Thank you for your comments. I am quilty of using the term racist as shorthand for discrimination based on race.

The United Nations Convention on the Elemination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination states:

"the term "racial discrimination" shall mean any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent,or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life"

I hope that clarfies my position.

Regards
Nick
