Racism in uk

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?

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

I have no skin in the game, nor did the pp who said her Indian friends don't get along with them. It's just bloody obvious looking at the history why many Indians and Pakistanis don't get along. For some reason the other poster jumped on her for it.

Please stop trying to normalise the idea that all Indians and Pakistanis hate each other in the UK.

It's ridiculous and a total lie. It might suit you to believe it but it's bullshit.

Ive seen women in burkas swimming in swimming pools. Perhaps they prefer it but it does make me feel sorry for them personally.

But its Jewish people that are suffering racism in this country. Not Israelis.

Exactly!

Another example I worked in the ME and fillipinas could not stand other Asian nationalities going to extremes of leaving staff rooms when someone entered. Of course none of the apparently colonial loving Empire supporting Brits would have behaved like this as we are very tolerant, inclusive and nice.

If only others would follow our example.

That is about British born people who don’t have language barriers!!

Does it matter who is most likely to experience racism? It's not a race to the bottom. No amount of racism is acceptable.

I'd be shocked if many people- except Badenoch obviously- who are visibly not white hadn't experienced racism. I'm entirely white passing but still had the experience of all my classmates circling me in primary school and making fake native American war noises because they found out my mum was Indian.

One of the worst, most divisive new things is this Jewish vs Muslim / Jewish vs Black rubbish. Can we make it racists vs everyone else please? It's not acceptable to parrot conspiracy theories about Jewish or Muslim people. It's not acceptable to say, as Diane Abbot did, that Jewish people don't know what real racism is. It's not acceptable to downplay the epic racism that Muslim people face by saying Jewish people have it worse. Mosques and Synagogues have been attacked. It is all horrific.

OP starts a thread about how an increase in racism is getting her down. and all the racists promptly turn up to make it quite clear that they are entirely justified in their racist views! They are loud and proud these days, depressing but sadly predictable, Op has been proven right. Mumsnet like a lot of other social media sites has also become more racist.

I think you are being ignorant to what that poster is saying. It's really not normal for Indians in the UK to hate all Pakistanis or for Pakistanis to hate all Indians.

Anyone suggesting this is promoting hate and division.

I think you are being rather ignorant. There's a long history of why Pakistanis and Indians don't get along.

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.

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.

But people are entitled to wear what they like (within certain reasonable limits, e.g. appropriate coverage and nothing that could cause harm) because it is their body and you can't say what you like about another person because a) manners and b) not causing harm

Of course stats are based on what's reported, how else could we possibly gather said stats?
Are you suggesting muslims in the UK are more likely to be racially abused just because you say so? Without stats to back it up? You're also doing a disservice to the Muslim population by saying they can't speak English and are so ignorant that they can't find out the proper information regarding who to report to.

I think anyone who can hate an entire nation of people, as you said your friends do, isn't capable of being intelligent.

Reform may win, but it will be a disaster for this country.

That isn’t accurate at all - where do I say that? I’ve said they have certain views on Pakistan - I’ve never intimated my view on that. Please try and keep this accurate

I’m sure they will be looking at what each party has to offer, and making their decision. They’re very intelligent people who run their own businesses so will undoubtedly be looking at this from many angles. So do you think Reform
will win, you seem very focused on them.

Hang around here long enough and you'll soon see it.

Of course all racism is equally abhorrent, but not everyone seems to agree.

See upthread the comments from one poster who is proud that her Indian friends hate all Pakistanis.

Probably more report it nowadays.

Except that within a few posts she was told anti-Semitism is worse than racism to Muslims. Hardly coming together to fight all intolerance is it?
