West African/Indian and white British culture aren’t comparable in a lot of areas. Not least when it comes to raising kids.

That might sound funny but I just think it’s about time people of colour started calling certain things for what they are even if it doesn’t sound mega-PC. Different cultures and that.

Black mums as a rule hit their kids. There’s always exceptions but as a rule. It’s deeply rooted in culture.

Armand’s the only black guy on this thread anyway that I know of so that doesn’t count.

I don’t think people understand the differences in our cultures. Black parents don’t do naughty step.

I’d think it would’nt be skin colour that is the defining factor but culture.I.E the countries that the first generation came from.

It’s hard having these conversations with pure English people.

Maybe its coz I'm not west African. I'm Rwanda and although and although my cousins do get hit they never really seemed as worried about getting beatings as my Nigerian/Ghanian friends did.

And I’m mixed. Nigerians joke about the beatings their mum gave them growing up. It’s actually all banter because none of them grew up in protected environments where the worst thing that could happen to them for calling their mum the c word was time out on the flipping naughty step.

How about you have it with me. . What change in culture are you referring to?

I fear the point’s being sorely missed. Me saying white English was purely out of convenience and you know it.

Like I say we don’t have the same cultutal approach with things like this so I’m ending it here.

Why you getting personal with people, it's obvious you're talking from experience but you can't assume Irish white parents are softer ?!!, If you want to get technical what about northern Irish as people joke about the accent being stronger ,but again you can't stereotype .

I wasn’t assuming anything about Irish people. I just used English as a generic catch-all.

But we know everyone has different cultures and will always discipline their kids differently. It's also a generation thing as well as alot of parents probably had a tougher childhood and their parents were probably stricter .

Nah. Nigerian/West African discipline is on a whole new scale. Not even in the tiniest bit comparable. Not even.
