pete you are the opposite to me and dont be so sure i am the minority.
as for your child i am sorry you had to go through that so i assume you feel for the English parents whos son was attacked with a hammer by a group of older muslims?
i dont promote violence in anyway i have old fashioned old English veiws although being"old fashioned" i beleive to be the best way forward.

Yes it's offensive to call someone a p*ki etc, but on the other hand why do some seem to think it's ok to call someone 'you white bitch'.., or 'whitey'
case of pot calling kettle black - or white depending on your view

I am not quite the PC lefty looney I sometimes appear Of course I have views on controlling immigration etc - I am a very proud Englishman - I just really struggle with racism. No matter who it is against - Whites, blacks, Asian etc.

Of course, i would argue with a Muslim racist equally.

It's not ok - its just as bad.

I agree with you, but it still happens, yet the racism towards asians etc gets more airing/reporting/comments than the racisim towards white people, don't you think?

There are two reasons for this I feel.
(i)There are actually more racist white people than racist asian black people in the UK (simply because there are far more white people in the UK)
(ii)The media is almost over compensating for the pretty dismal portrayal of black and asian people in the 60s/70s/80s Its like they are making up for past mistakes.
Hopefully in a decade or so there will be a balance.

The problem is you see, that racism was almost acceptable until quite recently. Don't get me wrong, we have come a lot way in making racism an uacceptable facet of society. But you are right, there is larger sawy of reporting of racism towards Asian/black people than white.
There are two reasons for this I feel.
(i)There are actually more racist white people than racist asian black people in the UK (simply because there are far more white people in the UK)
(ii)The media is almost over compensating for the pretty dismal portrayal of black and asian people in the 60s/70s/80s Its like they are making up for past mistakes.

hopefully in a decade all muslims will fully intergrate, clean up there act and stop ranting and raving like you would never notice there was there? in a nice way .
me and you are dreaming as these mediums will never happen.

To give a parallel, the Northern Ireland situation went on for years with tit for tat violence, and never solved anything. It still isnt great, but its a hell of a lot better than it was - And that hatred ran as deep as anything between the west and Muslims.
I cant understand your frustrations, my ex is frustrated as you are by the amount of asian and muslim people moving in to her area of Harrow. Her biggest hate are Somalians - She cannot stand them, and she is half west indian.
I dont think at heart you are as racist as your posts sometimes make you appear.
After all - saying you would like to see a country where muslims were fully integrated is a hell of lot bettet than "ship them all home"
We just all need tolerance, myself included.

so this is racism. but a white boy been attacked by over 10 guys with hammers etc all muslims isnt called a racist attack !! And this group have a reputation of mocking whites and blacks (I know Swindon, wroughton very very well so I know off these guys.
so its good to see everyone has the real issue in hand !
bollocks.

The answer is probably somewhere in the middle. To solve it, people need to talk. Hating is not the answer.

Jade Goody , fat, ugly, stupid,
Thats what gets, written, printed and said every day, fair enough maybe she is but is that not offensive and hurtful ?
Why is that any less offensive than overt racism, never mind the is it/isnt it debate going on home, why is insulting someones race so much more offensive than their weight, intelligence or looks.
Why is it not possible to tell a person of another race to 'go home' without everyone assuming that you are on some Enoch Powell trip, maybe there is an element of race in there but I would say its a small percentage of the overall conflict, there is class in there as well, Jade is basically queen of the Chav's and Shilpa a slightly haughty Indian 'Princess' type, a bit of a diva. Jade is of low intelligence and high emotion its no wonder they don't get on, dont know about the other two but why is the girlfreind of a footballer in there anyway, I used to deliver Clive Lloyds paper (he was a Cricketer in the 80's), would that get me in ?

i think this is just another case of political correctness gone wrong, it is being blown out of all proportion, shilpa is being bullied yes, not because she has different coloured skin though, the fuss becomes because she has different coloured skin, and its white people doing the bullying-emediately racist.
we see this in the press all more too often, in another thread on this board it showed how the bbc reported upon a boy being dragged out of school held down and beaten. they did not mention the men doing it were aisian and the boy was white, double standards????
i think the big **** take is hat the despatches program-again linked to on this board has had no publicity-and they were threating to take over the government and pledge ghad(holy war) on us non-muslims. but racism only happens if your not white- good thing to fall back on.

Yes, very fashionable at the moment to apologize and feel guilty for being white in some circles, I don't, I am not proud to be white, it just kind of happened and I don't have any feelings eiher way about it.
