Like I said, you are ignorant and a racist. Whatever people say, you wont listen and always ignore their posts unless they agree with you. Why ask us for our opinions if you are unwilling to listen? Unless you wanted us to feel sorry for you.

There you go again, making decisions about what I think. How do I fail to understand it? I have said that there are white scroat bags that cause trouble, that is understanding that all races behave bad. You probably just ignored that because whatever I say you just come out with something else, you don't listen.

Then reply to what I have said, what Jin has said etc.

The thing is, I'm not sure I can really explain... if a British person see a British person behaving badly they wont then think that all British people are all idiots, because they themselves are British. But say, they see an Indian or a group of Indian people behaving like that, they prejudge them and think that now all of them are like that... its unfair but its life.

Same with me, I'm Russian and when I tell people they are like "OMG really, yo... is everyone there an alcoholic?!"

Im like... er no... people in Britain tend to drink more than they do in Russia... and people also tend to think other bad things about me and my country... but tough really... its life.

Obviously they wont think all British people are idiots, because they are British themselves! Its mainly ignorant people who see a few Asians/Blacks acting badly and think OH THEY ARE ALL IDIOTS. And then they say "I have some really nice asians/black friends" ... so its like you say they are all idiots and then say you know some nice ones.

:S:S:S

You seriously need to stop accusing me, 1) I never said that "they are all idiots" because I know its not true and its not fair if I said that 2) Am I now not allowed to say I know some nice ones? Because I do know very nice pakistani people... :S So stop accusing me of random stuff which I never said

I just think you need to accept the fact that the world is full of different cultures and races, and some areas take particular interest of the indians or pakistanis, for whatever reason.

Yes I know, like I said I'm not english myself. I do respect peoples cultures and races but when you see pakistanis/indians acting all "bad" and then starting on you... it sorta makes you think really...

And I dont care about where they live... what areas or w.e

I wasn't accusing you. Only my first line was at you and the rest at Mint. Apologies for not quoting properly.

Its fine, but its just I did too say I know very nice pakistani people. :rolleyes:

Thing is, there are always "badly behaved people" everywhere, from every single country & race.
Like there are racists everywhere, in every country and race.

Theres not much you can do about it really apart from put your head up & be proud of who you are.

Sorry to break it to you but immigration is increasing. It's gotten to such a critical stage that the UKIP want to 'freeze' immigration into Britain for no less than five years. Our tiny little country has it much worse than America. Many immigrates come over here for free health care and steal all the jobs. Anyone can see Britian currently has a problem with immigration unless of course you've been living under a rock.

As for the topic at hand, I totally understand what you are saying Mint, and I would not call you racist. I am a white person who lives fairly near London and I have rather long hair. Every now and then, when I'm completely minding my own business, an Asian person seems to think its alright to tell me to get a haircut, or make a petty remark about how I look - which is just plain rude. They're just looking for trouble. I have never had this problem with any other nationality or race, only Asians. However, it is of course only a select few people in the Asian community. My neighbors are Asian and I get on with them fine. I have Asian friends, and I know some people on this forum are Asian who are all great people. I am not at all a racist person, but because I've only had trouble with Asian people it has lead me to have a different outlook on them, which I believe is no fault of my own. If they didn't want to start something in the first place I wouldn't view them differently. It is definitely one of those minority spoils it for the majority kind of things. These few Asian people who just want to look 'bad' ruin how others view Asians as a whole. It's pathetic really, but unfortunately true.
