As I type this, I don't really know what the purpose of this thread is. Maybe it's some kind of cry for help: "Help me, I'm becoming racist". Or maybe I just wanted to express my feelings regarding a scary and disturbing evolution of our society and of myself.
I understand what the purpose is. I feel exactly the same. Except that I am less singularly obsessive about Arabs - I have issues with West Africans too.

Much to my own surprise, I've turned into a frustrated, petty bourgeois racist. As have a lot of other people.


Sad, isn't it?
