't, I'm on my iPhone, can some one else do it please. I've only heard the audio track on 640am and they said it was a racist action on the part of the Quebec meet and greeter.

Yes all the definitions I read basically say that.
So based on that a Scouser can be racist to a Geordie then?
