No I am not racist. My first language is English. My daughter's school has on record that many of pupils there do not have English as their first language. Does this make the school racist? They have bilingual staff to help otherwise how would the children cope? The native language of this country is English. Our schools teach in English.

I have learned to speak other languages. If I was living in a country where I could speak the language fluently enough to converse but was not necessarily accurate in my spelling or grammar I would verify whether or not I'd got something correct before I made a dirty great shop sign.

BTW I used to be able to play guitar but have problems with my little finger on each hand where the knuckles bend inwards and lock so I have had to give it up.
