met a racist today...

[Keight]

pissed off excuse the language

so me and my friend got off at cadoxton train station today..as we were walking from the platform this guy polked my friend in the back with an umbrella...she turned thinking it was someone she knew..but it wasnt. ive yet to mention my friend is asian and a muslim and wears the hijab (headscarf) well anyway...he started hurling abuse at us, swearing at me for hanging around with 'scum' and shouting at her for living in this country. he was telling her to back to baghdad and to pray to saddam....what the fuck?????!!!!!!!!!!! what a narrow minded cunt! shes not from iraq, shes doesnt to pray to idols and she is a british citizen!!!!!!! he had no FUCKING right to say that to her and he had no right to say to me i cant be friends with 'non white' people. we shouted back and called him every name under the sun but it still got to us......no matter what cast/religion/colour anyone is they should be treated like everyone else.

he was one of these narrow minded fuckers who believes EVERYTHING bbc1 tell him, all muslims are terroists....he only thinks muslims are terroists............so lame!!!!!!!!!

i'm well pissed off..........but the fact is, she has to live with people making remarks about osama bin laden, and saddam hussain and george bush...its totally unfair....just because of her faith.



god he was a fucking cunt.

[king_gitface]

that sucks Kate. I hope you and her are ok. It sucks how a small minority ruin it for others

[Hannah]

that's sickening.. what a twat. it scares me that things like that don't happen once in a blue moon, everyone has stories to tell.

at work the other day, this woman working behind the tills with me was like "stupid cow.." about a customer who had got a price wrong and complaining. trying to be nice, i was all "oh, difficult customer?", and she was like "yeah.. she said this blah blah.. AND it doesn't help when they're of the *cue stupid whispered tone* asian variety, does it?". asian variety!!?? fucking 'variety'?! stupid bitch. i'm kicking myself for not reporting her.
and, on another rant, at my work, the customer toilet is a disabled one that both men and women can use. i was walking past this bloke and heard him saying to his wife in the whiniest tone ever "i'm not using the fucking disabled toilet, that's disgusting"..

there really are no fucking words. and to think these people are bringing up kids today.

[Raiden]

wow thats fucking unbelievable.

ignorant fucks.

[beev]

should have pulled the umbrella off him and smacked him in the fukkin teeth!!!

[Kimie]

Charming! Thats just sick, i hate it when people are so sterotypical, your a muslim so you must be a terrorist. I have a lot of Asian friends who were born here and are british citizens and it sucks that people treat them like.

I hope shes ok

[Big Mark]

There's someone whom I know who is a member of the BNP. His views are "send them all back home" said in big words, and he calls me a fag for reading The Guardian. Twat.

[MeMaby]

i can't understand what would cause someone to say things like that to another human.

to have your own personal prejudices fine, but keep them to yourself.

i think that now..i'm hard you know, ive been brought up to defend myself (i'm from barry, its like the bronx of south wales :suspect ) but i have never been so scared for me or for my friend before!!! i was so scared.....but then that makes me angry cos i shouldnt have been......

[lostgoffik]

many people are racist in one way or another its human nature a primeval instinct telling us that anything different is bad, many people resort to violence and abuse coz this instinct is too hard to deal with in their minds... as for people in the BNP well thats just people who are too insecure in themselvs so thay have to be part of something larger.

some people have branded me a racist however i am not. ive been branded this because i stand by what some politition said (i think it was winstan churchill im probably wrong tho) "enough is enough" this was in refrence to asylum seekers and well i think that yes we are a wealthy country but we are small yiny compared to the rest of the world and yet a majority of asylum seakers come to britain y? because they get free money a free house and (under certain circumstances) a free car. with all this taxes need to up to support these individuals and what of our own people u know thoes who were born here well allot, too many in my opinion, are left to fend for themselfs. some would say that im am spouting nonsence well to be frank im not... ive worked with many immigrants/asylum seekers infact my last job i was the only person 'native' to this country other than the managers and stuff, they have told me what they get how they play the system and to be honnest its sickening to see some freinds of mine that have been kicked out of their homes living in discusting hostals while these asylum seekers sleep in nice cosey warm houses. yes i get irate about things but i dont go atacking people for it as its not the asylum seekers fault that they get an easy its tony blairs 'new labour'

