I TOTALLY agree with Carol Tucker and Maureen Bruce about the problems of race mixing (letters, January 28). Julian Cole (January 22) is way off line.

Britain today, as everybody knows, is in the grip of a mania of "anti-racism".

As each week passes, new heights of madness are reached, in the all-out drive to hound into silence every voice of non-conformity concerning the race issue - that is, every opinion that dissents from the view that the races of the world are exactly the same in their attributes and differ from one another only in skin colour.
