ever encountered any???

in one my black mate was being called the n word by some chavs at my local tennis courts
we legged it after them but they ran away, it was really horrible but i was actually more upset than him, makes you really take a different look at the world

[DamonJ]

I encounter it where I live all the time.
Packy this, packy that. It is utterly disgraceful.

[Axiom]

It is sick although the victims shouldn't take it to heart too much because it is the racists themselves who are insecure and idiots.

My asian friend was attacked by a gang of youths at a bus stop, and they were calling him some horrible names.

Spot on, and with each year now it does get easier, its almost pantomime mockery now, its so ridiculous.

I was once told to "go back home" whilst out shopping in my local town then Battersea in London (please no dog jokes, espeicially you Christina lol)

This woman spoke in a Geordie accent, I told her that I could see my home from where we stood, and if she didnt shut up Id knock her to within distance where she could see her home too.
But that was back in the day when I was bolshy now I'd just smile at her and walk by.... (yeah right )

I went out once for a friends leaving party and three of the guys we went out with, were black. We were just about to walk into a club when this guy came up to them, calling them every racial term under the sun- I actually got a bit worked up and was just about to start mouthing off when they all burst out laughing and told me he was a mate of theirs that was just winding me up

Sorry, that's not really a racism story is it? But it was funny.

On the serious side, I do hear a lot of bad things coming out of a town quite near me that I sometimes go out around. All the taxi drivers are white. I've been told it's because asian cab drivers would get attacked- you rarely if ever get any ethnic minorities out there. I hate the attitudes they have- such an imbred town! (I won't mention which town it is though )

[FrenchAffair]

I'm sure alot of people in England have experienced racism and don't even know it. The general attitude of the British goverment is racist against the majority.

[Tom]

I got called a white b*stard off some black lad

In fairness he was practically harassing my gf-at-the-time so I smacked him one

Didn't bother me in the slightest tbh, I could have thought of worse to call him by going down the same route and caused a lot more offense.

God there are some evil people in this world lol [/quote]

Tell me about it!

[Tasha_x]

yeah I have been called racist names and remarks like 'go back home'

[Loukas]

3 months ago my school had a trip to Italy and we went to a Italian theme park, Gardaland. We went on this ride called Blue Tornado, there was me and My mate Joe in front, My 2 black girl mates behind us and then Italian boys behind them. As the ride went up the slapped them and started calling them N***** and laughing and stuff, my mate started hitting back and stuff then they had a fight ON THE ROLERCOSTER. When we got off they started laughing and video recording THEY SPAT IN THERE FACE!!! THATS WHEN WE HAD ENOUGH! We all looked at each other, around 15-20 of us, we lashed out! we screamed, shouted, one boy, her boyfriend went abosultey crazy! SHE STARTED PUNCHING KICKING THEM LASHING OUT LIKE CRAZY!! They eventually went off.

In Italy it was a sports trip so we played Basketball against Italian schools! We won even tho the score was like 63:10 to them we won because they made racist comments. THE PARENTS BOOED WHEN THE BLACK KIDS HAD THE BALL!!!

Grrr that really p***ed us all off! BIGTIME!

Out of curiosity what heritage do you have?

[Tasha_x]

^African

[Indierock&roll]

yeah it really annoys me, theres people i know who just despise pacistanis ( dont know how to spell it ) and why? like there are terrorists who deserve to be hated but te ones that live near us and just live a normal life get hated.. they havnt done anything and it annoys me ...
also people who call chineese people "chincs" , i was on the bus once and this gang of lads were at the back, you know the usual black trackie lads.. and there was a little chineese boy , about 11 or something that missed the bus and when it was driving away they were knocking on the window to the boy and pulling the eyes trying to skit them and sayiing "chincs" to them.
it was horrible.

[MrGaryy]

My cousind says chinks all the time. I just ignore it because if I say anything she'll just get angry. She's a bad case of wanting be in the "cool crowd".

[amydropdead_x]

It was horrible one day..
I was on the way to Manchester sat on the bus upstairs with my Mum.
There was an african man sat at the back, and then a few stops later 3 really chavy lads got on the bus
with their caps, burberry, and tracksuits, plus bad haircuts
then i heard them taking the mick out of what he was saying (he was talking on the phone)
then they started throwing things at him.
Calling him monkeyboy.
then they started saying "what you doin ere anyway bruv, go back to yer own country you stupid ****."
it was horrible to witness
i felt like getting up myself and cracking them in the face
but then again their "gang" would probs come "get me"
Some people are horrid.

[MrGaryy]

I think the world we live in is a racist world.

End of.

[AirWalk]

You know what they say to me?
"open your eyes".Because I have chinese like eyes..

[Nurse57]

"My asian friend was attacked by a gang of youths at a bus stop, and they were calling him some horrible names."

Do you mind expanding on what they said? I guess "****" was not one of them as you have defended the use of the word in the past.


"I dont like racism, but I use the word "****" as it is dialect in the Burnley area, I dont use it offensively, I just use it cause I cant be bothered saying "Pakistani or Asian cause I grew in a area where theres a culture clash"

******. I don't say that offensively. It is just dialect.

[GiRTh]

I've been called so many words and been involved in so many racist incidents I cant even recall most of them.

[Sunny_01]

I am lucky enough never to have been subjected to anything as vile as racism.

[LosersAreYou]

Racism is pretty sad but in complete honesty I never understand how people get so upset about just words don't get me wrong I don't condone it. But if you get so upset about N words and stuff it Just shows to the attacker that you are insecure about the colour of your skin. Seriously a lot of worse things get said and happen in the world. Violent racist attacks fair enough but generally those are just sick people who even if everyone was the same race/colour would find a reason to fight.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt.

[melanie]

I live in a multicultural city but racism is everywhere. There are stupid kids calling THEMSELVES chinks, *******, white trash, etc and when someone else calls them that, they get offended.

It is only racist if white people use those words.
