There are ignorant people all over the world! I don't know what the capital of Clakmannanshire is, in fact I don't even know how to spell Clakmannanshire. I do know where Ayrshire is mind.

Indeed, unless you an African living in Africa chances are you are the product of migration.

This is why I 'facepalm' at the BNP when they talk about indigenous Britains.

There is a small racist in everyone. Period.

True, but there is a difference in preferring people similar to yourself and out and out discrimination.

What's the difference?

Only difference I see is how some are more hypocrites than others denying it.

If he does not like black music does that make him a racist?
Are you going to tell me that I am racist if I don't like chinese music??

No he said that it was because they were black. It's fine to not like certain types of music but to do so based purely on the colour of someone's skin isn't. I'm not a big fan of generic Indian music because I don't like the sound of it, I wouldn't dream of dispelling it purely based on nationality or skin colour.

And I know that there are racists across the political spectrum, it's just a bit more in your face towards the right.

Exactly. It's just that some people are smaller so the racist makes up a higher proportion of them :p

I have particular countries which perhaps I like and others which I like more. But to actually go and be rude to someone or treat them differently because of that? No, I certainly wouldn't treat someone differently because of where they came from. I treat people differently when they treat me badly :)

Agreed. I generally as a rule don't like music of black origin. Not because they's black but cos it's crap :p

We were all left gobsmacked!

I moved to a country where i could speak the language well.

The Euros that come to UK in a lot of cases can not speak the language or if they can, its very poor. All part of the reason i had to move away when i would walk up my high st and find that i was the odd one out listening to all the languages that were being spoken. To be able to enjoy the benefits of living in UK, you should be able to speak English well enough to be able to carry out a conversation.. whats wrong with my thinking that???

Its a sad day when someone considers on this forum that i'm the one with the problem when all i want is for people that come to the UK to enjoy the benefits of living there that i just think that they should be able to talk in English to an acceptable level
