Just seen a female security guard asking a young guy to take down his hoodie while walking around with his girlfriend..
Some people would say fair enough as this could be seen as a security issue but my problem with this is muslim women are allowed walk around the same centre in full headgear with just their eyes showing....im not a racist and have no problem with people with different religious beliefs but found this a bit unsettling to be honest....thoughts??

Depp

you cant say that! thats racist!

me_irl

Hoodie up indoors = suspicious.
The hijab (the veil bit) = religious belief.

It's political correctness gone mad innit?!

Not even going to go after the obvious "I'm not a racist but..." line.

How often do women in hijabs shoplift in comparison to young fellas with their hoods up?

It's not about equality it's about the simple fact that dodgy people wander around shopping centres with their hoods up. Normal people tend to take their hoods down indoors.

Wait for it.

They'll be along in a minute, pointing out that it's actually sexist and the silence from third wave feminists is deafening.

Wait for it...

Incidentally, if you don't understand the difference between a hoody and a hijab, well it's...actually I can't be bothered explaining it...it's too obvious...

How often do young fellas with their hoods up blow themselves up in public places?

:pac:

I'm not racist...but..

Fair play OP, it's been a long time since I've seen that written out and it not been a piss take

Does kind of smack of profiling a bit, though it's possibly not unexpected that a security guard well single out someone who fits a orfile their experience says is trouble. Funny around Liffey valley though since a hoodie would kind of be the default uniform in that area

How can it be racist to dislike the niqab, you can't tell the colour of their skin when every inch is covered..

What has nobody done a bank robbery in a hijab? It makes so much sense, it would even hide your clothes. Just take it off and burn it during your getaway.

You don't even need a gun. You just shout "allahu akbar"

I find it saves time if you discriminate everyone first and worry about the why afterwards.


People, what a bunch of bastards

How many young fellas in hoodies blow up shopping centres?

Of course wearing the hoodie down transforms you into a non dodgy person

Well they used to. A friend of mine worked in London when all the Arabs were in town. He was a security guy for a major department store. He said that women were coming in, stuffing rails of clothes under their burkas & walking out. Security were under instruction not to touch them as some were close to the middle eastern ambassadors, apparently some were diplomats wives.

He said one famous store used to just add the cost to the customers account.

I had to move some young hoodies off my garden wall recently, and they grudgingly walked off saying "Is it because I is gangster?". That says it all really

Snake Plisken

As for the Muslim women going full burka there have been a couple of high profile robberies an example of one below

They should be fully outlawed in public places!
