Asian Rudeboys
For want of a better term.
Few people who live in metropolitan cities could deny that the number of people out in clubs generally with bad attitudes is rising, but that it seems to be rising at a disproportionate levels with Asian people, specifically south-Asian. Having been spread across the country since the end of sixth form and start of university, a number of my friends from large cities or towns have mentioned how great the number is.
The question I am posing here, is why do people think this is the case? Indeed, IS this the case or are we all unfortunate enough to have had numerous bad experiences out of the ordinary by coincidence?

No, if you're talking about who I think you are, then yes, they are increasing in Glasgow as well...along with the massive amount who believe they are African-American "gangstas"/ rap "gods".

They seem to be several in my college as well. I go to a college in a fairly middle-class area, and this lot normally come from Birmingham.
Although they haven't offended me directly or something, I do sometimes find their attitude and actions quite nauseating.

I find its becoming more and more common, though I can't understand why.
Where I work (I work on a menswear department), its commonplace now for atleast a handful of guys to come in to flirt with the girls there, and they all have the same "badboy" attitude.
Maybe that the "in" thing... or its just a growing form of rebelling.

"rude boi" is a common term that I constantly keep hearing. I really detest the whole image. Its the new chav.
the new chav? what are you talking about?
I've been familiar with the word/idea of rudeboy for about 6-8 years, the word chav didn't even exist till a couple of years ago.

They're still vastly outnumbered by the native hooligan element, I find.

I don't see how they're different from blacks or whites who are of the rudeboy-breed.

Exactly. Good and bad come in all different forms.

They aren't, there just seems to be more of them, proportionately.

Of course, what with their council estate upbringings and reputation for growing up in broken homes, the usual things that breed typical 'bad boy' attitudes.

Quite a few friends of mine are Asian rudeboys; they're no different then the black or white rudeboys except for the fact they watch bollywood instead of Hollywood, and listen to contemporary bhangra/garage, instead of conventional rap/garage.

Their use of the word 'bruv' frustrates me so much! Being originally Asian, I feel ashamed sometimes when I see these guys.

You being ashamed of Asians makes me ashamed. Yea, Asians are somewhat more 'gagsterfied' than their other racial counterparts, and so what? If someone says bruv, so what? Does it actually hurt you?
You need to realise people are different, and more importantly, people grow to become whatever they need to in order to compete in the environment they are in. These guys you are talking about absolutely 'rip' posh people and the sort, but it doesn't frustrate them. Some times people just need to relax, and accept not everyone is the same....

The difference is, 'posh' people don't bottle you because you looked at them in a club or accidentally touched their girl/friend/sister while trying to walk past them.
Also, one of the issues for me is the reason behind the culture. What is it? This type of behaviour typically extends from a poor upbringing, with little money and lack of positive male role models. This is why it is exemplified on council estates, as well as in other countries, such as in the rougher areas of New York (the Bronx etc) and... well, I don't need to go on. Lax parenting, dissatisfaction at lack of material possesion and the idea that there;s no escape from the situation often leads kids to crime, for which they get respect etc etc. I'm sure you know all this.
Which is why it's odd that Asian people are now picking this up, where as traditionally it was in the domain of poorer people. That's not to say there are no poor Asian people - of course there are, like anyone. But typically, demographically, Asian people - given the majority of the people we're talking about here are 2nd or even 3rd generation immigrants - have a stable family upbringing, they are encouraged to work hard at school, they have hard working parents with good work ethics and who usually have good jobs as a result. You rarely find an Indian builder, but there's a lot of Indian doctors.
This may all sound like a generalisation, and it is. But it's also largely true. So why are Asians, who until 5 years ago behaved like any other middle class person would - because that's what they are - albeit perhaps more reserved?
It's not about being different, as you say. It's about fitting in, trying to look cool.
