Racism in Manchester

Being the only Muslim and asian person in the flat its getting worse by the day. All of my flatmates are white atheist and mainly middle classed. They will make insulting remarks about other cultures when they've been on a night out or had a drink. Not all are intentionally racist but some are. They all know better as they're all highly educated individuals. But in truth they don't give a dam, as they know they'll get away with it as majority opinion rules. What's worse is those who aren't will not speak up against such racists and bigots. I believe its because they're cowards. I hate it when they come to me individually to try to apologise.

The accommodation office should but people of same faith with atleast one other person of the same faith. Specially if your Muslim. Not being able to eat the same food as rest of the household is bad, you can cut the tension with knife at dinner times. Eating after everyone else is eaten is sad! I was told by the accommodation office that they don't but people of the same course together because they want people to mix with other people. That's aload of bull s**t, most of my flatmates are on the same course - history & politics.

Ethnic minorities should be placed with atleast one other ethnic minority, so that no one is singled out for racial abuse by racists and bigots!!!

I met a guy from the south on Saturday and he was really rude and offensive towards me because I was welsh. Started off as a joke but got nastier as he got drunk. Then someone pointed out that was a form of racism.

oh yea ive experienced a really weird taxi guy who didnt know any english and since he looked (asain2asian...lol) he started to talk to me in his language which i dont know (i speak smethin else)

It's obvious you speak that dirty language called "txt spk"

Didn't the person from the south know that they themselves are from a substandard race - they have a lot of french blood in them.

The Welsh are without a doubt superior to every other race in the world.

Err I am not sure where they got that from at all. Manchester is a multi culterial city, many people of all sorts of races happily live on the same streets without any trouble at all.

You're Indian so what? Nobody will give a toss, its only an issue if you make it into one.

The only place thats really had any trouble is Oldham and thats not in Manchester as such.

lol..... sorry but reading the comments some people have written are like... are you from manchester or from some other world...

its my first year.. im an asain(muslim)... i havent had the stick from any1!! i never do...
my flate mates are white, best bunch of peeps.... i dont drink, i dont smoke nor drugs.... but during the month of fasting me 1 of the guys and the 2 girls ate together..... as well as my friends we just had a feast!!! a big 1..lol
im soo lucky to have flate mates this good. The eat pork, i dont.....
they know that thev got responsibilities becasue in the end there are 4 people living in this flat and we all have to do our bit.....

only once the guy got really drunk an i had to help him cuz he couldnt walk... his g/f called me for help and i was there...
none of us are doing the same course....
i think its best to have different people around you because you then get to know how other people are.... if you want jsut muslims friends in your flat... you can but my advice is that get to know other people.....its more better cuz then youll be in your bubble....

racism??? ive heard that some taxi people are dodgy... duno if its true though... oh yea ive experienced a really weird taxi guy who didnt know any english and since he looked (asain2asian...lol) he started to talk to me in his language which i dont know (i speak smethin else)...... he kept on talkin to me and i just nodded ma head....

in the end he just never charged me!!!!

lol....
