I have a date with a man next week and he seems lovely from just speaking with him so far. He has Asian ethnicity in him and English. I showed my mum a picture of him and she turned around and went "He looks muslim" then a load of comments of how I shouldn't go on a date with him, he looks horrible etc. I am so angry at her for being racist and judgemental! Both my parents are racist and I hate, absolutely hate it! They are both so small minded. And I know what she is going to do try put me off any chance she can. She always has it she doesn't like the look of them. Any Any thing ethnicity other than white/British then she has a bad opinion. In our last conversation I actually told her to f**k off because i was so enraged with her.

Oh, should have put 'as if' Jimmy Savile was Muslim' because otherwise the racists would have had reason to moan

And lastly, I've never met a nice racist. Including my family members.

It shows an ability to cut off empathy for a fellow human based on skin colour or label.

@mybeebop

What the hell does your taste in chocolate have to do with it? You didn't express a preference in taste in men, you advised OP to be cautious of Muslim men based on very little. You made discrimitary comments about a large group of people based on your limited interaction with them, that is not the same as liking a kit kat more than a wispa. There's a sentence I never thought I would write.

It's much more like saying 'I was mugged by a group of black men once, be careful of your purse if you date one'. Unacceptable, and racist.

This thread has been derailed!
This guy is not a Muslim and has no religion. He is half Asian very different!
I was saying my mum says he looks Muslim, which I don't agree with. She is just being judgmental on looks based on what she believes a Muslim looks like. Which actually enrages me more!

My family are the same so I get it. Just a word of warning though. Is he Muslim? I worked with a Muslim guy. He had an arranged marriage but used to pretend to be single and use dating sites to go round shagging white women. No remorse at all. Him and his brothers and cousins all did it. So you want to be careful as somebody from that culture is likely arranged for already and not truly available. Just be careful.

What utter bull. As if white married men don't go dating websites to shag women. 🙄

You are being very racist against 'that culture' as you call it.

And how strange that you know about these 7 cousins and the fact that they were all married and shagging white women. Or were you shagging them all?
