Racism increasing? I'm not seeing that in my walk of life, but the path I am walking nowadays is relatively sheltered, so I don't know, one of the reasons I started this thread was to open that to a wider audience and see what the consensus of opinion was amongst others who may be more exposed, or may still feel they are on the receiving end.

You may be right about the increasing/decreasing?? Maybe views on it are polarising, where certain sections are more welcoming but other more the other way.

how do you blindfold a chinese person?

yes racism is thriving in the uk in my opinion-racism, sexism,maritalstatusism etc all on the increase-i'm a victim of all the above and more! why?-because i'm a white hetro sexual married male, if i go for a job or house etc and i'm up against a non white,gay,single no ties,lesbian, left wing non hair washing, penis owning but not wanting it wanna be a woman type "thingy" i can bet you they'll get it before me.

is it racist if you wish to live your life in an environment where you only live with people who look like you and share the same beliefs?if you choose to live in a community where everyone is white or black etc because it makes you feel more comfortable and results in increased happiness is it racism?

I hate Pakistanis - really I do, but in my defence I hate Indians, Israelis, Palestinians, Chinese, Japanese, Germans, Greeks, Yanks, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, French, Russians... in fact I hate them all, every single bloody nation in the world, including the Maltese. It's not racism, it's just a sociopathic condition.

Racism is alive and kicking in the UK, but it's alive and kicking in every nation you care to travel to. I have travelled quite a bit in my life, and while the white British can be perceived as racist, generally it's ignorance. True racism is apparent usually amongst the indigenous population towards incomers and economic migrants.

You want to see proper racism? Go to any arab country and see how the asian construction workers are treated there, it really is shocking. The worst of the lot have to be the Japanese though, I have never come across a more xenophobic and openly racist people.

I agree, I had to spend 3 months there once for work and I hated every minute of it. Bizarre country, wierd people who even treat their own people like dhags. They don't know where the feck they are in their cultural identity anymore and in turn they treat everyone else like a bad smell in a lift. I went there open minded and left hating them, they turned me into a racist godammit.

Our town has a lot of Eastern European's in it. One street has been nicknamed by the local's Little Poland. When one of the shops put up a sign 'No English' then you can't help but feel sour towards them, as they don't help themselves with things like that.

I not racist. I just hate eyeties, chinks, niggers, pakis, dagos, wops, yids, nips, towelheads, slavs, ragheads, yanks, jocks, paddys, welsh, frogs, krauts, the english and racists.

But seriously, over the last million years or so a sense of tribal identity has been a key survival attribute. We're not going to eradicate that in a couple of generations. Here in the richer parts of the world, education and affluence have greatly reduced it's effect. But another great depression could give parties like the BNP fresh impetus to stir up the tribal instinct.

Just my thoughts,

Keith.

Saddest day when the Raxe relations Act showed its face under Harold Wilson, spawning the race relations industry which has done untold harm to all sides in this.
A distant relative ( from luckypants' neck of the wood ) took the mighty BBC to court over them airing " Taffy was a Welshman, etc. " AND WON!

Just heard on local news, white children only account for 48% in birmingham schools, by 2024 that will also be for adults as well.

FFS, we wont have a country left at this rate, and we worry about the BNP
