It doesn't prohibit hiring on skills, knowledge and fitting into a 'team'.

Sound like you're a little bitter & jealous of their achievements.

On the contrary. I would celebrate anyone doing well for themselves, providing it’s by legal means, and if that includes helping others to a better life then all the better.

Then you should have no issues with the many thousands of Asians who came to the UK, opened and ran successful businesses all over the UK involving many of their families and extended relations. They have become the backbone of SME's in the UK, a key part of the economy.

That would just be a stereotype.

I don’t. My interest is in seeing working class and underprivileged people doing well whatever their racial background.

Many years ago as a trainee sales guy I was in an ASDA in Stoke ( or maybe Crewe) it was a long time ago - I was with another junior colleague ( I am white & my colleague happened to be Black) we were together pitching a product to the store buyer, I said my bit, my mate said his bit, the store manager still wasnt convinced, my mate then spoke up and said -
He has pitched, I have pitched , you have 100% heard what we are saying here today in black & white - this buyer stopped for a second , then cracked up & ordered 50 cases whilst still laughing.

Sure but the subject matter here is the Asian community as closely related to the original news item that spawned this discussion.

Perhaps Parliament might open an inquiry into the lack of diversity in Indian restaurants. After all I eat in plenty of European style ones, French, Italian etc. and more often than not am served by someone who is not from that culture.Yet for some reason Curry houses are mono culture

The question was who knows what causes offence and to what degree.

No. Don’t deflect. The first part of the post

You’re clearly trying to equate Pommie / Pom with the multiple racist terms that Rafiq was called, ergo passing it all off under one umbrella of bantz innit.

Just a bit of banta huh huh huh. Everywon larvae’s banta dahnt they. It’s ahhnly baaanta mate. Yeeeeah, BANTAAAA

(Larvae was a pretty good autocorrect)

Perhaps not as explicitly as another on here but that’s how it’s coming across. I really don’t understand how hard it is to make the distinction between the two - the apparent view is that it’s only racist when someone takes offence at it. If it’s not taken as offensive then it’s fine. So, that’s not really how it works now is it? Again, not really much there that’s that hard to grasp.

 


Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

Not all of them, but it was the 60s/70s when people weren't encouraged to be snowflakes.

Yet again, you're mixing 'banta' stereotypes and nationality based jokes (fine) in with racist terms (not fine) and saying they're all fair game and effectively the same level. Really?

Muddled.

You just don't understand what I'm saying. I can't be bothered to repeat myself again.

Well in a closed environment like school in that era, no one would protect you, not teachers or parents, because they came from a different era when name calling was not considered a big deal.

It had to be endured, and I suppose in the end it makes you stronger.
The problem now is that racial insults are now treated differently from others, despite the absurdity of that distinction, and the rule only applies to Whites. Apparently, you can call White people what you like.
