Rajinder Singh, the BNP's first non-white member

When it emerged that the British National Party - the organised, political face of British racism - would have to begin taking non-white members, I found it very difficult to believe that any non- "indigenous caucasian" - the BNP's euphemism for "white-and-therefore-superior people" - would actually want to join a party that essentially believes anyone "on the wrong side of beige" (as I once heard one particularly spectacular racist pr**k describe non-whites) does not belong in Britain.

Apparently I was wrong. Rajinder Singh, a Sikh ex-schoolteacher who emigrated from India in 1967, says he would be "proud" to join the BNP. Mr Singh, who provided a character reference for Nick Griffin - the BNP leader - at his trial for inciting racial hatred (note the irony), supports the BNP because it is the "only party who has the guts to say the word Muslim".

Mr Singh claims to have "put his own ego aside" in his support for the BNP. Joining a party that hates you because of the colour of your skin seems to me to be much more than that - it is a display of distain for non- "indigenous caucasian" Britons who suffer the effects of racism. This justification for his decision to seek membership sends out the message that racism doesn't matter; and lends credibility to a group of thugs and fascists in the eyes of voters who would never before have considered voting BNP, but have become frustrated with mainstream parties.
