No doubt it is partly a generational thing for many. My parents generation (born between 1910 and 1916 were openly racist and nationalist (mainly against Germans for obvious reasons) but they had never met anyone who was not white in rural Gloucestershire farming circles. My generation (I am 76) slowly changed most of our views (no non white pupils in my school that I can recall) but we were helped by things like going to University (I shared an office with a man from Nigeria when doing a postgraduate degree in America from 1966-68) and as cricket was played between ex pat teams that included Anzacs, Indian and West Indian students, I was soon very comfortable in their company until Luther King and Bobby Kennedy were shot and things got very tense for a while. My middle aged children are very non-racial compared to myself at the same age and grandchildren see nothing unusual about a mixture of racial types in school. We are all influenced by our early years whether we like it or not.

Back in the 80's, watching the Olympic athletics events with some ethnic friends, I confessed that I held a strong bias towards the 100m and 200m sprints, which I thought were superior races to the 1500m, 5000m and, especially, the 3000m steeplechase, which I could not tolerate. I have since grown to like all track events alike.

As a kid I used to love watching Glasgow Rangers on  tv but I couldn't warm to Celtic(nor the hibbees) there was something alien about them I could not put my finger on.  Must of mentioned it to my nan cos she said they were something called 'catholic'.   Same with Spurs all the other London clubs had a familar feel to them they seemed different.  Apparently they were 'jewish'.  Ah mysteries solved.  Not really racist or sectarian just a perceptive kid.

No problem, you won't be prosecuted for this historical race crime. You are excused on account of that great anti-racism campaigner Sir Lenworth Henry having been a performer in the stage show version of The Black and White Minstrels.

You are as a consequence free to leave the court without a stain on your character. We can't have the courts being clogged up with cases like this. Instead, they need to be kept open for contrived drivel like this. Possibly the most disturbing Pretendy Crime case ever heard in a UK courtroom.

THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Even Judge Jeffreys would have thrown this out.

I don't have much racism in me but I will admit to growing up referring to my fave takeaway (curried chicken & fried rice) as a ch*nky and I still occasionally use that to this day through force of habit.

Get me a drink
When: 07 Jun 20 09:37
Back in the 80's, I entered a shop in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham with my ex at the moment a black lady was being 'served' by a very brusque shop assistant. I saw the lady reach into her purse and pull out a credit card to pay for her purchase, all quite normal. But then the assistant, waving the card, loudly and rudely insisted that she had to phone the customer's credit card company to 'check' her card was valid (which it was).

I'm sure the assistant only took this action cos the customer was black, but I just stood there in shock and did nothing.

If the lady in question is reading this, I'm sorry I didn't stand up for you.

Whenever I talk to a certain type of Asian guy, in the back of my head I wonder if they're part of some kind of grooming gang. Even the ones I know quite well.
