Racism in uk

[Charltonstrek]

Im finding the level of racism here in the UK to be very unsettling and it seems to be getting worse and im finding it depressing as I have a Muslim partner and I wonder if there is a future here for him. Ive mostly witnessed this on social media with some very derogatory comments anybody else or am I too sensitive

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

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

Nice twisting of what I actually said, which is that it's tedious for white people to flee an area and then complain that the area they left behind now only has ethnic minorities.

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

It’s not a competition. Ugh. Poor taste.

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.

There is racism in the U.K and there always has been. There is racism in every country in the world. Humans are racist.

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

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?

Im not talking about a burkini though. Im talking about an actual burka and swimming in it. Dangerous if nothing else.

Is that why Muslim women wear a burkini? I had no idea.

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.

But on the whole Indians and Pakistanis don't have issues with each other in the UK. They are not living in India and Pakistan, they have the sense not to get embroiled in issues that are thousands of miles away. So your point was redundant.

Keep thinking about it, you'll get there in the end.

It is a tolerant nation and we will keep it that way by calling out every racist. Every time.

Again, Muslim women don't wear burkas in swimming pools, they are not allowed to be worn in pools.

Full length swimsuits for women are not burqas.

'But on the whole Indians and Pakistanis don't have issues with each other in the UK'

But on the whole Brits and Muslims don't have issues with each other in the UK. Sadly there are extremists and racists but there are the minority, no?

Does it honestly matter what people wear to swim? As long as private parts are covered I’m not really assed!

My kids’ school (N London) scheduled school performances/mocks around Jewish holidays as so many kids were off. What’s your opinion on that?

As a non-Jew I was fine with it as it made sense.

Agreed.

Headscarfs and full face coverings are totally different and you know it.

Why on earth is being unhappy about successive Governments policies a licence to be racist ?

Your post is dripping with racism, you obviously don't understand the issues around immigration, legal or otherwise , otherwise you wouldn't think it's easy to fix.

Your post is similar in tone to the thick and racist Reform voters who are going to vote for that clueless, grifting party because they committed to less brown people being in the country ( without having a clue how to legally do that even if it wasn't morally reprehensible)

OP, sorry about your husband. Yes racism is open and thriving, as you can see by some on here.

She specifically said she doesn't want Muslim women to be allowed to wear head scarves.

Really? Well, there’s only one of us trying to make sure one group of people aren’t allowed to mention racism against them. And it isn’t me.
I notice your subsequent antisemitic comment has been deleted though, that’s something at least.

It may be a choice for some women, but not all. I personally knew many young women who were in my daughters year at school and were friends of hers, they were told they had to wear a scarf, they had no choice, these girls were 12/13 years old at the time.

There is a double standard at play here.

If someone brings up Islamophobia in the first few posts on an OP talking about about anti-Semitism, they would instantly be accused of derailing.

What did she say?

A nun's wimple doesn't cover her face. More comparable to a hijab than nikab.

I agree with you about communication. It was harder in Covid times when people had masks on. However, it's not a good enough reason to make something illegal imo.
