Re: Racism : UK today in communitiesThat's right, because the Asian community are well known for ignoring insults both real and perceived aren't they.(Original post by PTK)
In our area we have group of white men harassing, intimidating /stalking asian girls.. Have a group of white ambulance drivers following asian girls for fun using NHS vehicles. I just don't understand why they see as fun. On occassions they have been elderly patients in the vehicle and you really feel sorry for them. I am aware that this is a small group and that the majority of ambulance drivers are highly respectable and professional. These are roles that people look up to , life saving jobs .. so you can see how disappointing it is when you come across such conduct. All I am saying is that is sad and something needs to be done to improve situations for the better. in the community.
Wherever the girls are travelling to , they get other ambulance drivers in this area to initiate same behaviour. This network seems to spread to other people who work for fire & rescue , UK supermarkets, stores, shopping centres, national and local organisations in UK and this is the tip of the iceberg. In my opinion, there is nothing to be achieved in doing this. It would be much better building links and bridges and improving our understanding , so as to accept each others cultures and values. Wouldn't life be easier if we just learned to talk and listen and understand one another better.
The people in our community know this happening and am really surprised that the authorities have not stepped in to diffuse the situation and make it a safer place for all.
We live in multicultural Britain - is there really a need for such behaviour. Wouldn't it be easier for everyone - to live a peaceful life and just accept each others culture.
Does anyone know of anything similar that is happening to other Asian families in their area?
You are one of the following
1 Mentally ill with a bad case of paranoid delusions.
2 A white supremacist troll trying to wind up none Asians
3 An Asian troll trying to deflect from recent on street sex crimes
As I try not to feed trolls this is the last I will post on this. -

Re: Racism : UK today in communitiesIts takes alot of strength and courage to come forwardafter you have been bullied to extremes. The girls and their families will be worried that by coming forward things may get worse for them. It takes time but hopefully they are reading this with their families and gaining strength on how to deal with this. Legal advice is usually free for the first consultation.(Original post by OJ S)
Strange how no one else seems to have experienced this... hmmmm
OJS .. don't worry about them coming forward. They will do this in their own time. Meanwhile.. there is information out there to help them. .Last edited by PTK; 27-06-2012 at 17:39. -
Re: Racism : UK today in communitiesWestern Europe is one of the most tolerant places on the planet. You need to get your head checked.(Original post by umarrehman187)
why is it tht white people are the most racist race in the world? the **** they done in the past the **** they do now and the **** they will do in the future
I wonder what would happen if a black man married into a Pakistani family in Pakistan. In Britain, that would be accepted by the majority of people.
Maybe you should go on a trip to Russia and Japan, and that might give you some perspective.
Also, learn some damn grammar. -
Re: Racism : UK today in communitiesyh it looks tolerant from outside...but **** yh it has to be tolerant britain took over india for years then caused problems, so **** yh they hve to be tolerant becasue we were toleratn when they were in our country and when they robbed that diamond which is in the queens bloody crown!(Original post by Harrifer)

Re: Racism : UK today in communitiesThere is racism everywhere, in every country. I didn't mean to say the UK is some perfect place (because nowhere is), what I meant to say is that it's a place where people are trying to improve things. Our culture today is becoming more and more about tolerance and progress. I wonder what your experience would be living in(Original post by umarrehman187)

Also, hating the idea of other men dating/marrying/boning 'your' women is racism, not 'cultural values'. The reason that view is less prevalent in the UK is because of the tolerance I mentioned earlier. I was using Pakistan as one example, but your response shows the kind of victim mentality you have.
It's funny you think British people have 'no cultural values'. That isn't a lack of cultural values, it's tolerance. You really have nothing to gain by criticising the cultural liberalism of the west, because it's the same liberalism that combats racism.
Ths...luks....stupd.... -
Re: Racism : UK today in communitiesWe should be working towards acceptance not tolerance. This brings us all closer to community cohesion. Understanding and accepting each others cultural values.(Original post by Harrifer)

Re: Racism : UK today in communitiesWTF. Why would English people want to accept pakistani cultural values?(Original post by PTK)

Re: Racism : UK today in communities
From a sociological perspective, operationalising the concept of racism can be difficult.
Therefore, your interpretation may be different to those in the same community, whether this is subjected to prejudice or stereotyping.
I think the step forward would be to report 'claimed' incidents to your local authorities and wait for a response. You may describe them as 'institutional racists' but they do to do their job in an objective manner
Sorry, wanted to put sociology to context lol. -
Re: Racism : UK today in communitiesI meant are you now in legal trouble because of this thread upsetting "community cohesion" or something?(Original post by PTK)
Email TSR and they will help you understand what it means and if you have any further questions they can answer them.
You should have read the guidelines / terms and conditions of use but TSR can help you with this.
Also, alot of ambulance drivers are white mate. If you want NHS service to also cover your self segregated ghetto, I suggest you let them do their job. -
Re: Racism : UK today in communities(Original post by Bonged.)
WTF. Why would English people want to accept pakistani cultural values?
We should be accepting of everyones cultural values regardless of race, ethnicity or religion. Do you know how much Foreign Direct Investment has come into the UK , to support the growth of the UK economy from Asian countries. Without it the UK would be struggling - is this not a good enough reason to accept each others cultural values when we rely on these countries for income. -
Re: Racism : UK today in communitiesUntil I see the same happening in Asia, then no.(Original post by PTK)
