Too true G - I can't stand anyone from the northeast of england (sorry Robchester, BriW, berlin, andrew smith etc.) My ex was from the north east and I now I can't stand to hear the accent or go anywhere near the area. So then. I am a racist ![]()

There are major cities which are essentially majority ethnic, and there are parts of major large cities which you just can't go into without facing some sort of issue. Bradford, Nottingham, Sheffield, Birmignham, Leicester, etc This is what causes people concern... again, is that racism, or a fair concern.

I'm not sure that you can dislike a culture on fair grounds, until you have had more exposure than just a few negative experiences. People are individuals, you would need to get to know a few, racism is based upon generalisation. |

i have a few black friends and to be hones most the things that we think are racist agains them dont actually bother them EG the N word doesn't bother them in the slightest the only thing that i know that does is coloured
most racist things i come across are used as a joke amongst multi race friends so i think its possible still a problem in the older generations but not so much in the younger ones well thats what it looks like to me. Last edited by barwel1992; 21-01-11 at 12:08 PM. |

My village, to the best of my knowledge there is one asian family, yes you guessed it they run the corner store. Yet a few miles down the road, and you would think you were in Islamabad.
Indian, Chinese, I don't care. So long as they are open.

I live in a town where it's unusual to see ethnic/black/coloured (whatever im meant to call it) people, so when I do I can't help as to notice them and I feel I'm staring and by that, treating them differently. With all the media coverage of 'black youths' and everything you see on TV and in films etc I personally do think I see them differently to white people, although I don't want to.
If I ever go to major city one thing that strikes me is just how many people there are of different ethnicities and I find it slightly uncomfortable. I think that sounds racist to read, but in fact I think it's just me not having the experience of being around such people and the influence of the media making me feel differently towards them. |

Racism against ethnic minorities, I think is well on the way out. But I do think that as a result we are starting to see the racism within ethnic minorities which has been bubbling under the surface. Last edited by -Ralph-; 21-01-11 at 12:11 PM. |

A nurse at the local hospital got in trouble for saying whilst cleaning up an incontinent patient. The trouble with this place is there are too many chiefs and not enough indians. An indian health care assistant took it to mean there should be more indian staff to do the dirty jobs.
