Am I to blame for this? (Racism)

[Seatherny]

Most people in Iraq didnt want the UK there. Atleast before they werent scared of being shot everytime they left their house.
Anyway lets not change the topic to War.

Well, That was my opinion. I personally feel that immigration has gone too far..

No other country allows immigration on this scale..

I mean, Everybody has a right to their own opinion? I just really think that its all gone too far :/

Well, I dont really mean.. TAKEN OVER. but i think it was 200,000 BRITISH people LEAVING BECAUSE OFF IMMIGRATION. Now, Thats not good is it.

(btw, Manchester doesnt have many Indians at all, its Birmingam) is Rusholme (and maybe Longsight).

I am actually an Indian. Again, a wrong attitude of racist(ish) white people in Manchester and in the UK in general.

Are you doing this to me on purpose? First you tell me that you live in Manchester and it doesn't really have any Indians (which makes me think that you are a Pakistani), then you start flaming me for assuming you are a Pakistani when it is your fault for making me think this in the first place.

When you put Indians and Pakistanis in comparision, I don't think we can really tell the difference from how they look, they speak very similar, they both have similar names such as Mohammed, Abdul, Sanjai, Raj, Kahn etc They both all seem to be Muslims (I think) and probably many other similarities. While it is true that we wouldn't like it if we got mistaken for other white nationalities it is irrelevant because that is not the case. If there were a lot of say Germans for example living in England mixing in with us British then it would be understandable for you to get us mixed up providing you couldn't tell our language apart (which you should because if you choose to live in our country you should learn our language).

I have a good Pakistani friend who extremely dislikes Amir Kahn (the boxer) and he says that Amir Kahn is doing a bad job at representing all the Pakistanis out there (which also leads on to Indians because a lot can't tell the difference). I really do understand what he is saying, if I lived in another country and I was a minority and there was a cocky English boxer It would make me feel ashamed. Saying this I really like Amir Kahn, he is a great boxer and his fights are good to watch. I just wish he had a better attitude.

I love you because your posts make me laugh so much. I said Manchester doesn't have many Indians as you kept saying "there are many parts of Manchester that Indians/Pakistanis have what you could call taken over." so I was simply correcting you.
And again, you generalise people, ever thought of asking "What country are you from?". Its not exactly hard.
Regarding the names, most of them are all Muslim names. Not all Indians/Pakistanis are Muslims you know, there's Hinduism and Sikhs here too.
People like you are ignorant as they refuse to ask people. You just generalise people.

That is another 1 of your generalisations that you have. You seem to do that a lot. And afaik, Indians are generally Hindu, and Pakistanis generally Muslim.

Tbh, Mint. I think you do need to learn the differences before you can complain.

I know indian people And they are ok. Yeah, some indian people night NOT be ok. But isnt that the same everywhere?

" @the part in bold - the thing is, he's right. People such as you and mint witter on about how they are taking over our great country, overruling our wonderful values when infact our country has gone to the dogs. All certain youths do seem to do is get drunk for fun, so i'm not surprised if I can see this that he can. Simply saying "If you don't like it go back to your own country" isn't going to fix anything. If all non-white, non-british people were removed from this country the problems would remain the same. Impoverished young white people will still continue to get pregnant, take drugs and get drunk whilst not contributing to society and taking benefits. I think it's just time people such as you see that the problems are not all to do with immigrants. "

Yeah, i agree with that, The thing is - this ONE person was going on about 'White people drinking ect ect' - When ALL his Pakistani/bengali friends all go on ' ORr, were gonna go get pissed and all this tonight ' - Thats great isnt it..

Like i said - I have a few pakistani friends - Therefore i dont HATE THEM ALL?, I just dislike a few. Not ALL OF THEM. Im just saying my school - Thats what i have a problem with

For general information:

*Indian census has established that Hinduism accounts for 80.5% of the population of India.

* In Pakistan: Census data indicates that over 97% of the population are Muslims

First off, stop blaming your ignorance on other people. Saurav did not lead you to believe he was of Pakistani descent, he didnt state what he was, you just presumed. And again with the presumptions. If you aren't sure about something why don't you check? Pakistan is mainly muslim, India is mainly Hindu. Following on from that, the names you've given are mainly muslim names, so again showing your ignorance. With the german comparison, no. Just the same as you cannot tell apart muslims and hindus, indian and pakistanis, their languages, they might not be able to tell apart our languages. So i'm putting it to you again, you would not like it.

As for Amir Khan, sure he's a bit cocky with his attitude but I think you'll find that the majority of sportsmen nowadays are.. yet again you've chosen to comment on the character of a person who is not white, despite the fact he is actually british as he was born here the same as me or you. You could say the same about many white, english footballers who have been arrested for drink driving, assault and many other offences.

Ok, i feel like i must apologise. What i said came out wrong.

I dont hate all pakistanis - Just the ones who follow on with other people causing trouble (My example) Which was just based off my school.

Sorry.

[Jord]

I feel exactly the same way as you, this invasion of these "Asian bad boys" who think they are bad is pissing me off.

Same here, They really wind me up the rail.. Like I have nothing against them but its annoying as hell
