Racism in uk

This is exactly right. It is about people not assimilating- people are fed up with the British cultures traditions being sidelined in favour of immigrants’ cultures. People can have their own subcultures at home but in school, work, public life the only cultures and traditions should be British. Trying to allow other culture equal or greater status in society at large is what’s driving division.

Some schools in Birmingham are either partially or wholly closing for Eid - some because they don’t have enough staff.

I literally told you Ive seen women in burkas swimming in swimming pools. And yes. It is unbelievable so I'm not surprised how incredulous you are. Would you not feel sorry for them too? Or are you so lacking in empathy.

You seem to be getting mixed up. I was agreeing with a pp that other nationalities often have far more problems with other nationalities than Brits do.

You're right the UK is very inclusive, you got there in the end. Aren't you proud to be part of such a kind and tolerant nation?

Muslim women don't wear a burka in the sea. What an ignorant thing to say.

But you're fine with Muslim women having to suffer that woman's unwanted pity for wearing a burkini?

Millions of women wear full sleeved rash guards up to their neck for protections against UV rays and full length swim leggings but she only picks on Muslim women, of course.

You've changed your tune on Indians and Pakistanis getting along, at least.

The UK is an inclusive countries and any racists will get called out, every time.

Im not talking about not wearing a swimsuit. Im talking about an actual burka. Dont be so ignorant.

That comment has got to be one of the most ridiculous comments so far. Good work!

I think you are right but per capita Jews are the most likely to experience racism. We have definitely been ignoring that as a society, it’s extremely sad and an indictment of where the Uk is today.

I think the problem is that people have been watching things like the pro pal marches, people appearing to support hamas, grooming gangs, some poor soul seems to be raped every few days it its often an afghan or small boats asylum seeker. I can imagine for many muslims it’s extremely painful to be associated with any extremist or criminal elements but I’m not sure what you do about that. People read and watch the news. I think people know that it would be ridiculous to stigmatise every single muslim.

Also social media is a cesspit, ignore it and be out in the world instead.

Was it pleasant for her to imply Muslim women are deserving of pity because they don't want to wear a bikini / swimsuit?

Ah, okay.

I think despicable is a strong word, but I certainly don’t think it’s acceptable for Brits to move to Spain, live in enclaves and refuse to integrate with the locals.

I think anyone with a brain can understand why the Spanish would have an issue with this. If the Spanish Government decided today to make it more difficult for Brits to move to Spain and/or impose specific measures with regards to residency and language/integration, I’m sure most people would be supportive of that.

I can’t imagine anyone would realistically think a solution would be for the Spanish to integrate within British ex pat communities, like @nomas seemed to think was a reasonable suggestion and expectation of British people in the UK.

Maybe they feel sorry for you having to shave your legs and get all those in grown hairs all over you.

There are issues between many nationalities globally. That doesn't mean that millions Brits and immigrants don't get along perfectly well. Glad we agree that we are a very inclusive country.

I can’t think of any non-english speaking country I have been to where the locals can’t speak a basic level of English, sure some migrants can’t speak the language, but I find “foreigners” are much more likely to speak English than we are their language.

There are issues between India and Pakistan as nations.

That doesn't mean that millions of ordinary Pakistanis and Indians don't get along perfectly well in the UK.

She says her Indian friends hate all Pakistanis, which would suggest her friends are far right extremists, this is not the norm and doesn't represent all Indians.

I was being sarcastic re it being despicable for British immigrants in Spain not to learn Spanish. My point was if that is the standard for immigrants in Britain then it needs to be the same for immigrants from Britain.

There are long standing issues between Indians and Pakistanis. It isn't 'bullshit'.

Many other nationalities are far more intolerant than Brits, we are extremely inclusive.

The poster said 'There's a long history of why Pakistanis and Indians don't get along.' and you said 'exactly'.

It's patently bullshit, millions of Pakistanis and Indians get along just fine in the UK, they don't need people like you and others stirring the pot.

What a very unpleasant thing to say. Are you suggesting we are all covered in ingrown hairs?

I was stating my experience <and I mentioned Filipinos not Indians> that many, many other nationalities are far more intolerant and racist than the very inclusive Brits.

Why are you dismissing other people's lived experiences?
