Um, Congratulations?

The far-right-wing British National Party has decided to abandon its whites-only policy, allowing black and Asian members into the party, albeit largely to skirt anti-discrimination laws. (Assaulting journalists? Apparently still ok.) Of course this raises the question: What black or Asian person in their right mind would consider joining the BNP?

Andrew Sullivan in the past made the case for LCRs. I suppose it would come down to whether you agreed with the party on everything else, but yeah, I don't really get it either.

They drag out the occasional Sikh who supports them - it's all about family values, ethnic purity and really disliking Islam.
