Round-up

1. Polish immigrants apparently face racism if they become homeless, according to a "hard-hitting" new report. The basis for this conclusion is that ONE Catholic agency asks what your country of origin is "as a basis for rationing their services". Of course, this could just be for informational or statistical purposes, and I'm not sure what Polish people have to do with it as they are never mentioned specifically in there, but you gotta remember someone's probably being paid to write this report...and they need something to write.

2. The number of "racist statements" has increased dramatically in Europe over the past year. This was certainly the case in the Netherlands, France, Italy and Belgium, said European Commissioner for Justice Franco Frattini after a visit to the Holocaust monument in Berlin on Tuesday. What constitutes a racist statement, who said them and what form they took isn't explained. More wishy-washy, PC nonsense.

3. And the BBC has answered back against the claims that they are racist against Africans, as I posted yesterday. Good for them.
