Right to dump or over reacting?

[MADEinLONDON]

Tell me I was right to dump?!

Seeing a guy for a few months, just casually. Then he sends me this charming little meme (that will hopefully be posted below).

My younger two kids dad is brown skinned (though they are pale like me). He knows this. I can have a laugh and a joke about anything really and have gallows humour but such a grim, racist joke (particularly after recent events in this country) has turned my stomach as well as making me feel like he's having a personal dig at my kids and their dad. Showing his superiority?

Anyway, he's history (and currently playing the innocent victim) but just feel a bit sick that I've slept with someone who actually thinks like this. Grim.

Did I do the right thing?

Absolutely. He is a dick and you dodged a bullet.

BTW, I am white skinned, red hair freckled and also mixed race, as are my DC's.

Why do people think racism is funny? Becuase that's what that meme is racist!

I wouldn't want to date someone that thinks that way about people with different colour skin, you done good getting rid

That's awful! I couldn't be with someone who found humour in that! Just so offensive

Thanks guys - I was hoping my instincts were right in this one. Seeing him in a whole new light. It's no loss as I had other concerns (it was hardly serious however) but his text literally made my fanny shrivel up, lol. What a shit, eh?!

That's extremely offensive. I would have nothing more to do with this racist idiot. You're absolutely right to have dumped him, OP.

You did the right thing.

lbt

Yuck. Yes, that is most definitely grounds for dumping. Awful. You're well rid.

Eugh what a bellend

That's really inappropriate, nasty and racist. You're well rid.

Bleurgh.

Racist wanker. Yep 100% right decision OP.

He's now all offended that I finished with him via WhatsApp (the platform on which he had sent me this "comedy gold" as he referred to it) and is now calling me cold hearted for refusing to meet him in person. I'm going to block him in a bit but I'm sort of enjoying his shitty reaction as it's confirming to me that I was spot on to get shot of him. Might let him carry on for a bit! Definitely one of these for me once all the kids are in bed...x

Does he know that's why you finished with him? Does he realise he's a racist prick?

What a tit! 'Comedy Gold' ... FFS!

Yep. Totally agree- it's just not going to work out if he thinks that's ok! Do meet with him in person though... keep it short and sweet. It's the decent thing to do at the end of the day.

Yes you are right. Gosh this country is becoming so openly racist. Lived here all of my adult life, was never on the dole, work, I'm married to a British man and I still get shitty remarks every now and then.

I wouldn't bother meeting him. He's shown his true self and he's a racist git. Instant excommunication is the price you pay for sending shit like that.

Yuck - what a pathetic little wankbadger he is.

Refilona for you

Well done OP.

I was hoping my instincts were right in this one

You don't need instinct to dump a racist you need a brain and some integrity. How are you even questioning whether you were right?

Thank you @FizzyGreenWater. First comment I heard a year ago at work after the brexit referendum: "so miss, you buzzing to be deported?" - from a kid, but still...

That's appalling! Yes you did the right thing! What a twat!
