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

I believe this 100%. Travel to other countries and you'll see how much more racist people are. A LOT more.

The stats say now that racism, well, hate crime is on the rise, I guess some of that can be down to people reporting it more. However, it certainly rife on social media, we even see it here. It's disheartening that folk are going backwards. To me it reminds me of the 70's where it's overt.

Tell that to the Muslim woman who was subject to a racist murder attempt when a man tried to run into her car a couple of days ago simply for being a Muslim.

I think she would tell you where to go.

Because other countries are doing worse, doesn't mean we don't have a lot of racism.

So what's your mission? To level up?

I do actually agree. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.

I’ve travelled a lot and the U.K. is fantastic. Generally people are welcoming and communities are integrated.

No, the whole school closes for Christmas - 2 weeks usually.

Pretend?
You know what I'm thinking now?
How very clever of you..

So why is the whole school not closed now then, for ALL the kids- like it is at Christmas?

But Nikabs are worn permanently. Sunglasses / helmets etc are not. Try to properly connect with a person wearing a motorcycle helmet or sunglasses and it’s nearly impossible. So much communication is lost, as is facial expressions. People who genuinely want to assimilate will ditch the headgear. And yes, I mean nun’s wimple etc too.

I showed my dear old friend in Rome the news when the riots were taking place. She lived in London for a few years in her youth but she was shocked at what was happening here. Her words were something along the lines of 'what happened? The UK was such a fab, kind place to be'. She was pretty saddened.

That's rich, you run away from communities that have brown people and then complain their have ghettoised themselves. Why don't you stay and integrate with the cultures around you.

This is quite patently false, schools aren't allowed to reduce teaching days for religious holidays.

So... how do they communicate with the wider society?
Healthcare for example.
Oh yes... a triple appointment and a translator.

Because in some areas immigrants make no effort to integrate at all. It can be fairly lonely living somewhere where once you knew everyone on your street, now no one is prepared to talk to you not least as they have made no attempt to speak English. See PP’s family in Spain.

Maybe employed BAME people should start an equivalent campaign against unemployed white people and racist white people? Maybe the BAME tolerance tide is turning too.

yeah, for everyone. Not just christians...

I promise it's not. We're East London...

You are not being too sensitive. Muslim myself and a single parent. I have a habit to read the news on Facebook ... If the news arcticle features a non white person, the comments are awful, enough to stop me from eating and sleeping.
For example a recent migrant boat that sank with children who drowned, comments were -

Christmas has come early
As tesco says, every little helps
This is the best news I've heard all day
This has made my day

Etc .. just the worst comments celebrating the death of these ppl. All these comments made by white English ppl

Not just that but Any news article featuring a non white, so even a missing child who is non white, the comments are atrocious, it gives you tears in your eyes to read them

Yep, and that crime won't be reported as Islamophobic crime, which obscures the true number of hate crimes against people who look Muslim.

Because Eid is not a nationally-recognised public holiday?

Agree that the comments under FB news stories can be utterly horrifying. Who are these people? Aren’t they at all concerned about airing their views to the wider public?

There is loads of inclusivity and diversity in this country.

Go try holding a Mass in a public high profile place in a predominantly Muslim country. Then you'll see hate and division, probably extreme voice. Not just a bit of moaning on X.

I used to live and work in a ME country, all displays of Christianity were forbidden. Understandably so really but we didn't moan that weren't included or anything.

Screen grab from school letter:

So why are they off school then?
