I certainly did not.

"You dumb racists **** - Think before you post" - the negative rep I just got for relaying what a policeman told me after one of my friends was mugged at knifepoint. Really appreciate that :rolleyes:

Andrew


Well, it wasn't me who gave you that if that's what you're implying. I haven't called anyone racist - I only asked if it was important that they were Asian.

If the rep bothers you you could probably report it to a mod and they would tell you who gave it and warn them or something. I think you can do that for personal insults etc..

I wasn't implying it was you mate, not at all just venting after I saw the rep :frown:

As someone pointed out my signature links to something you wouldn't expect it's meant to be light hearted!

I don't think Andy meant anything by referring to the muggers as Asians. The fact that they were was mentioned, but that doesn't mean that he was stating something deeper about stereotypes or anything. xx


This is the Andy that feels sick that Asians dared set foot in Number 10, yes?

lol i never read the full thread and all the comments, but light-hearted jokes about asians... sensitive issue, really.

A couple of my mates have been mugged by some Asians with knifes on more than one occassion. Just don't walk through Radford/Lenton/Nottingham on your own at night.


Done that a few times drunkenly and have never had a problem, most of the time there are plenty of other students around. I worked till 11 every monday and tuesday and never had a problem getting back home to lenton either.

I don't think it's muggings that are the issue, the risk comes mainly from burglaries and bike theft.

-can't wait for next year-

right, i see the link lord_ramroff, thanks for that.

i kinda dont like the direction this thread is heading. :frown: much ado about nothing.
the point is that muggings could have been done by any ethnicity, and just because andyuk's experience was wif the asians doesnt mean you gotta fear asians. it could be anybody next time.

so instead of fearing/blaming asians, practice caution.

i think this whole asian issue has been hyped up for no reason at all! :rolleyes:

No, remember my original title to that thread was "I feel sick..." then Jamie, a lovely mod decided to change that to "I feel sick... asians given tour of number 10" - as I explained a million times I wasn't pissed off because it was Asians I was annoyed that the beeb reported the new labour propaganda as if it was a genuine news article.

It would be appreciated it seems just about everyone has it in for me here. As you can see from above I've even had mods changing my thread titles to make them racist :frown:

This thread might soon get moved because of the political, ethnic and religious references, but I don’t think such propaganda - ones that actually nullify the effect of propaganda itself as it lacks subtly would have much impact on the public anyway. Unless you are saying we are all naive?

You're a liberal member does that mean *EVERY SINGLE POST* you make will be of a left wing form? No.

I might be a member of the BNP on these boards but that DOESN'T MEAN every single post I make will be of the far right persuasion. Use your brain for god sake, if you're such an expert on what I post you'll be well aware that I say what I mean. The thread that got twisted by Jamie had nothing to do with Asians, I said that about four times in the thread after everyone kept trying to pin it on me :rolleyes: if I was annoyed that it was Asians being showed around I would've just said so.

Where on earth did I say every post you made was right-wing? Get a brain :rolleyes:

Awww I don't think Andy was being racist - let's be nice to him :smile:

I think knowing there're generalised views of Asians out there as opposed to actually holding those generalised views is fine. Knowing those views are out there doesn't make you racist.
