Understandable really, a lot of people don't like foreigners. Who would deny that ?

Im confused, what race was she hating Helissio ?

By:
I quite admire her.

I liked the pakistani owner of the white horse (smashing little pub)west london, complaining about all these asylum seekers bused in. Damaging his business - I wonder if he was a honkey he would have been having a racist outburst too!!!
as for the black woman - she has a point - Islam is not from this country it is a foreign politco pseudo religion that wishes to dominate the world. It does not belong in this country. Until you realise that, you will realise nothing about what Muslims and Islam means. |

What district was that from?
There's plenty of stuff like that around. I saw one once where an Asian woman went straight to the front of the queue at a bus stop and got on the bus. A black woman got on straight after, and she didn't half give her stick over it. The Asian woman was petrified, didn't say a word and just looked straight ahead. They hate each other. And the whites are in the middle. |

I would like to place a big bet on that Helissio doesnt answer my question.
odds ? |
|
By:
I used to go in a shop that was run by an Asian.
On day I noticed he'd added a Perspex screen by the side of the till on the counter. I said ''what's that for?'' He said ''a coloured chap reached over and tried to grab some money from the till the other day. We get a lot of trouble from coloureds round here.'' I had to laugh at his use of the word coloured. |

Hilarious, a Pakistani bloke with a Black Country accent running down the coloureds.

Since when did Islam become a race?
|
|
By:
They hate each other. And the whites are in the middle.
It's worse than that. The white people who make the laws are bending over backwards to make white people appear to be the racists. No other race apart from white people can seemingly be a 'racist' according to the Anti-Racism Industry, and its many self-imagined Anti-Racists. |

By:
yeh I haven't looked it up yet, but I think she's being prejudiced rather than racist.
Not a great advert for Diversity™ |
|
By:
Diversity is one thing and I'm sure no one has a problem with that.When you get groups of people the size of cities coming from foreign lands that have nothing but contempt and disdain for the country they have gone to then that's something else.

By:
race is too broad a term - race is simply just based around physically apperarance .
the real problem is to do with different cultures . That's what one hates about the other - would be ridiclous in the extreme disliking someone because they had a certain facial make up or skin colour - so why is the term racist ever used ? carrib'ns v african immigrants is quite a fixture these days |
|
By:
The funny thing is they don't just hate us but they hate one another. Their different sects have been killing one another in their millions in recent modern history. Shia V sunni but there are more sects than just that.
|

By:
I don't hate anyone for the colour of their skin but I can hate who I like for the way they are/act and for that I can't stand the smelly ****s .

Trying to divide the west and undermine Israel, the only democratic and civil country in that awful region.

The Saudis are threatening to lash an elderly British man for having home made wine. This is the nature of these barbaric countrys. Support all sanctions against this vile country.This would be a test case.
|
|
By:
Yes and that's after he's spent a year in jail.
It was to be 360 lashes but this was cancelled although they are now reviewing that decision. Barbaric right enough. |
|
By:
He knew very well how these people view the drinking of alcohol. Yet he was apparently brewing the stuff.
It's a barbaric punishment especially given his age, but that is their law and their country and how they do things out there. That's why they don't have the enormous problems with drink and drugs that we do. |

By:
she's been arrested now

By:
Common place seemingly DrC but yep it is their country but a barbaric country at that.

By:
It is bad to do evil in the name of the law.

By:
Interesting they are going for a racially aggravated charge. Racially ?? So is that a legal quibble or was the woman addressing them as muslims which is surely religious but then their religion is now a protected 'species'.
|
|
By:
Indeed, as I pointed out above, when did Islam become a race?
If a sunni insults a shia, is that also racism? |
|
By:
It depends upon the insult.
|
|
By:
Don't worry, the daft and 'progressive' will ALWAYS find a way to excuse a racist if the racist doesn't have white skin. (See Rotherham, Rochdale and umpteen other UK cities for examples).

Mobo and Wesdag - this may help your uncertainty. You probably need to read all of it to answer your questions re race vs religion.
Hope this helps. Crime and Disorder Act 1998 (as amended) This Act came into force on 30 September 1998 and created a number of specific offences of racially aggravated crime, based on offences of wounding, assault, damage, harassment and threatening/abusive behaviour. Monitoring had indicated that these types of crime were those most commonly experienced by victims of racial violence or harassment. The Act was amended by the Anti-terrorism Crime and Security Act 2001, which came into effect on 14 December 2001. It extended the scope of the Crime and Disorder Act by creating new specific religiously aggravated offences and applying the same sentencing duty to all other offences where there is evidence of religious aggravation. The Act was amended further by the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, which came into effect on 25 November 2012. It created new specific offences of stalking and it also created racially and religiously aggravated versions of these offences. The legislation provides definitions of racial groups and religious groups in the following terms: "A racial group means a group of persons defined by reference to race, colour, nationality (including citizenship) or ethnic or national origins." The definition is wide and victims may come within the definition under more than one of the references. Gypsies and some travellers, refugees or asylum seekers or others from less visible minorities would be included within this definition. While Romany gypsies have long been recognised as a ethnic racial group (Commission for Racial Equality v Dutton [1989] QB 783), in more recent times and certainly since the first instance discrimination case of O'Leary v Punch Retail (HHJ Goldstein, Westminster County Court, 29 August 2000), Irish Travellers have also been considered an ethnic racial group. Whilst this has not been considered by an appellate criminal court, the O'Leary case is regarded as being persuasive if the point is ever taken. There has been a legal ruling that Sikhs are included in the definition of a racial group (Mandla v Dowell-Lee [1983] 2 AC 548). In the Mandla case, reference is made to the judgment in King-Ansell v Police [1979] 2 NZLR 531 as being a persuasive authority for Jews being included in the definition of a racial group as well as a religious group. Although not criminal cases, further support for this proposition can be found in the cases of R v JFS [2009] UKSC 15 which related to the legality of the admission policy of a Jewish secondary school and Seide v Gillette Industries Ltd [1980] IRLR 427 in which an Employment Appeal Tribunal ruled that anti-semitic comments made by a fellow-worker were made because he was a member of the Jewish race, not because of his religion. "A religious group means a group of persons defined by reference to religious belief or lack of religious belief. This includes Muslims, Hindus and Christians, and different sects within a religion." It also includes people who do not hold any religious beliefs at all. |

nationality ? that doesn't make sense - oh well -
![]() i thought race was race and defined by facial features etc - not even colour really - as in the summer i and many other white men would be considered 'brown ' |

What country was that shot in because I can see a bus full of nationalities and not one white person?
I felt sorry for the bus driver, looked like he was cheesed off with the fracas. Wonder why the woman went into a racist rant?! |
