Correct but that does not mean history is reported accurately. In fact, as far as reporting goes...

The business of the journalist is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. ... We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. ... We are intellectual prostitutes. – John Swinton, 1880

I have no idea, I am no expert on Ghandi but I am curious, so please elaborate.

No, just more visible and therefore easier to attack than say Tribalism, which is still a form of prejudice but based on the same principle, ie x is an Eloi so therefore less than me as they
are lazy and spend their days playing,breeding and eating wiothout working.

Tribalism, Racism, Apartheid Xenophobia, and the Caste System mentioned by Halo are all forms of discrimination. What is curious is that, the world in general, and in particular the British, strongly associate Racism with the South African Afrikaner, when in fact it is a legacy of British Imperialism in Southern Africa.

The destruction of Africa, in particular Southern Africa has nothing to do with Racism. It is used as a scapegoat by political superpowers to exploit Africa economically. Why is Angola still in economic depression and poverty when it owns one of the world's richest oil reserves? Guess which countries are drilling for oil on the West African coast?

I could not agree more! Wikipedia, in many instances, also incorrectly furthers the belief that Racism is associated with South Africa. It is time that the British take responsibility and correct Wikipedia on this aspect.

I have no idea what you are on about now, are you digressing for the sake of not having a valid counter argument or lack of evidence or can't handle the truth?

Take responsibility for your actions.
