Do you consider yourself a victim of racism?

[Ethel]

Nope.

I was spat at 40 odd years ago when I was taking a black neighbour's to school.

I have been called some atrocious names for having a relationship with a black man many moons ago.

That was all by white people though, when times were very different.

[scotgal]

No I don't . Years ago I had a very interesting conversation with a black guy who worked at Vauxhall car plant in Bedford and he said that the worst racism he'd encountered was black on black but I think the media do like to propound the myth that racism is rife.

[Sgt.Rock]

Yes, I can't apply for the Civil Service's "New Horizons" advancement training because it is open to ethnic minorities only. This from an organisation that constantly rams equal opportunities down our throats.

[Kromovaracun]

No. I've been called some things you really couldn't say at the dinner table, but not due to my race.

Almost one in three - 29 per cent - said they now expected to be treated worse than other races by key public services.

I guess the other 71% don't matter, then?

Also, a third would be about 33%. So, as usual, it's actually further from '1 in 3' than the reporter is making out.

In addition, the study reveals that most ethnic minorities living in Britain feel stronger ties to the nation than whites.

Doesn't this kind of contradict some of the Mail's previous coverage on ethnic-minority groups?

Yes I have been, I was engaged to a Chinese girl many years ago and her mother would'nt agree to it.
And that was the end of that.
Everyone's racist or prejudiced to some extent (Gypsies anyone?) all creeds and colours have derogatory names for each other, that's not to excuse it, it's just life.

[scotgal]

noknow - And your excuse when a white girl turns you down is...........?

[monkeyeyes]

She'll be a lesbian, I shouldn't wonder................:o)

[scotgal]

But of course monkeyeyes or blind, or both perhaps

[sp1814]

Anyone who feels they have been victimized because of their race should absolutely take action.

It's disgraceful that any section of the community in 2008 should be treated this way.

For God's sake...it would be rotten if whites in this country were to treated as badly as blacks, Muslims, Hindus or anyone else who have been refused housing, promotion, spat at and generally treated like second class citizens by a filthy minority of knuckle-scraping scum in this country.

Just because the barrel scrapings of a tiny minority of white people are wicked filth who should've been given the 'knitting needle treatment' doesn't mean anyone should turn around and give 'pay back'.

It's good that The Daily Mail have highlighted this.

[admarlow]

Yes, everytime I watch the BBC or C4 with all the disproportional representation, even the heads of the beeb agree with me...

[scotgal]

Hoo bloody ray for the Daily Mail!!!!!!!!!!!

[Miss-Ladybug]

Im going to disagree with most people here. Maybe thats cause im seeing this from a teens-view.

I feel many TV Shows and Music can be racist to white people. 'Racism' is always automatically thought of as hate to dark people, but it can be the other way round.

I am THE MOST NON-RACIST PERSON I KNOW but i think some things in life are wierd like...how its acceptable for there to be a Black Peoples Music Award and yet if there was a ceremony for only white people well...thats unthinkable! Worlds would end!

Im not saying there should be things for only white people AT ALL. Im just saying that things need to be balanced. Equal rights should mean just that - equal. And its not becoming equal, its going past that.

[Eve]

No, not at all, if I've come across any kind of "ism" it would be sexism.

[sp1814]

Miss-Ladybug

There's no such thing as The Black Peoples Music Award.

It does not exist.

[scotgal]

What a mature attitude Miss-Ladybug ansd I don't mean that in a patronising way-what you say makes sense to me.

[admarlow]

Sp - you know she means the MOBO's

[funnygirl]

I guess she means the MOBO's.

Music Of Black Origin.

[firetracie]

She means the MOBO's (Music of Black Origin).

And I have felt uncomfortable with that since their inception.
