Monarchy in any form is in no way a modern government.

People abolish many things even if they may make money (though I object to claiming that the royal family generates money for the UK). You can probably enslave people and sell them off to foreign countries and make money off of that, but it's not done because it's barbaric.

Don't give him ideas. He's now going to say that it's fine to enslave and then sell off all non-whites and non-Anglicans.
 
In the US, some states must have their students pledge allegiance to a fairy tale. I think that's wrong, even if it's within tradition.

It certainly is.

It's a racist caste system. Moreover, some citizens and other governmental officers must pledge allegiance to a fairy tale in your country since they must pledge allegiance to the head of a fairy tale church.

Who?

You already mentioned black people. And Muslims. Basically, anyone who isn't a white Anglican. You're on record with this now.

I'm prejudiced against christians and other deluded religions, that I'll admit.

Am I racist? No.

Sure but that would be barbaric. The Monarchy isn't, it simply appoints a single family as rulers of the country. How does that = barbarism.
 
So stating the fact that a white, CofE family can't give birth to a black muslim child is racist in your world?

Saying that a black muslim child should never be a head of state of a country is racist.

Why are white Anglicans good enough for you, but not black Muslims?

I never said they shouldn't be, I said they couldn't be, I was stating a fact, not talking about morality.

By supporting the institution, you're also saying should.

It's OK. You might as well open up to the other white supremacists here. Maybe you could PM InfoHawk and join his gang.

I'm not saying should, I'm not promoting how the royal family came about, I'm saying that's how it is now that they are here. That's a fact.
 
So in your world, stating facts can be racist?

I.e:

Nazi's dislike jewish people.

Above is a fact, now that I've said it does that mean I'm racist towards jewish people?

In my world, supporting racist institutions is racist.

I think that most people would agree that if you support racism then you're a racist. Maybe you guys in the UK define it differently, where you can't be racist if you hate non-whites or non-Anglicans?

Don't even bother trying to argue with him.

He's some angry Indian who thinks it's the Commonwealths fault that his country is a backwards shithole.

We tried to civilize them but it didn't take and that makes him even angrier.

Of course you can! But I don't hate non-whites or non-Anglicans, I've also never said I do. from now on though:

Give it up. You can never successfully refute circular logic if the other party does not recognize the fallacy.

This.

Ahh that makes a huge amount of sense, and explains why he's always going on about caste systems.

Uh, I'm not even Indian or even of Indian descent. No idea where you got that from. I guess just because I am anti-racism that I must be some random minority?

I think from now on I'm going to say that you're an Eskimo.

Exactly. Him and CanOWorms both have major inferiourity complexes. That's why they're always trying to compare their shithole culture with ours, hence all the bullshit 'Royalty is a caste system' crap.

You support a caste system, just like some Indian people here (I forget that one insane guy's name) support their caste system. All caste systems are barbaric, regardless of what races or ethnicity they target or degrade.
