Unhappy Waterloo Road's Racist Episode Really Shocked Me.

Basically for those that don't watch or missed it:

A New Polish Care-Taker has been given a job at Waterloo Road.
One of the pupil's dad had applied for the job but didn't get it [this turned out to be a lie, the thing was he never showed up to the interview, but that isn't the point].

Anyway so the Polish guy, lovely bloke, was given the job.
Basically he was fixing a H.E oven when a boy kicked his tool box and he told him not to play with tools, in a nice manner.
So the boy basically made fun of his language and then the teacher supported what he boy was saying and told the Polish one to leave the class.

This kicked off a series of events where two boys were wrecking the school and stuff, so the care taker would have to clean it up or quit.

They then went into his office and wrecked this too.




Now,

Anyone that knows me Online or Offline, knows that I'm abit of a racist when it comes to Polish people.
I have my reasons, not going to go into them.

However, It literally broke my heart last night watching that episode of WR.
The poor guy did nothing wrong at all, and the English ones were completely bullying him.

When they went into his office, and trashed it and tore up his Polish Flag and a picture of him and his Son back in Poland, I was just staring at the TV in shock.

They also wrote 'Immigrants Go Home' on his Office Wall.



Did this episode upset anyone else or open your eyes abit?
I feel so differently towards Polish Workers now and discriminating.
So this isn't a complaint or a 'I'ma report this to Ofcom x' rant.


I'd like to say Thank You to Waterloo Road for this episode, infact I've wrote a Compliment to BBC about it.

I'm going to think twice before I say anything to or about Polish Workers again.

The thing that bothered me most about this episode was George Sampson's acting, it was more cringe worthy than ever

But yes, it was a surprisingly good episode.

If foreign immagrants did not take our jobs / houses / benefits etc (Mostly Illegally) then there would be no predudice against foriegn minorites. I do welcome foriegn migrants who enter the country LEGALLY and woogrark like EVERYBODY ELSE in the country but any immigrant who does so ILLEGALLY and FRAUDILENT should expect backlash, which is unfair. You can blame newspapers and the media for alot of the predudice against immigrants. Tougher laws are needed to stop such mass immigration and predudice.

I did not watch the program.

Yeah, That douche is only there for his looks and even at that he looks like a wet frog.

Fin Sharky would have him if they let the two of them fight without Tom Clarkson jumping in.

No Stu, It is a National Television Award voted for by the public in their thousands.
Very popular show for the BBC.

It has gotten poorer over the last year or so but it's still better than most shows like Soaps.
