It seems they have developed this stereotype of white people and a lot of them can not make it 5-10 minutes without race coming up in their routine. Is this right? If discrimination is so bad, why are they glorifying it on stage for a laugh?

Okay I know we all call them "Chavs", Pikeys", Neds" etc but the reality is that these are "young, white,lower class people of limited intelligence". That is ALL they are, and as such, they have been around for a very long time.

But I have got a theory that we ( the British) have disappeared so far up our own arseholes with all this political correctness, that now the "Chavs" are the only group left that we are able to criticise, revile and ridicule. In effect, we are laughing at ourselves.

Like I said, the Chavs have been around for a LONG time. And when the British start to re-assert themselves it's likely that most of the support will come from this group, who in the main tend to be very patriotic.


Any thoughts on this?

The "English" are not the original inhabitants of what is now called England. Before being driven into Scotland, Ireland, Wales and Brittany, the land was inhabited by Celts, Welsh, Picts, Druids and others.

First came the Romans who settled there for a few hundred years. Then came the Angles, Vikings, Jutes, Saxons and Danes who came to England in the Dark Ages from what is now Norway, Denmark, northern Germany and Holland.

Then in 1066 came the Normans who were Frenchmen with some Scandinavian blood. They mixed with the locals creating the people we now know as the English.

So basically, the English are a German/French mixture with some Viking and Roman thrown in for good measure.

Is England the first immigrant nation? Or maybe the same could be said about other European nations?

I believed that spaghetti grew in fields, my Dad told me tales of the beautiful sounds of spaghetti swaying in the breeze, I believed that Kiwi shoe polish was made from Kiwis, boys had boy babies and girls had girl babies and that you got pregnant by kissing, what did you believe?

All living things should be able to live life freely wether it be the smallest thing like and ant, the largest, like a whale, a plant that grows in your house or garden, the rain forests ( the list goes on) or even down to the simplest thing like you or me. so why do some people actually think that they can own it?

I'm talking about those who claim not to be racist, but it is plain from their questions and answers that they have racial predjudices. I'm so sick of white people on here posting questions complaining that THEY are the victims of racism, when they live in a country mainly populated by whites. Unless you go to an all black school where you are the only white, I don't see how you could be a victim of racist bullying.

How do i cope with being only asian adult female in university class of males aged 18-19?
Its realy hard because they blank me and i am tried of trying to make conversation when i get just one word responses. I am a christain and i know i am not a bad person and i don't need to hate any of them they just behave like sheep. I am outcasted like class loser. I have a sense of humour and I want to be able to stay strong and be brave. I have worked with men in the work place and they behave normal. These boys all act like i have a diease they will catch sitting on the otherside of the classroom. I feel angry all the time and want to shout some home truths about them being sheep and not individuals. I am at least 10 years older then them. I find myself so frustrated with situation and end up crying when i get home. Always putting on a brave face. It not good to be female or show feelings in the class. Its hard to get up and do presentations on because they talk more about you then they do to you. I have another 3 years to go as I just started this.I do I stay strong and brave.

Why does every ethnicity have a "History Month" and if you say anything about celebrating being"white" we are called racist,white trash,KKK, etc...? Just why is there not a month to celebrate "Western White" culture? And no not white power etc..?

Someone else came behind it and called the guy a guinnea (sp)... which I know is derogatory...I don't know.. the way the guy said it.. sounded like it was supposed to be offensive. But why? What does that mean?...
