To think this is racist?

[Toospicey]

This FB post is doing the rounds amongst my friends.

Is it just me?

You'd use this language?

To be honest, I could not careless what some random posts on Facebook it only offends you if you let it. If you read shit expect to get shit. Report it to Facebook and move on. He'll should be just burn every piece of text that offends us or just ignore it or remove it from your life.

Yes this.
I didn't realise there were 4 pages so initially didn't think so but the last page and the above sentence yes it's racist.

It doesn't surprise me one bit. There are many dark corners of Kent that are inherently racist, slurs are just used as normal language, proud brexit voters to get rid of the "forriners" etc.

One Asian man doing something, and she's "warning" people about Asian men as a collective. That's racist, end of story.

There's just no need to mention nationality or ethnicity etc.
Not all kidnappers are Asian and not all Asians are kidnappers.
To mention it is just inciting racism and hatred, and there's enough of that in the world already.

Happy to use a variation of a common Arabic name for her little princess though

The first time his race was mentioned it was a description, the second time it was racist

I think it's a bit weird that in a story where she claimed her child was being abducted she posted a little 'on my holibobs plane emoji'.

Or that she'd give this much info about an ongoing investigation and risk the person not getting in any trouble at all.

And Ashford High Street is one of the darkest. Trust me.

In fact, as she's so trigger happy getting the police involved, I'd be inclined to report her for hate speech, but then I'm a shit stirrer like that.

Why all the preamble about getting 'holiday nails' done?

This.

If you don't agree try switching the word 'Asian' for 'short' or 'tall'.

I doubt it's true anyway. FB is full of this racist bollocks.

Why are you even having to ask? Why are you doubting yourself?

And? Are you assuming she’s white with no Arabic connections? We have no idea of her own ethnicity or religious background. All we can deduce is that she’s probably not Chinese.

The first mention of the man's heritage could very reasonably be interpreted as descriptive.

The two further references to his race are racist because they are not descriptive and generalise about Asian men.

I would like to point out that the man in question did try to defend his attempted abduction by saying it was a "cultural misunderstanding", the quotations marks suggest it is a direct quote.

Absolutely racist and probably bollocks.

this…with bells on

The OP, 'Toospicey', has played you.

“Help warn people about what some of these Asian people are doing” is racist

I didn’t see anything racist in the first couple of pages, more a description

Because none of the FB comments mentioned that it's racist.
I live in Kent and I'm used to hearing some awful comments about the boat arrivals. I wondered if I spend so long arguing against racism that I was looking for it where it doesn't exist?
I'm glad to see some people on here agree with me.

Lost me at holiday nails

??

This!!

If it was a white British man would have posted the exact same story in the same way? Warning people of middle aged white British men out in the streets doing this. I do doubt it.
