Is this racism?

OP claims she was there first.

Or, they may have meant, We've been waiting ages as in all of you. Does it really matter.

Technically the other people are of their own ethnicity; English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, Polish, German ecetera. Why didn’t you say you were there first?

It might be racism. It might be sexism. It might be “she’s not a regular”ism. It might be rudeness. It might be a combination. I’m afraid that as we weren’t there we’re unlikely to be able to tell.

Because a colloquialism literally means a spoken form of words.

But yes, I see what you’re getting at. I’ve never heard anyone say this, it makes my skin crawl for some reason!

White supremacy is default?! FFS, go tell that to the grooming gang victims.
Jesus christ.

Wish I hadn’t posted now. So obviously a wind up, story changing every post thread.

Perhaps give Wetherspoon’s a miss in future if you don’t like white working class people?

That’s a stupid response. You think you can win an argument with this, seriously?

It could be, or it might not. This happens to lots of people every day.

Lots of rude people around in general though.

What a load of rubbish

It could have been, but I'd say probably not. British people are used to queues. They lose their manners and become selfish when it comes to bars that don't have people in an orderly line waiting to be served.
Most people are likely to defend the elderly too.

there really isn’t enough evidence here at all to say it is . I often get ignored at bars because I’m short , it’s so frustrating . Queues are annoying and can bring out the worst in people , it’s not necessarily racism.

This is such a lazy argument. Why must people leave their home just for wanting it to be better?

It’s funny how you are fine accepting it maybe OP’s gender but certainly not her race.

I'll wait for all the posts telling you that you're imagining things. That not everything in life is about your sex and age. That if this happens to you it's absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with sex or age, it's something else entirely. That the time for this nonsense about sexism and ageism is over, older women have cried wolf too often. Because this is not a sexist or ageist country and we're not buying it anymore.

You asked them to check CCTV because you were at the bar first...

So many levels of crazy.

Happens to me a lot. White middle aged woman, entered my invisibility years a while back.

If its ao racist leave and go live somewhere else?

The older couple didnt butt in front, they said they'd been waiting ages, the man was probably just being a misogynistic twat. Dont see anywhere why it would be down to race. It it was, youd have been served last???

"I felt this was due to me being mixed race."

1. Not because you were a woman?
2. Not because you were younger than them and should give way to your elders?
3. Not because you weren't "from round here" and as a stranger /non-regular they felt you could damned well wait until the regulars had been served (the guy slamming his glass down sounds as if he's definitely a regular"?
4. Not because there's a preferred point in the bar that those wishing to be served gravitate to and since you've never been there before you didn't know that?

I think presuming every hiccup (because a dispute about who's first is pretty minor) must be because of your skin colour is a very pessimistic way to live.

It’s over. You’re a cultural ghost voice, flogging a dead horse, thinking it can still work to whine. Nope.

See.

I have only heard racists use it to describe others (especially white racists use it to describe non-white people).

It makes no sense though as everybody has an ethnicity.

I think you wear false nails.

Tell me about the time you didn’t get a job because you’re white. Or people stared at you in a shop because you’re white.

Do people really describe themselves as “ethnic”? The use of the word doesn’t even make sense in that way.
