Everywhere, all around you. They are looking, They're in your office chattering about immigration, they're in your local shop judging a black guy for the amount of money they have in there wallet, assuming criminality. They are possibly even your friends. AIBU in thinking even apologists are racist scum?

In Newcastle. That's hundreds of miles away!! To think i wasted all that tea-drinking time checking for Nazi stormtroopers on zimmer frames when they are actually in Newcastle tucked up in bed in the Tyne Residential Home for Old Nazis

HoneyDragonWearingLederhosen · 06/07/2012 23:09

or not? even.

Aye, am happy someone didn't the word Nazi so seriously . What I mean is in a county that is meant to be open and modern why is their so much racism and why is it to the extreme it is. I live in Newcastle

I don't know OP.

I think the media has a lot to do with stirring up crap that people swallow and I think people will have their own personal, misguided reasons for being racist.

It's the same all over the world really.

I also only use MN once in a blue moon to do something like this. I was wondering how many people would make a joke out of the very serious matter that is the edl, nf, the bnp and all the other neo Nazi splinter groups. Without the casual side of the racism these groups would promptly be demoted from political existence. Just saying.... Worra liberty? What do you call the Chinese takeaway? Just out of interest .

I call mine * Chinese. As that;s what it's called.

HoneyDragonWearingLederhosen · 06/07/2012 23:14

We had a good thread a while a go on casual racism. It is alwayssurprising so see what people think is ok.

manhavingbaby · 06/07/2012 23:14

The media undoubtedly have fuckloads to do with the division of communities by prejudice in what ever form. For instance why are so many people a scared of muslims

"Disgusting and over priced"

But that's just my local Grin

I know what you're saying OP. My son was racially attacked a couple of years ago, just 3 minutes from home by a gang who held a knife to his throat...went through his pockets and stole his phone and his money.

They thought it was hilarious that around 15 of them should shout racist insults at him and strut away slowly with his phone, as though no-one could touch them.

By the time the Police got there, they were long gone and so no-one did touch them for it Sad

I can only hope they didn't learn that sort of hatred at home and that if their parents knew what they'd done, they'd be just as mortified as I was.

manhavingbaby · 06/07/2012 23:17

I hear alot of people in Newcastle still call a takeaway ' the chinkies ' at hospitals where I have worked the staff think it's an acceptable thing to shout down t

Nice to see the ball rolling. I see why people laughed at the use of the word Nazi . However that's what I believe all racists are.

My Chinese is lovely but very over priced too Worra

T'hallways Grin

WorraLiberty · 06/07/2012 23:23

Sorry OP for laughing Blush

It wasn't really the use of the word 'Nazi'...it was more of the 'they're everywhere' type of thing.

You're right of course they are everywhere but that's because human beings are everywhere....and some of them are racist.

Hope so.

manhavingbaby · 06/07/2012 23:36

Where theres people theres racists is exactly my issue. That needs sorting. Cause where theres racists theres hatred etc.

My Gran used to say "it takes all sorts to make a world" Wink

She also used to say "there's nowt so queer as folk" but that was in 1962. It is obviously inappropriate to say that now

OliviaLMumsnet · 06/07/2012 23:43

Is that because i'm apparently a skeleton? HmmConfusedGrin
Or because actually I have been low carb ing and lost 8 lbs.
fails to mention she rather needs to lose at least another 8
