    This kinda thing is what makes that "working class heroes" reverse snobbery particularly odious.

    What kind of person would say "you're just racist" (travellers are white) to people for simply talking about the likes of the above.

    You don’t really believe that crap you quoted do you?

    Your childish insults do you no favours btw. Shame on you.

    Other passengers on the same flight have been quoted in the press and said pretty much the same as what was posted here so there is good reason to believe it.

    Fair enough so. I just find it hard to believe a “big fight” broke out on a flight and it wasn’t diverted to the nearest airport to have them checked off.

    I know an elderly man who told 'members of the travelling community' not to be littering by the river here. As a result he was beaten senseless.

    Sorry for my racist traveller bashing.

    Honestly, if you don't want to be viewed as a racist, replace the word traveler with scumbag.. I dont think you be called out for scumbagist,
    And scumbags come from all races and creeds..

    If they are travelers are people not allowed to mention that?

    Have we anyone in the country who could stand up and say such a thing without being flogged?

    Considering the pearl-clutching and general hysteria when Casey dared say he thought they should be treated the same as everyone else, I'd say we'll be waiting a while before someone calls them out that honestly.

    It’s funny isn’t it. Here criticism of travellers is racist even though they are clearly the same ethnic group as us. In NZ the actions of travellers is good for some paddy bashing. We literally can’t win.

    Kiwis don't tolerate sh1te from visitors to their country. They're very direct and to the point.

    Not a breed to be messed with. Much tougher than Aussies in my experience.

    Unlike your constant insults towards people who aren't born into the glorious working class.
    Why is the plane story so unbelievable? oh yeah cus it doesn't suit.

    Another in denial.

    There are disproprtionate levels of crime in the traveller community. It's not racist to acknowledge this in relation to fellow whites. Seriously, don't know how it's to you or anyone's benefit to deny reality or pretend words on the internet is worse.

    And we can't even deport terrorists.

    Marx, whatever you think of his manifesto, wouldn't care for them at all. As a simple read of this would indicate.

    You are assuming I’m working class? I’ve never said either way. Don’t let my handle here fool you.
    I’ve already stated why I think the plane story is unbelievable. If it turns out I’m wrong I’m big enough to hold my hands up. No denial here.

    Yes I agree there are disproportionate levels of crime in the Traveler community and it’s not racist to assume this. It’s a fair comment.
    But it goes far beyond that around here and Tbh I haven’t the energy to go into the detail of why I think that because it’s been done to death.

    Maybe I went a bit over the top calling people racist, but I genuinely believe there are distinct racist tendencies creeping into society and it’s very evident here.
    I’ve stated on boards before I have more a reason to bear a grudge against Travelers, but I’m determined not to let one (serious) incident cloud my judgement. Maybe I’m too soft, I don’t know.

    Anyway apologies again for the name calling, probably best if I don’t post here again.

    well no, they haven't been deported yet. They have been told they will be deported but they have 28 days to appeal so they could stay in the country for another 28 days if they wanted to.

    Haaaaaaa.


    Racism is duscrimination based on race. Colour is one of the most visible indicators of race. But accent is another widely used indicator.
    Accent is an indicator on nationality, not race. What you are talking about is xenophobia.
