Iteresting and true

More on the fact that it is not apparently true here.  It began 4 years ago as happening in an American grocery store.

lambert:
This event may or may not be true. However it is representative of a wide spread view held by some ethnic groups in this country.
 
Now befor any one bites my head off, I work in a deprived area of bradford which has a majority asian and other ethnic demographic, and on numerous occasions i have similar and worse things said to me, even as far as to be verbally abused over the fact that my van is white with a red cage! Apparently it is a abstract of our flag, not so you can see it for safety sake!

Lee_D:
H'mmmm I suspect this thread is best ended here.

It's too much of a hot potatoe for a club forum IMHO.

Good point, and well made.

I'm not going to enter into why I felt the 'joke' was contentious - I'll leave that to membership to try and figure out for themselves.

The view 'expressed' by the woman in the joke is representative of a view held by many residents of the western world - ethinicty is irrelevent.  :wink:

I'm not locking this thread yet, but if we get a sniff of it becoming a spud too hot to juggle, it will get shut. Discuss the points it raises by all means, but disrespect won't be acceptable.

Cheers

Surely the opinion is of the individual, not of the forum as a whole.
Its not a forum designed, or arranged to incite racial hatred, and surely as such, if  a member chooses to discuss such an issue, or even has an opinion which appears to be racially motivated, then the opinion is purely their own.
