Most racist thing you seen

pragmatic1

Was down at my local pub a few days ago and one of my mates told me about a racial incident that took place the night before. We have a temp priest from Nigeria and some of the local idiots started calling him a black bastard. I know racism is found in every country, but it shocked me because we've had different races living here before and I've never heard of anything like this. Have any of you seen crap like this and if you have, did you do anything about it.

Can you clarify which pub it was and what time it happened? Incidents like that are illegal and it should be very easy to verify whether or not they actually occurred. Send me a PM if you don't feel like mentioning it publicly.

Gendarmes on the Paris metro. Came aboard with their big macho swagger, strolled the length of the carriage and started hassling the one black fella in the carriage. Chap was sitting quietly listening to his ipod. Only thing he did wrong was be the wrong colour. Pissed me off something brutal.

One time a load of Chinese people moved to where I lived and thought I was racist because there was a piece of square dirt on my window and as I was waving it at them from inside it looked like I had a Hitler moustache. We all went on the piss afterwards so it was all good in the end.

I was talking to a Mayo man and he was regaling me about his sex life, trying to impress me with the unusual (in his opinion) women he had slept with. He told me he shagged a disabled woman and the he said,
"I even covered a Filipino woman". Like a horse :mad:

Most racist thing I have seen is shop assistants being called racist by Africans because of some very small issue which could happen to anyone. My father also had some woman screaming he was a racist when he needed documents of hers to open an account which is normal procedure for everyone.

It is pretty horrible to see a person accused of such behavior for simply doing their jobs and which I have never seen to be anything to do with race. It causes huge embarrassment and can cause potential work/customer problems/perceptions.

I hate those guys. They once told me to leave the Arc De Triumph just because I was sitting under it drinking a beer. They wouldn't be so tough if I had been carrying a gun at the time. :mad:

These were proper diamond jumper wearing shnackos. doubt they do much of anything unless it gets them out of it.

A drunk sh1thead at a bus stop making monkey noises and leaping around to imitate an ape because there were two black women waiting at the same stop. The guy then proceeded to get on the bus and tell everyone he was going to have them shot by the IRA, and subsequently got arrested.

Yes that is also bull**** of the highest order. I know the race card can be abused and whitey isnt the only racist. However, this man was on his own, in an isolated village, probably lonely for some company. If I was in his position, I'd be feeling pretty low after this.

Ironic. I'll say one thing for the ra, they're a fairly inclusive bunch.

Most racist thing ive seen lately was a black woman calling a white bus driver a racist because he asked he to give move and make room for a woman with a baby

Eh, got to ask, look at what is says racism is:
"Racism is a specific form of discrimination and exclusion faced by cultural and ethnic minorities"

and the definition of racism by this site:
"Any incident which is perceived to be racist by the victim or any other person"

Are these definitions not extremely limited and racist by ignoring cultural and ethnic majorities? Can a black person not be racist to a white person in Ireland, can a white person not be racist to a black person in Africa? The subjects of abuse are both in majorities in these examples, how does that not count as racism?

Also, if a couple of friends are slagging each other with not a hint of racism, why can someone else who has no knowledge of the context of the event be allowed to report it as racism?

Both issues seem bizarre, racist and willingly blinkered.

When will these idiots learn? The correct term is "Black pedeophile bastard". What are the schools doing these days?

Jesus, some of the claptrap here that is spouted as racism. Think people need to get out a bit more. Go to another country or something and experience life as an ethnic minority, or witness it with one. (no, Parnell st doesn't cut it)

I would describe it as discrimination based on someone cultural or ethnic background. Although in reality, 99% of racism is directed at ethnic minorities.

I hear racist comments with depressing regularity where I live. One that really irritates the hell out of me is the fact that my incredibly racist brothers-in-law have named their black dog "Nigs", which they find hilarious.

Wonder where the 3yo picked that word up?

Notices on bars here in Korea saying "No Foreigners".

In fairness to Koreans the reasoning behind it isn't necessarily racist. They don't want foreigners in the bars because A) most don't speak Korean, most don't understand the culture and end up pissing off the Korean customers by trying to talk to the women (Talking to strangers = cultural no no) or C) the bar is a hostess bar where certain unspoken rules apply and the foreigners don't know them or respect them.

So it's racist for non-race reasons. :pac:

Oh and also job advertisements which explicitly state what kind of race/colour/nationality they want or do not want.

was he saying it like 'wassup ma nigga' or was he using a hard r at the end there?

if the former, probably music. white people can't go there though. not in general anyway, those that grew up in the hood can.

RichieC

anything that starts with "I'm not racist but.."

you're about to hear something that will go in here well.

"I'm not racist but, the government gives the blacks a car and buy them a taxi licence plate and they get twice as much dole ect ect ect"

Get introduced by friends / co-workers / classmates / relatives. It's changing very slowly but basically you don't go out to bars / clubs to meet people. You make a connection beforehand somehow and then go out togeather.
