Am I to blame for this? (Racism)

[Tash.]

Exactly! Indians/Pakistanis are the minority so it is them that are in the spotlight and will be judged. Obviously like Saurav has said, Indians/Pakistanis will judge the English by the way bad ones act but unfortunately they are the minority so what they think about the English will never really matter. And if they did have something bad to say about the English they will get told "If you don't like it go back then" etc (In a non offensive way btw).

*REMOVED*. :/

I'm actually at a loss to say anything about this, thats how disgusting of a generalisation that is. I know i've bitten on your bait but you cowardly edited it in when the page had already passed. On your first post you wrote how you were trying very hard not to be offensive and not get banned, well I would like to bet you didn't think this part through at all. It's honestly the worst thing i've heard in ages.

K, I'd like you to reply to what I have just said then too. I'd also like to hear your opinion about what I have just said regarding you making decisions about what I think when I have never actually said that.


Say the same about what we wear? :eusa_eh: How could you? We don't exactly go around wearing balaclavas do we? Because that is what they are the equivalent to. Them masks that they wear pretty much are balaclavas, there is no doubt that they are scary, especially to old people and children. In the dark they can be terrifying, they look the same as a man wearing a balaclava who is obviously wearing it for a reason (mugging, murder, robbery etc).

Again, many white youths also wear hoodies. I for one find them alot more intimidating than the traditional religious clothing that muslims/hindus/sikhs may wear. Hoodies are not worn for this purpose and I would and do cross the road when confronted with a group or even 2 people wearing a hoodie, therefore your point has failed.

As for the job thing Neversoft and others were referring to, i've been unemployed myself since leaving college in the summer of 2008. My a-level results were not anything to be ashamed of and yet I still struggled to get into an administration job. I only just recently became employed so I know the current struggle very well. However, I would not dream of suggesting that the reason I couldn't get a job was because people who have migrated here have stolen them away from me. Saying that is highly ignorant, the only jobs they 'steal' are low paid jobs such as cleaners and highly paid jobs such as doctors, dentists, lawyers etc all of which we need and if they are intelligent enough to do them then I see no reason why they shouldn't.

I just don't like how they get houses and stuff. Like that family with 8 kids, 1.5million house or something, all modernised and are still complaining. There are 7 kids in my house and my mother, and we're fine in a 400k house. Just a joke.

Mint, I think you just showed everyone by posting what you did (stuff directed at me), how low you are, how big of a racist you are. I think you answered your question yourself, YES YOU ARE TO BLAME FOR IT.
You are ignorant, and a racist.

I haven't read any of the posts in this thread and I am replying directly to OP.

To be honest, your not being racist, and you hating all Asians because you've had a couple of messy encounters with them in the past is a sweeping generalisation. I know a few Muslims and while some of them are total numptys, there are the select few who are pretty decent people. It's like saying all Scottish people are poor, ginger alcoholics - just because in one instance there was an alcoholic Scotsman doesn't mean we're all alcoholics for example.

I guess you can't help how you feel and it's so hard to talk about subjects like this because one toe out of line is seen as "racist", this country is ridiculously PC.

I agree with the whole different culture reforming streets and area's I dont like it at all because British heritage should remain as it is, but then again if you go to places like Costa Del Sol and other tourist hotspots in Spain you see entire colonies of English Scottish Welsh and Northern Irish people living there who have immigrated.

They also fly their flags over there and have their individual celebrations and that dont coincide with the Spanish, so you can look at it either way. We give as good as we get.

Maybe you should read what he has posted through out the thread and then form your opinion.

People moan that Asians "steal" jobs but they also create jobs. Why do people only look at the negatives?

Im white and I have never known an Asian to steal a job, British people misunderstand it. Some asian people get job's because english people are too lazy to do it themselves.

I was forming my opinion based on the question he originally asked.
