    Repatriation of 'non-indigenous' Britons? Am I crazy or does that not sound at least mildly racist?
    It doesnt make everyone who supports the BNP racist, I mean i assume you support a political party of sort? i doubt you believe in every single policy they have whole heartedly. Same applies here.

    and nick griffin didnt specify 'non whites' non indigenous is a deliberately loose phrase. Ethnic poles, jews and italians can be seen as indigenous as many immigrated in the victorian era so theyve been here a good 200 years.

    Although Nick Griffin has a more biggoted view the term - hes racist. But not necessarily EVERY bnp supporter

    It's pretty difficult to tell whether or not all BNP supporters are racists, we simply don't know.

    i think you should have put a couple more options in there personally, some of them are undeniably a bunch of raving little hitlers but equally some may well not be ... you even come accross some ethnics in the party once in a while :rolleyes:

    although that being said i do remember an unfortunate encounter with a BNP activist at the station near my home once after he heard me and a friend bashing an MP ... he went on and on about how good the BNP was how it was an up and coming main stream party which wasnt racist ra ra ra he managed to close on what his job was [being a crane driver] but his most, im not quite sure how to describe it, statement about it was how he sits up on his crane all day 'watching all dem dirty ******* raping our little white girls' ... words do not describe the low calibre of this 'man' and what he stands for..

    It would help if you could define the term ''racist''. It has so many definitions.

    What a stupid question/poll. Some are racist, some are not. Just like some Conservative/Labour/Lib Dem supporters and members are.
