well i'm vietnamese, born and bred in the UK. I have what most people would call a "white boy" accent.

I live in Greater London, a very diverse place. Near where i live, there is the biggest Indian/Pakistani area in London (greater west london, encompassing Hounslow/Southall/Uxbridge and so forth) As time goes by, and ignorant people realise that these people don't really do anything bad to them, they accept them.

Indian and Chinese food has overtaken Fish and Chips in Britain as take out food.

I haven't really experienced any racism towards myself. I find most racist jokes amusing (only in a joke context of course ) including ones towards oriental people, becuase, lets face it, some of them are actually quite funny. If you are confident about yourself, you can also laugh about yourself.

However, up in the North of England there had been tensions in towns like Oldham and Bradford where the indians and the caucasian english were fighting each other. I'm sure a northerner can tell you all about it

just want to say that yes there is racism all around the world .. and there are also different variations of racism, such as social structures, age differences, and class hierarchies ..

there are two different types of racism : racial stereotype and racial profiling .. the 'stereotype' i am ok with, because we can make fun of our own faults or differences with the rest of the world ..

however, i am not ok with the 'profiling' that has continually been excalating every year .. i don't like it when i see person A get a job over person B, because person A is the same race as the manager, and the manager dislikes person B's nationality.

i hope people here don't racial profile ...

yes i was joking. i dont know about other European countries, but here i seriously doubt you would have any bother just because you have a American accent.

the whole anit-french thing is well publicised in the media, but if a french person went over to america would they actually get hassle for being french?

why is it that the majority of soldiers who died in war were black?































because when everyone yelled, "GET DOWN!!!" all the black people jumped up and started dancing

depnends on where that french person goes.

in general though, the attitude towards the french here is more of a feeling of a superiority than it is a true hatred, ppl like to think french people (and canadians too sometimes) are wussies.

I havent had any trouble from people hearing my name, only reaction really has been from other french ppl who go "OMG are you french?"

I think maybe im like 1/128th french or something, we kinda broke off from the french when the first of us came in in like 1669 or some crazy way back year. I found stuff in my attic written about it.

it turns out that LaRue is the french word for avenue, maybe i descended from some street people hehe

I don’t think I would use the word “nasty” to describe that joke. It’s harmless and cute. That's not even a fact anyway (more blacks dying in war than whites). And as a matter of fact, that joke was told to me by a friend of mine who is Jamaican.

I mean seriously people, if you can’t laugh at your own stereotyped culture jokes, then you need to remove the stick out of your ass. Tell me any white trash or dumb blonde joke, and I will crack up with you.

i hear that more blacks are dying, because the government keeps sending the "gangbangers" and "ghettokillers" gang members out to Iraq... they have better "war" experience than the white people .. you always say to go more for experience if you want to get the job done ...
