There seemed to be one of them who was 'the boss' so to speak, an older guy who told him to calm down and get out, which did chill it all down immediately. But yeah, not allowed to talk about it apparently

That's the thing Vicky you can talk about your experience, and you have done and nobody apart from me has questioned you about it, but I guarantee you if I started talking about a negative experience I had about another group using sterotypes I would be called all sorts even though I might qualify it with ' I know that all xxx are not like this' , the world is a pretty stupid place at the moment and that is the point I am making