other things that get on my nerves are these immagrents that come to this country to work their country isnt even at war or anythin like that, they come because they get more money for less work infact some do very little an example of this is again is where i used to work an italian feller came to work where i did and i was his supervisor i thaught fair enough as long as he works its fine well guess what he didnt work... he had 2 machines to run and neither ran very fast infact a 5 ur old could opperate them yet every time i came to chek on him the machines were piled up with him noware to be seen. and almost every time i found him outside on his phone, in the end i had to take his phone off him as i did so he tryed to start a fight with me i just ignored himand walked away (i find it funny that he tryed to start a fight with me coz im 6'1 and fairly well built and he was about 5'5 and skinny as a rake).

id also like to make the point that in my experiance it is pakistanis that are the most racist. i went to a school where around 80/90% of the school was pakistani/indian the indians were fine they just accepted everyone but the pakistanis threw racist insults at every oppertunity. things like (and i apolagise for the lingo but its how its said around here) "im gona bang you out honkey motherfucker" and no i didnt get involved coz if i said something i would either get my arse kicked by like 100 of em or it would go streight to the headmaster as a racist thing and i would be suspended and even if it was 1 person i said it to there would be at least 50 to back him up. and it didnt stop when i left school it still carrys on infact it has upgraded its now more sommin like "goffik motherfucker im gona bang you out honey, im gona break your face honkey" yea great way to prasr things and how the fuck can u break someones face?? mabe these experiances have made me bitter and im missing the fuller picture or mabe ive been ther so i know the deal who knows but i shall leave you with a quote that i usually use when im called racist

"im not racist i hate everybody equally"

edit: i forgot to distinguish between asylum seekers and immagreants.....now done

[Keight]

are you saying you understand where this guy i 'met' was coming from?

thats all i'm going to say until you answer the question.

[Siiiiick]

from what i read, it looks like he's just saying that the people who are outwardly racist are those who cannot handle themselves, and by default resort to physical and/or verbal abuse to deal with their faults.

with that said, I also think that where it comes off as him being racist, he's just explaining why he has these degrading views towards some people. I don't think he intentionally means to say that he is generalizing one culture as whole, only to say that the ones he has come across have acted in this manner. In events such as that, it's hard for some people to see outside of that massive generalization.

Personally, I think the only (and main) justification between metamorphing and the racist you have come across is that metamorphing distinguishes the fact that he does not pawn this image of a culture off on every person, but only on the group that he has run across. he also backs up his statements as to why he is angry at these people. while the racist you ran into has no basis what so ever for anything he has commented on...

finally. if this is what you mean metamorphing, then i would agree on some of the things you have said. as long as people understood that i am not taking a derogatory stance on racism. i am completely against it.

[lostgoffik]

i think siiiiick has hit the nail on the head with that one, i do quite often not explain myself fully or come across in the right mannor. in this instance i was just tryin to explain that the guy you 'met' was sterotyping people for what they look like and as he cant deal with it so he lashes out on people less physically strong (its a macho thing) and then followd through with an explination to where i stand on the whole racist issue

and as i direct answer to your question i dont know where that guy was comming from i was just trying to give an explaination as to y people like him act that way

[Xander_S]

I'm not a violent person, but being mixed race and hearing such ignorant shit really fucking gets to me, I woulda beat the crap out of that guy.
What really gets to me when someone will say something racist to me, not realising that I'm mixed race (which Isn't quiute as obvious as it would sound) and they expect me to fucking agree with them. Fuck That!

[wethepeople]

There is nothing i hate more than racism, argh it really grates me!!!
But then i was thinking the other day....... if i see a group of say *big black men* across the road, i have no hate towards them whatsoever, but i feel edgy that they may attack me as they might be racist. Now does that make me racist in a way or does that make me paranoid that other people are racist? does anyone see what i am getting at?

[puddingbrummsel]

hmm there were two nazi-wanabes in my train the other day who tried hitting on some turkish girl, when she ignored them they fucking screamed "go back to turkey blabla" and stuff like that at her too :s fucking hate when that happens! funny how evryone left the train at the next station but them two fools.. fuckers.

