Why call me a white pig?

[tonywiltshire]

I suppose I look a typical White businessman. A few months ago I was going into a shop in London when I saw three young black men coming out and stood aside to let them pass and was rewarded by being told “that’s right white pig stand aside” when I said “thanks I like pigs” I was threatened with violence.
If I had addressed these young men as they addressed me would I be in trouble?

Trim, three against one, not good odds, considering the nature of some of these morons.

[paddywak]

Quite right em, what you could do thirty years ago would probably result in a gun or knife being produced today.

I think this is so sad. What is the world coming to?

[emmie]

Trim, are you suggesting that he should have taken them on, well i don't know about anyone else, that would seem a very foolhardy action. Three against three maybe, but seeing as how many of these young men seem to carry a weapon on some description, at least if you believe the papers, then surely that would be inviting catastrophe

Bullying scum, no respect no future waste of oxygen. Shame on us all for letting this become common place.

[naomi24]

It would be stupid to 'take them on'. They'd like you to try. Such people should be treated with the contempt they deserve.

[ummmm]

Most of these little gobshites couldn't fight their way out of paper bag.

I've had abuse from people of all colours in the past, and equally I've met polite, well mannered people of all colours. It's nothing to do with colour, some people are rude and have bad attitudes and some (most) people are good people regardless of race or colour.

[ummmm]

I agree Chuck. I've never had someone be randomly rude to me...

[david small]

Poor Tony. Yobs like these cause more racism, and hatred. They are too ignorant to know of the stupidness and immaturity of actions like this. Take no heed.
