Am I to blame for this? (Racism)

But for people who live in Manchester, its common knowledge that Manchester has more Pakistanis while Birmingham has more Indians.

It might matter to you but in reality people just don't care, it doesn't matter what nationality they are (Indian/Pakistani) as they will just be seen as the same.

And back to the jobs, what makes you say "oh an Asian must of got it they are better workers"? In actual fact there was no jobs left, the application sheets should of been removed weeks ago. Even if this was not the case and someone else did get the job, why do you say it was an Asian? When we are talking about Asda/Argos/Somerfield how can Asians be "better? Do they scan the products through the checkout faster or something? :rolleyes: The Matalan has pretty much only Asian workers, this is because it is in a part of rochdale that is full of them. The McDonalds in Oldham doesn't ever seem to have 1 Asian worker, this is because it is in a part of Oldham where you don't see any Asians. My point is, if the area surrounding the workplace happens to be full of Asians then there is obviously going to be a lot of Asians in that workplace. It's nonsense that Asians are better workers than English, what do you think happens in areas that don't have any Asians? They seem to get on fine, or even better in them really nice areas. Somerfield doesn't really have any Asian workers even though it is in an area that has quite a lot of them. When my brother use to work at Somerfield he said that apparently they didn't hire many of them because when they did they always seemed to form a friendship group with eachover and not really communicate much with the other workers, but that's a different story.

And about English people competing with taxi firms, I think English people prefer to drive black cabs around London, the backstreets of Manchester just isn't our style.

I love going to nice places such as the lake district/durham etc, reminds me of how England use to be. The only people that benefit from multi-culture society is them.

I'm not sure if it's just my area or not but my local KFC, Mcdonalds, Asda, Argos, boots, Tesco, Morrisons and Cinema etc has mainly Asian workers.

Seeing as thats the only example you gave, it to me suggested that the Asians got the job ... :S :S

I dont see why you are moaning then :S

There are actually many hard working English people who have had successes, I have never said Asians are better in general.

You say that as if I should actually be surprised to see that there are many successful English workers, obviously there are, this is England? :S

Again you have taken it in a negative way. What you said seemed to me that you think that I said Asians are better than English people in general. I said that (what you quoted just now) to make it very clear that, that is not what I said. I believe that the person who is the best usually gets the job. Yes there are many times which they don't, but in the example you gave to me that its mainly Asians working in those shops, it to me indicates either:

1) those Asians had a better application than others
2) not many white people are in the area / applied

You never gave the example that there is an area with hardly any Asian workers in your initial post but then you go on to post it later :S Why not post it all at once because saying what you did in your initial post suggests that only Asians etc work in those shops and hence pretty much steal the jobs :S But when you say a shop rarely has any Asian workers, that changes the whole point of the argument. Make your mind up.

Well as I said its a generalisation.

Well as I said its a generalisation.

Indeed, hence I have been referring to it as Asians and whites. But my point was that people see a Asian and automatically think PAKISTANI!! SO MUST BE A MUSLIM, SO MUST BE SO AND SO.
That is what annoys me. I have had people shouting **** at me on the street before and I just laugh at their ignorance. Some of these people have probably never heard of Sri Lanka or Bangladesh as they are complete and utter morons. They see a brown person and think it can only be a Pakistani.

Well thats a generalisation, you are Indian aren't you? - Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshians all come from the former British Raj. On the racism part, if you just experienced that then thats true racism, not the other stuff you have gone on about before on this forum.

A lot of that sounds as if it is racist then, that is true racism. However i'm not sure whether or not it was you, but I have been called racist on this forum for wanting to limit immigration in a controlled manner - that is not racism.

[Seatherny]

Nope that isnt racism and that wouldn't have been me.
