the point of your question is?

I have never questioned your right to be here nor do I have any idea who you are or where you are originally from.

All I’m saying is that indigenous Brits have had to adapt over the last 50 years to ensure the sensibilities of immigrants from many different countries were not ridden over roughshod. It has been a long and difficult period of our development as a country, however we are now probably the most diverse place in the world and yet there are still those who who want to belittle old whitey for being stuck in the past racists.

I do not approve of racism despite what you probably think about me however I believe in respect between people sharing this soil we live on and I firmly believe respect is not a one way street. I’ll start showing more respect for all in this country when they stop stabbing and shooting each other. This never used to happen when I was a child.

So who don't you respect the actual people who are carrying out these violent acts, surely applies to all criminality.

So ultimately, you have learned to handle abuse just like many of us have.
Whether you get insulted for being Black, Asian, Mexican, fat, thin, tall, short, ugly, smelly, gay, Irish, stupid, poor ,rich or anything else someone can think of. In the end you have to laugh it off.
As soon as one get angry or upset and reacts, they have lost. They become the victim. They can even end up doing hard time for reacting with violence.

Nope hrolf, unless you are of an ethnic make up you cannot possibly be offended by abuse unless its racist abuse. Load of bollox. People are people and we all have feelings.

Haven’t seen the film for some time but have they recently changed the name? Sure that was the name in the original

Wait for the you dont know what slavery did line.

As far as I see It, It only becomes racist once someone is offended by it, regardless of The intent in which it was said. Sure, if it was intended to be racist, then it's more likely for it to be offensive to someone. but that does not mean that just because no racist intent was used that someone will not take offence, and deem it racist.

If someone else went to your barber shop and got offended by being asked to try another barbers, would it be racist then?

A black friend of mine asked to borrow my hair clippers recently. (barbers have all been shut) I always cut my own hair, just shave it off (skinhead as I'm bald). I told him my clippers aren't that strong as it's obvious his hair is miles tougher than mine. I still leant him them. They came back broken.
Am I racist, are the clippers racist, are the people that make the clippers racist? All I know is I need new clippers. Santa will provide.
