It is not racist to challenge religion (I would encourage everyone to do so).
Wearing a Burka (out of choice or otherwise) should not be normalised. It should not be offensive to point this out.

It is dog whistle politics I think.
If Johnson was so convinced about social integration he'd reform schools ,remove religious privilege and work on getting everyone together regardless of class/background etc. and not just slag off Burka wearing.
Even though I hate that sort of thing where women have to cover up and men can do whatever, I don't think BoBo actually wants to create any healing/solutions.

Do you encourage them, in the process, to use childishly insulting wording designed to appeal to racists? Your choice of username and icon suggests you might.
The choice of imagery is important in communication, whether it's comparing a woman to a letter box or choosing the name and image of elite WWII German troops as your representation.

or does johnson get a pass because it's the wrong sort of racism, or is it because everyone knows he's a racist so... meh?