[benlawrence2k4]

hey ya can't let people like that get ot ya. eventually he's gonna say something to the wrong person and he's gonna get majorly fucked up.

[blue_dragon]

I'm not a racist. I have more than several friends that come from so called 'ethnic minorities' but i got to say i totally understand what metamorphing is saying about asylum seekers and pretty much totally agree. They get all this free shit and while i'm all for being a humanitarian and saving them from persecution and so forth, Britain is a small country and I am more or less totally against economic migrants.

[Lee]

i live somewhere where how do i say this...'tax payers' are outnumbered by asylum seekers.

i haven't read what metamorphing has said but i would imagine it would fall along the same lines as what i feel sometimes

not racism but fustration

however what that guy did is pig headed, simple minded yet way too prominant in society.

[Fiend4Life2]

stereotypes, racism, all that crap annoys me... i'm the type who'll step in if i see something going on... but me stopping a fight every once in a while doesn't do much for world peace... so some people will just always be like that. not that we should just sit back and accept it, but it's the way the world works... it's a shame, really...

[DrownedSheep]

Rascism is a crime therefore you can do a citizens arrest and get the scum charged for it

[SilphSquirrel]

Right ok...I might get flamed for this but Id just like to say i agree and sympathise with Keight...my mums half sri lankan and makes the best curries in the world.Therefore not racist.:)

However the only racist fight Ive seen is one where...man...this group of Asian youths had this white couple cornered in a busstation (broad daylight) and were shouting abuse at the woman who was trying to smack them while her bf held her back. They were egging her on and making promises to put her in a coma if she touched them...things broke into a bit of a brawl and me+my mate had to run over and sort things out,(no fucker else was doing anything) and it kinda got split up....without too much pain.
What Im trying to say is that the small minority in every race fucks it up for everybody else.All as bad as each other IMO. A group sees something on tv then goes and tries to start something with groups of different race,they feel threatened and likewise respond and take on a far more violent image...vicious circle.

Keight you shouldve rammed the umbrella down his throat...that would avoid the vicious circle,you'd be same race.

[lIllIlllIII]

Ehh,...i'm Punjabi but I can put my life on it that I can act "white"-er than you...hella people right after 9-11 were just bullshitting on me and just ASKING for me to kick their ass...but i mean, if any white trash or some skanking person comes up to me and seriously just pushes it, i'll knock him out and DO something other than verbally abuse him to death...but it hasnt happened lately...

Huh? You are against people who wish to come and live in the UK, who apply for a visa or work permit, go through the correct channels and come here to the UK to work and pay their own way?

Or do you mean you are against those asylum seekers who cross several international borders and travel many thousands of miles to get free shit from the soft-touch moronic UK government?

I have NO PROBLEM with economic migrants. I'd be a hypocrite if I said anything different. After all, I'm scottish, live in england, and am emigrating to Australia in august-ish.

Properly - proper visa and the like. but i digress.

Economic migration is what makes the UK culture, in fact, ANY culture so diverse. Think about that next time you eat a kebab or curry. No issues for people that just want to work and live in a different country. That's fine. Economic migration enriches cultures, and also creates better understanding. Ideals, religions, food and cuisine, lifestyles, the whole nine yards.

Look at the choice we have in restaurants throughout the Uk. And with places of worship, and all the other stuff that has been brought here with those people that came to the UK to call it their home.

Think about that. And the fact that as far as the english are concerned, you're either descended from the vikings - economic migrants, or from the french. smelly invaders, but that's a different story.

Economic migration is fine.


It's these fuckers that simply want to come to the UK under the guise of seeking asylum that have no fucking intention of getting a job or anything. that sponge of the uk government and take the piss. these people want lining up and shooting. a bit extreme, but once you've made a few examples of people, it'll stop the tide of spongers and only leave those genuine people and those that just want to start a new life in the uk.

We need to be aware that some asylum seekers are genuine, and that we need to take a proportion of them in with the whole being part of the EU thing. But these bogus asylum seekers are cunts that ruin it for everyone.

EDIT:

We also need to be aware that it's not just asylum seekers that sit on the dole and scrounge. brits do it too you know. Some of these cunts even claim benefits AND work.

they should be shot too.

