Please can you comment on whether you think the following comment is racist ?

Question

"I think its also a question of wanting thier cake and e ating it. I mean in their home country they are tortured and beaten, have nothing to call thier own and are given nothing. I saw on TV last night they say justice is a luxury over thier, but here it is a right.

Sadly though when they do come to England, they get everything handed on a plate, and much wants more. Instead of appreciation and working together to help it good for everyone, they simply demand more and more and use the 'minority and racial' excuse as nothing more than blackmail to get thier own way.

And when I say 'they' I dont mean all!! I think it was best put by a reporter on TV that said its quite clear that the terrorists are more often than not found dressing in traditional dress, covered up faces for the women or men with the long fuzzy beard and evil stare!! ...... doesnt matter where you come from you can always pick out the evil ones just by their look.

The eyes are the window to the soul"

This quote is in reference to recent press coverage that 'Anti Terror Laws Alientate Muslims'

Answer 1

Yes it is Racist but some of the points are true, some people do come and want more and more, some do blackmail and some do use the race card too quickly.

On the other we can sometimes give them the crappy jobs, the crappy housing, and call them names...

Answer 2

I also think this is a very ill informed opinion from someone who is expressing their right to freedom of speech however when people from britian emigrate to australia or canada or france or spain what happens? they expect a warm welcome with a better way of life look at the spanish costas where a lot of british people have settled what culture can you find there? fryed food fish and chips irish pubs or flamango and paella? I am an irish scot and therefore part of this tradition just stand back and think when we say things about people coming to OUR country and taking every thing they can get and think how you would be if you emigrated to another country to better your life would you want a bit of help settling in and would you like to keep your own traditions? At the end of the day terrorists come from all over the world not just muslims its very easy to jump to conclusions but not so easy to justify bigotry

Answer 3

On the whole I think that is pretty much true. But then it is human nature to want more than we are given. When serving in the RAF I helped on a number of famine relief flights to Africa. The first couple we did the people were overcome with relief, you could see the tears in their eyes, we truly were saving their lives.

After those first few flights they simply expected us to feed them, fights broke out, people were murdered or beaten in front of us for their portion. We had simply become taken for granted instead of simply relief. These people,while we sent food, had no intention of helping themselves.

I don't blame people for coming here as we do hand it all out on a plate and its the native citizens that go without to pay for the immigrants. I say ship them back if they do not (or have no intention of) repay via taxes back into the system they are happy to take from.

After the RAF I served four years in special forces and I'm keeping my opinions about Muslim extremists to myself.

Answer 4

I would like to point out that the latest terror attacks where done as far as I know by British citizens.(thank god that it did not happen and the authorities foiled the attempt) I do not agree with any form of terrorism as i have lived under the threat of terro attacks for the last 30 years. I would say became informed and do research on why a certain group would call for such dramatic steps to be taken.

Answer 5

I do not think that this is racist It is a feeling of how some of the people act and does not sound as if your are judging the people just the actions of those who seem to be wanting more in the wrong way. I had never thought of terroriists against the USA coming out of the UK I guess that is naive of me. But hwy do they have the right to cry prejudice or minority or racial to gain more freedom to do more wrong. It does not seem fair or right but it continues to happen. We wiil all know the good from the bad by the fruits of their labor. Pray to God for only He can deliver pure and honest judgement.

Answer 6

I think anyone who comes here from another country and then want to behave as if they're still at home have got the whole idea wrong. If you come HERE you should do as WE do, not try to ALTER our way of life. The expression "When in Rome..." springs to mind and should be adhered to I feel, whether they like it or not. I don't see many English churches in any of the news reports from all these war-torn parts of the world, do I? - and that's because they wouldn't allow it. yet WE do over here don't we.....

Answer 7

I would not say completely racist but you have a very narrow eyed view of other peoples culture and religion
maybe you should make friends with some of our immigrants and those of different religions and cultures who live and work among us and learn more about them and their ways and beliefs and maybe you would become a better person with more understanding and compassion
would you consider a doctor ( with a long beard and of Asian origin) who was saving your life to look like one of the evil ones you mention just by his look? open your mind a little more

Answer 8

Hmm difficult one.
It would be better to tighten up our borders such as Australia or the US and vet the people coming into this country. If you are not allowed back you go, sorry but thats the way it will have to be for our saftey.
If you dont aggree with our laws and our way of life then dont come here.

Answer 9

I am going to put my neck very firmly on the chopping block here. ANYONE from ANY relieon who has the stupidity to even THINK never mind SAY that Islam or any other religeon is EVIL, has already started a war that will only end with our total destruction, thank you to ALL religeous muppets!. Do please get a bloody life and stop listening to the ravings of megolamaniacs and false "preachers" and mere little small willied men who THINK they are something big coz they are so insecure in them selfs that they NEED to have people bow down to them. Go and find out for yourselfs, dont listen to what others say or think, FIND OUT YOURSELFS, dont be a sheep all your life, getting it wrong at every turn! Well, god tells me to do this or that, jesus tells me to do this or that, whatever religeon tells me tells me tells me tells me, My preacher tells me to do, tells me, tells me, tells me..............Cannt you think for your selfs?

Answer 10

It's racist, misinformed and likely to cause alienation. Hat to repeat myself, but I think you'll find that the 7/7 bombers were mostly born in the UK and regular British passport holders. You cannot deport someone who is a British citizen.
