Freeman says racism is totally wrong yet insists multiculturism divides rather than unites people.

Politely, I comment on his lovely house and the tranquillity that surrounds it.

“When I moved up here this woman I know said, ‘Ooh! There are a lot of whiteys up there’, and I said, ‘I love white people; I’ve no problem with them at all.”

The idea was that I was going to complain because there weren’t enough blues dances out here; not enough ragga around. But I’m not bothered by it.

“Multiculturalism hasn’t and doesn’t help, because rightly or wrongly it polarises people so much,” he continues.

“Racism is one thing ? and I don’t agree with that in any form ? but noticing that there are differences is normal and fine and to be encouraged.

“We’ve reached a state now where it’s, ‘You shouldn’t notice. Why are you noticing he’s got a bomb and has a beard and is Muslim and wants to kill your family?”

“There is no country in the world like this. If all of a sudden all the traffic wardens in Ghana were Welsh, they’d really notice and might not love it? We give ourselves a hard time in this country in a sort of mea culpa way. But if we were that racist, people wouldn’t come. Very simple.”

Wait, what?

wow yes go on martin freeman i really wanted your thoughts on this subject

Wait… where is this from? What’s happening? I AM SO CONFUSED BY THIS POST.

EDIT: Ok so I found this post on the daily mail but I can’t decide if I think it’s real or not? because the writer? puts lots of random punctuation . in the article and it looks like ???? a drunk tumblr post

EDIT 2: I’m sorry Aut :(