[Kimie]

Speaking of racists this guy in year 11 whose a complete twat anyway started on some friends in the bus stop today.
What he exactly said i don't know all i know is they came out of the bus stop looking pissed off saying that if he's going to insult them about there race at least get there race right.
He walked into school the other carrying a speaker round thinking he's hard and takes the mick out of my ginger friend, dispite being a year 11.

i think the technical term for someone like that is rudeboi...they act all hard and stuff insulting everyone and generally thinkin there bad boys yet the moment they come face to face with someone remotly hard (or hard looking) they are like puppy dogs. unfortunatly there is no real way to stop these rudebois' other than a good kickin by a girl then theyll hang there head in shame wherever they go

[psynomo]

the thing that makes me sick is the ignorance, some people just presume because you are asian you are an asylum seeker... which is bollocks. im from the area of my city that contains the majority of ethnic minorities (also known as the ghetto, and i dont mean that offensivley, i love it) and most of the people i know were born in england. people are too quick to believe all these shock stories they see on the news (which is seen as a credable source of information) about ethnic minorities. where i live, we had some people arrested under the terrorism act - they happened to be of asian decent and now every asain person is presumed armed and dangerous. just because they saw the story on bbc news about an asain guy in gloucester.

as for discrimination, the thing that REALLY does my head in is the attitude that people who have learning difficulties or people in wheelchairs are inferior. the college i go to is an intergrated college, and i can think of more than one incident where people have made snide comments about people in wheelchairs moving slowly through the corridors. in addition to this, some of the learning difficulties kids were fighting in the corridor and the college security guards (told you i was from the ghetto!!) just ignored them, if that had been a bunch of kids from the sixth form centre you could gurantee the guard would be in there fists and all. one of the boys got hurt and was lying on the floor crying in a corridoor and at least 5 people walked past. eventually me and my friend got up and walked down the corridoor and helped him up.... but the point is why do people just pretend they arent there. is it because they are insecure or what?

[lostgoffik]

well the only responce to this that i can think of is people are cruel they see people injured prehapse dieing and they do nothing the just pretend that nothing has happened coz there too wraped up i their own little worlds to care for anyone else. itoo have an example of this, i was sitting in a restaurant haveing a meal, and was siting by the window as i usually do (i like to people watch) and i saw this old lady fall over, i think she had a heart attack or sommin coz she wernt moveing, anyway i counted the number of people that just walked past, 27, yes 27 people walked past before anyone would help her and even when this guy came over to help her noone took any notice when the guy was shouting "can someone get this lady an ambulance". its sickening to think that that old lady may have helped during the war which stoped communism running rampant, and let us keep out free will and she could have lied dead in the street and noone would care.

oh yea and before you ask me why i didnt go and help her the reason is this, 1)i was only half way throuh my meal 2)i was with someone that i needed to speak with and 3)i figured it to only be a matter of seconds/minuits before someone helped her which it was. yes this may have been selfish of me and make me look like a hypocrit but as my custom title says "I DON'T CARE

[psynomo]

i think its because people with learning difficulties make other people nervous or something. as if they dont know how to react because somebody is different. it would be kind of easy to say 'oh the people who discriminate are arseholes' but you have to understand why they are the way they are. i think its because society, here in the uk at least isnt very intergrated, and people are afraid of what they dont know, or afraid of something different. cheesy as it sounds we are all human at the end of the day no matter what the skin colour or physical/ mental state of heath, but i think its easier for people to assimilate others into their pre-concieved schemas... its saves thinking really doesnt it? i mean its easier to go 'oh he looks like this guy i once knew who was horrible therefore he must be horrible too' (a bit of a silly example) but its easier to let your brain just jump to conclusions than it is to think.
so to kind of move onto a more postitive angle, how can we stop this happening? i think intergration is the key really. mixing children of all races and abilities at a young age, where children dont have these pre-concieved ideas.

Oh he's definately a rude boy all right, the classic hat, with it tilted up to the sky and the zip up hoody with some random name or whatever across the front and the little pe bag school bag things.

