The youngsters, whether Muslim, Jewish, Sikh or Christian, have two things in common. Like Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa Shetty, they have encountered racism in this country. But they are also all BRITISH.

Yeah, I don't get it...

Ya but...

I read what I an said...and I'm still puzzled.

It's that they all have names that they're called?

Yeah, exactly why I'm confused, too...

they're all british. It's part of a shock type story (with the words used in the picture) but there are lots of problems with racism amongst the youth of today. The problem is the parents (most people from perhaps 30-45) are a bunch of racists who have seen the country go from mainly white/christian with a few indian/black people to a wide range and they don't like it. I was banned from a forum where some of these people with kids etc were all being racist gits & it shocked me just how ignorant they were

Aah. That's probably why we didn't get it. Over here, most of the kids are very culturally accepting/understanding. I kind of would've expected the same from Britain.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh.

amongst my generation, it has happened lots, we're very open to the multi-culturalism, providing it's done fairly (not ending up being racist against whites) but there's a lot of problems, that generation & their subsequent offspring are very rude & ignorant of it. What it ends up doing is causing the "Minorities" to not integrate so much (Like canada for example) and then their is a fear of the unknown, causing paranoia. I Mean yeah, there's crime from pakistani youths in the town next to mine, there is problems with illegal immigrants, mainly kurds, iraqis, turks etc but these politically correct people are causing so much shit. Like many schools aren't allowed to celebrate xmas now, but are forced to learn about islam & hinduism & judaism in class. All in all it's making the country a bad place to be, although the one about chavscum isn't really racist imo, it's a sub-section of people, not all who are white, but who usually are rude, brash & uneducated

just to add to it, while I would have no problem inviting say clovis, bas, my friend jamey from nlta who's chinese, jonsun, phillez & others to a party, i'd probably be looked at weird for it

Christ.

Here, if you DON'T have friends who aren't white you're considered racist.

'Chav' is basically just whitetrash yeah? I've heard the term a bit, but never been given a clear idea of what it means, since it's pretty much a UK thing.
