Couple accused of racism after complaining about travellers
25th March 2009
“Travellers” are what the Brits call gypsies and other itinerant riff-raff, very roughly equivalent to the American concept “white trash”.
An elderly couple who complained in a survey about mess left behind by travellers’ groups have been told their comments will be ignored because they were deemed to be racist.
Although “travellers”, like “Muslims”, aren’t a race — but that really doesn’t matter, these days; “racism” is merely a convenient term to use for “not liking a politically fashionable fringe group”.