I'm talking more about economic migrants posing as asylum seekers and getting a load of help and support and so forth. I am not so much against economic migrants as I know that more people leave the UK each year than those coming in but I just think its a bit unfair you know, I mean we let economic migrant in and yet we still turn away some asylum seekers. What is more important. Making a better life for yourself or actually having a life.

I'm sorry I should have been more specific before. Its just these phony asylum seekers piss me off.

Especially those who leech off the UK Government. I saw this one case where a man and his wife were both in "great danger" so decided to come to the UK to ask for asylum. Problem was they only had enough money for one plane ticket so the bloke came and left his wife behind. He came here and and while waiting word reached him that his wife had been killed. He was distraught but the Government didnt let him stay. They brought up one excellent point.

If he thought they were both endanger, why not spend the money on two tickets going to somewhere closer than the UK. The guy had nothing to say.

[Choco Bob]

I see what you mean wethepeople. I used to have a fear that those who weren't white would be racist towards me (although, some people have mistaken me for Spanish, and I've socked them one in the jaw if they were offensive).

Saying someone who has moved here for political reasons/civil war should be packed back to their home is like saying someone who is trapped in a well shouldn't be saved because they shouldn't have been there in the first place.

Racists don't understand that those who are black/Asian/Arabian can't help it.

I know, how about we send all the racists to countries where people fled from, and make them put up with the civil war, or the China Damn.

Man, I kick ass.

[matthew]

do you present blue peter or are you one of those bastards that vandalised the garden

and on topic


yeah there are people in every race that fuck it up for others and then genralisations are made from what only a few people do.

i find it annoying though that whenever someone in a racial minority has a crime committed against them it is always said to be racially motivated.

"oh he was beaten up cos he is black"

when infact he could just have been being a total cunt

[Chrish]

Looks like that guy who shouted at your friend is part of the Kilroy family eh! Well, that bloke = cunt basically and im sorry for you and your mate that had to go through that.

Now, about ppl talking about asylum seekers....to some of you all I can say is stop reading the tabloids....yes there are people who apply for political asylum in this country and are bogus, this will always happen, however, I’m sure the majority are not yet you comment on asylum seekers as a whole. Do you kids not realise what western countries did in colonial periods? Countries such as England colonised certain countries, took what they wanted etc. However I do also realise that they bettered the countries they colonised, in many ways, just as people of other races, cultures etc do so in England. But the colonies that Britain once controlled obviously lead to links being made with such countries, e.g. India, Sri Lanka. There’s so much that has happened that you must think about. People who are genuine in their attempts to gain asylum have reasons, backgrounds that you and I are not aware of, so to brand genuine ppl with those who take advantage of the govt and tax payer’s money is wrong, as in some ways it is a lot easier to blame the money spent being spent on benefit fraud on the false claims of those non British citizens than those British citizens who have been proven to commit benefit fraud, have you thought of that? I am not sitting here saying all asylum seekers are genuine, nor am I saying British citizens who claim benefit are all committing fraud, but I am just saying that you should think that people as a whole are not always trustworthy and that too much attention to race can also be made.
The fact is when it comes to asylum seekers, there is no clear cut stance one can take, there will always be genuine ppl, there will always be ppl trying to take the govt of such countries as England for a ride.
I am British, but of Sri Lankan decent, my parents moved here 20 years ago, not due to any political reasons, they arrived here for employment reasons, but arrived with jobs that brought them here, through the correct channels, starting with a working visa, then obtained permanent residency and now are British citizens. Sri Lanka is one of many countries that have experienced civil war for many years, some people have to leave the country and I think there is no problem with that and in severe cases lives are threatened and better life is what people have to look for. However, it sickens me that people use this window falsely and at the expense of people who are genuinely in trouble tarnish countries reputation as asylum seekers etc.
I understand how the publicised right wing views may cloud your judgment, but try thinking and looking into things for yourselves with an ounce of common sense and a brain of your own, please for your own good if nothing else.

[Lee]

^ agreed with my lover above^

you only hear the bad stuff.
you only notice the bad stuff.
no one really ever notices those who are here not to spunge (probably not the right word but i'm tired and don't really fucking care)

illegal immigrants and aslyum seekers can be very different things. actually are different things. but can be so easily intermixed.

