I think it's ridiculous really that soooooo many people worry about all of this nonsense. My best friend is white, but he has an Asian wife who is simply wonderful and I go round to their house often and she is so chatty and hospitable and friendly and such a nice person. She is Asian and she is a human being just like the rest of us. Her skin is not white, but sooooooo what. I was talking one day about the subject of Race, well, there was about four of us actually and she said that friends of her's own a newsagents and one day she went in to buy some magazines and suddenly while browsing through them, she heard the guy behind the counter who is also Asian saying nasty comments about a white customer right in front of his face in his Urdu language and the white english only speaking customer is totally unaware of this. Anyway, she had a right go at the shopkeeper and accused the Asian man of being racist to the customer and using the Language-Barrier as a weapon. I don't agree that all persons who have a different skin colour to white are racist or not racist and same thing applies to white people. We shouldn't label a race or say - colour of skin, we should say INDIVIDUALS and leave it at that
