Apparently blatant racism and offending half of the world is considered okay as long as it's interpreted as anti-PC "honesty".

Offending that half of the world is probably not going to have any significant effects

Whereas, offending China would have potentially serious repercussions

While the airline could have worded their recommendations in a more politically correct manner, they weren't strictly saying "avoid black and brown people," but the areas where a lot of them reside (due to the high crime rates, etc.). While rather blunt and insensitive, I admit, it serves as an understandable approximation for Chinese tourists unfamiliar with London's geography and neighbourhoods.

See post #270

Areas of London with large minority populations tend to have higher crime rates and are generally less tourist-friendly. The same can be said for a lot of Western cities.

why was my comment removed about most paedophiles and rapists being white but people saying blacks are more likely to cause crime is accepted on this thread and spread lol

Thus the Chinese should be worry at all parts of London, I love tsr

And as an Indian, I really wouldn't blame a publication if it said "Avoid this Indian area". And I say this with the utmost love for my country. But the fact is that the more established Indians in foreign countries acclimatize into the society. They live everywhere. The Indian areas have Indians from a specific part of India, who are your average immigrants living in developed countries. I wish I could say otherwise, but I've been in uni for 2 months. I've experienced more hostile (and mildly racist) behaviour from Indians here than I've actually experienced from the "white people".

why would I waste typing words to you when you're evidently unconditionally going to deny plain-faced racism?

Apparently white = British and black = non British

Ah yes, good old China where putting a Black man into a washing machine and having him come out a light-skinned Asian is an acceptable advert for detergent.

Everyone is absolutely aware in their heart of hearts that areas with more minorities are more crime ridden.

Why are people pretending to disagree?

Well, that is how the majority of world including the better part of Europe see this. We are avare that not all whites in UK are not british but instead tend to ignore and assume they are. By blacks that is not possible.

This summer I almost laughed and hardly control myself when some black dude from London introduced himself and said he was Englishman.

At least say it was an reply to the same italian commercial but with switched roles. A white Italian woman put a white guy in a washing machine and came out as a black. But that is not racist. Amirite?

This kind of attitude is just stupid. If someone is born and grows up in the UK, they are British. Britishness has nothing to do with race. Yes, someone with parents or grandparents from Jamaica or Pakistan or Bangladesh is going to know something about the culture of their ancestral country, but they go to a British school, have British friends, speak English as their mother tongue, and so experience exactly the same upbringing as British children do (bearing in mind even 'white' Britain is a very diverse cultural group, so this varies from very liberal to extremely conservative Christian) minus the parenting, and parents can only contribute so much to a child's cultural identity.

It varies, but some people of Pakistani origin for example in the UK know next to nothing about Pakistani culture, can't speak the language and have never been to Pakistan. The same is true of many Afro-Caribbean Brits: they wouldn't last ten minutes in Jamaica. So what else can you call them, if not British? A Jamaican would laugh in their face if they said they were Jamaican, but most Brits would have no hesitation identifying them as British. So what gives you, a foreigner, the right to tell British people our own culture? Britain is not comparable to some backward Eastern or Southern European country, it is more comparable to America. Would you laugh at Barack Obama calling himself an American?