[doesitmatter?]

i live somewhere where how do i say this...'tax payers' are outnumbered by asylum seekers.
Earlier comment from Lee, same thread. Retreating are we now Lee? Come in off that right wing it's awfully cold an you might get blown away. Now you understand about asylum seekers because your friend had to point it out! Well done Chrish!

[Lee]

ok maybe i used the wrong term and didn't think too much about my post
i'll give you that
i did use the wrong term
but these are people posing as asylum seekers
that i should've stated.
not retreating at all.

[mem]

you only hear the bad stuff.
you only notice the bad stuff.


I totally agree with that. I'm mixed race (half-turkish) and it really pisses me off how people act. Even people just joking around saying stuff like "go back to where you came from" and shit really pisses me off. And this one rudeboi was so fucking ignorant he told some of my mates (out of my earshot of cors) that he would "beat my paki ass". How fucking ignorant can you be, at least get my damn (half)race right.

Another thing, we have an english teacher who is a true liberal, yet she still pissed me off. She was talking about black people and saying how when she sees a black person in school she is like "yes, that's good" i just thought that was really patronising. Then somebody said "but they might not live around here, to come to this school" and she had a go at him for using the word "they", what the hell else can he say? I mean c'mon there is being rascist and being liberal and then there is just being fucking stupid.

People should just relax.

Another thing about that quote i put at the top, whenever something bad happens in turkey the BBC always report it as turkish people doing it when infact it is kurds (south of turkey militant type people) and then when something good happens its always due to the kurds. I dont know why the bbc hates turkey so much.

Ah well, people are fucked.

[Luke]

The only reason people have such a short sighted view of our inter-racial community is because of all the spin and bullshit that the government and the media throw at us, just beacause is is on tv doesn't mean it is true, it is just the belief of the reporter or spin doctor behind the politician.
when our generation takes over the country these views will be very different, and hopefully more open. which leads me to a new thread.....

[Lucky Ninja]

Very hard talk....It's easy to say I'M NOT RACIST, but difficult to proof it's true... is my opinion. When I meet a person whose have diffrent culture, trying to see whose personality first.

[gazer]

racism is so cruel-ive been hurled racial abuse myself.
Thing is, in general its discrimination is bad-but we all stil do it but not in racial form. We slag off people who dress differently and they slag us off etc its hard to figure it all out

see, im a muslim and im leavin' for london this september to do my postgrad degree. although most of my friends haven't had problems so far with the people living there, i can't help feeling remorse about alot of things. media overstatement, lets call it.

but then it's happening everywhere anyway. you can't escape it. the feeling that you're not safe, unless you're really home. but now, i dont even know how safe home is, cos of the bloody terrorists.

but then thanx again all for being so supportive for us asians. :D

pissed off excuse the language

so me and my friend got off at cadoxton train station today..as we were walking from the platform this guy polked my friend in the back with an umbrella...she turned thinking it was someone she knew..but it wasnt. ive yet to mention my friend is asian and a muslim and wears the hijab (headscarf) well anyway...he started hurling abuse at us, swearing at me for hanging around with 'scum' and shouting at her for living in this country. he was telling her to back to baghdad and to pray to saddam....what the fuck?????!!!!!!!!!!! what a narrow minded cunt! shes not from iraq, shes doesnt to pray to idols and she is a british citizen!!!!!!! he had no FUCKING right to say that to her and he had no right to say to me i cant be friends with 'non white' people. we shouted back and called him every name under the sun but it still got to us......no matter what cast/religion/colour anyone is they should be treated like everyone else.

he was one of these narrow minded fuckers who believes EVERYTHING bbc1 tell him, all muslims are terroists....he only thinks muslims are terroists............so lame!!!!!!!!!

i'm well pissed off..........but the fact is, she has to live with people making remarks about osama bin laden, and saddam hussain and george bush...its totally unfair....just because of her faith.



god he was a fucking cunt.
What a twat! I hate absolute cunts who have no idea about whta the fuck they're sayin or talkin about. They are so narrow-minded and its like they have tunnel vision or somethin. Get a life and get educated and realise that not everything you hear in the media or in your scummy little shack on the corner of some skank place in London is true. :mad:
