I think someone should take a look at K-P's behaviour in this thread..

I've flamed him myself in temporary loss of composure; but am willing to concede it was wrong and accept the consequences if someone at least casts an eye over the thread.

How is that racist? Indian is not a race. Brazilian is not a race. Contrary to some peculiar delusion, "Red Army" is not a race.

He's suggesting that soldiers from India and Brazil are more inclined to commit atrocities than soldiers of other nationalities.
Perhaps you can explain how that is not racist?

Other than the fact that neither Indian nor Brazilian are races...?

I think you are confusing the words race and ethnicity; they don't mean the same thing.
Ethnicity is a biological term, race is a socio-political construct founded on notions of ethnicity and heritage, amongst other things.
So Prince Philip wasn't being racist when he said a dodgy fuse box 'looked like it had been put in by an Indian' was he?

The poster was referring to the nationalities, and the problems of large armies. http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10923758&postcount=35
And no, I don't think Prince Philip was actually being racist, although it was offensive.

Forum ban of 7 days has been issued to Kievan-Prussia for the comments on sexual violence. The rest isn't racist.
