that’s disgusting behaviour. Honestly, I’m sick of this “racism isn’t an issue here compared to other places” who caresAnother example of obvious racism then, for context, I am mixed race, I consider myself to have light skin. My son, darker then me.
I went into work a while ago and naturally I am darker then in winter months due to how much I love to tan, and somebody walked in and said ‘fucking hell peaches colour of you, you’re almost as dark as your son’ and everybody laughed. It was embarrassing, rude and made me feel really really uncomfortable.
Had I reported it, or spoke up, I’d have been seen as dramatic, so you suck it up and roll your eyes. These are things that happen daily, but of course it’s not white peoples issues it’s apparently the issue of the black person?
It's a different issue in every country. E.g.: it's completely different type of racism in Central or Easter Europe countries but people there are not that used to have people of all races around, only recently there have been more people of different races in places like Poland for example. They're still such predominantly white countries. UK would seem to be way further ahead with not being racist but it's a different issue since it's a lot more multi cultural society. Plus there's the history to go with it. So I don't think UK can really be compared with that many other countries.that’s disgusting behaviour.

they stone gay people in some countries but that doesn’t mean homophobia isn’t a massive problem still
it’s just an excuse for them to continue or ignore this behaviour imo
“Fig roll anyoneThis is the only thread where people moan they are bored, you adhere to the title and then it’s handbags at dawn and a desire to return to the many conversational thrills of fig rolls and breastfeeding
Without stating the bleeding obvious, it's a very complex issue. I remember when BLM was at it's height and seeing the issues between Black West Indians, Black Americans and Black Africans. I was not aware there was such division.It's a different issue in every country.

I I moved to the uk when I was 16/17 and people said this all the time, I speak good English, but I took it as a compliment?“You speak good English” is one example because it implies that the person wasn’t born in this country (or indeed any English speaking country) or that you expect them to speak English badly because of the colour of their skin, their surname, where they were born.
He always reminds me of an Elf on the Shelf, but with a perverted twist.Everytime that George Ezra green green grass song plays I feel triggered because of that fucking Paul
It could also be because there are people who are white British that aren't fully educated and people are making a comparison. I know these people exist because of TattleYeah an Asian friend of mine has had it several times. She was born here so she speaks with an English accent, yet she's still had people compliment her on her English.
I agree. My husband bought Uno…..booooringThis thread is boring to read now. Even the chicken thing wasn’t that outrageous. Back to the vaccine thread I go for some drama.
The card game Uno is overrated too.

America has some massive issues with racism. The fact segration was still in place in my lifetime is horrific. I was watching a WW2 documentary recently and they were having to tell Black American soldiers that could go were they wanted in the UK, that there were rules determine what pubs they could go in etc etc.
I know this is a massive generalisation but the people who are racist are usually the same people who are homophobic, misogynistic twats who spend their whole lives angry at everything.
Hate to break it to you, but most people don’t equate high income as being the most important thing in life.People who have a problem with high income households are just bitter that they failed in life …
Yep.Hope the last few pages have been to your satisfaction ....
It depends on the circumstances I guess, but that was just one example. There are loads of things that could be seen as micro agression.I I moved to the uk when I was 16/17 and people said this all the time, I speak good English, but I took it as a compliment?
From Jamaica or Greece? I remember you said your ancestry was a mixture of those.I I moved to the uk when I was 16/17 and people said this all the time, I speak good English, but I took it as a compliment?

No, I wouldn't. That'd be a bit weird.dont tell him @Gidget00_ he’ll write it on his spreadsheet
