do you think that English people are racist against foreigners living here?

Question

Racism is present in every country every day deep inside we might have a thought of racism against somebody who is different somehow from us...Do you think this situation is more present here than every other EU country and why?

Answer 1

Well I'm certainly not racist in any way, God put us all on this earth and we are all have flesh and bones and we all bleed the same, it's only the colour of our skin that makes us different !!

Answer 2

I’m in the US and we are going through the same thing. We have a huge illegal immigration problem here. However whenever someone speaks up against it, they are quickly labeled a racist. The economy here is crippling but many people/companies who enjoy the wealth of the working illegals are more than willing to spin the disbelief that the illegals help the economy.

I guess when everyone is on the dole/welfare maybe then the people in government will finally do something about it.

Answer 3

I think most people descriminate against other races. Especially foreigners. They feel that they are a treat to their customs. Racism has always been both an instrument of discrimination and a tool of exploitation. But it manifests itself as a cultural phenomenon, susceptible to cultural solutions, such as multicultural education and the promotion of ethnic identities.

Tackling the problem of cultural inequality, however, does not by itself redress the problem of economic inequality. Racism is conditioned by economic imperatives, but negotiated through culture: religion, literature, art, science and the media.

We live in a time where you might say racism is over that it is a thing from the past but the sad truth is that its here Lately there has been much talk of Internet sites hosting hate material. Some groups such as HateWatch have gone as far as buying racist domain names so that real racists cannot buy these domains themselves this is a big critical issue that has not been resolved and I dont think is changing. That is sad.

Answer 4

We are known as being racist, but as an 18 year old white, english born and bred for many hundreds of years female, i experience racism every single day, aimed at myself, thats what i hate, and if i even considered saying "n****a" or "p**i" i would immediately be scorned for it, whereas nothing is done, and this whole trying to change us, I want christmas lights, not festival lights, i'm english, not religious in the slightest, but i come from a christian country, and i think people should respect that we are a christian country, and leave us alone, iw ouldn't go anywhere else in the world and try and change their rights and norms, but it seems completely fine to do it here, to have translations in everything to have "black history month" where we are repeatedly told how bad we are for teaching english history.... why is that a problem? I'm pretty sure if i moved to africa tomorrow, i would learn african history.

I'm not racist, just sick of being told by people how horribly mistreated and persecuted they are when i go to a college where it's completely fine to have unions and clubs for black people only or for asian people only, but im pretty sure if i even considered setting one up for whites only i'd be the target of abuse.

Stop persecuting people in their own country!

Answer 5

A lot of people are, and a lot of people aren't.

Most people just seem bitter about foreigners taking jobs, and that's making them say racist things. There is also the housing issue, with housing being given priority for immigrants over citizens. It just rubs people up the wrong way.

It's not the fault of the people coming here though. They are just seizing opportunities - same way English people did back when they all took their ships and moved to Aussie, NZ, USA, India, and Canada and made many many aboriginal people mad!

Answer 6

I don't know about the EU but anti racism the way we know it is not prevalent in a lot of other countrys at all. The Chinees for example would rather stand than sit next to a white man on a bus but they haven't discovered political correctness yet.

Answer 7

NO, I think the foreigners are a lot more rascist.

for example : I was told by an Asian colleague at work that he hates 'Pakis' & 'Hindus' and that they should all f*ck off home.

I was completely shocked by this statement, so its not just if you are white, I think everyone deep down has a rascist issue to some degree.

I also think this is a worldwide problem that will probably never go away until we all end up killing ourselves, and the Human Race becomes extinct.

Answer 8

We are not Racist, but we are very annoyed that the Government have let so many immigrants into the country who are only sponging from the UK, which is already deep in debt. We can only just about to live here.

Answer 9

solid question ! properly, i could ought to declare specific to three extent, because of the fact all and sundry is afraid of exchange ! adjustments are being compelled on all and sundry at an alarming velocity and no-one is given the prospect to evolve to those adjustments in the previous all of it starts returned. besides the undeniable fact that, i would not say that the English all and sundry is the main racist, seem at Germany, or France ! In the two certainly one of those international locations there seems to be fairly an open dislike in direction of immigrants while in England it fairly is extremely properly hidden ! all and sundry is horrified whilst it includes the quantity of immigrants coming over from jap Europe, and that i for my area blame the media for many of it ! So, no, it is not purely racism my expensive, it is likewise solid previous formed worry of exchange . wish that facilitates .

Answer 10

We are very tolerant, one of the worlds most tolerant. Some immigrants do take the P**s however and as a small nation
with not a lot to spare of anything we quite rightly find that annoying. I commend those that try to make something of themselves here and condemn those that just ride the system.
