What colour are their hoods?

If you're in America, yes, here you're probably just being thick. The crackers would be more likely to bate ya, quality native Irish scumbags in all probability

I'd take my chances with the road

I'd walk in the middle of the road & take my chances with the cars.

i'd probably walk down the middle of the road :pac:

But no, i don't think it's being racist.

A group of black hooded teens would be unusual around Dublin IMO. Most of us tend to go with what we feel is comfortable and normal. A group of white hoodies would probably be more "normal".

I'd probably try to avoid both though depending on my humour.

According to experience I'd walk on the black side

I've seen more white people in fights than I have black people, in fact I don't think Ive ever seen a black person in a fight before.. or a building site

A group of black hooded teens on one side and a group of teens wearing caps and celtic jerseys on the other?

To be fair that's hardly surprising considering you live in a predominantly white country.

WTF have hoods got to do with it....it's easier to tell a scumbag with their hood down.

I have never mugged anyone or have any intentions, rarely am I in fights and not since I was a kid have I started one....and guess what I go around with my hood up....and here's the real shocker, I do it because most of the time its cold or f*cking raining.

But hey, stereotyping makes it easier to sleep at night.

Id walk by whatever side im on and say hello to them.... BOTTLER

Personally, I find the white hoodies worse. They are more likely to be on drugs, violent etc... I've yet to see a group of black hoodies here, it'll be another 10 to 20 years before we see such a growth in their population to be reflected in them assembling into groups of hoodies.

But the difference between a scumbag and a normal person is that scumbags wear their hoods up all the time. Fair enough if it's raining. But all the time? There's just no need

I wear a hoodie on days like today.

It was warm so no need for a jacket but it was raining so hood up.
Hope that doesn't mean I'm a scumbag

TanG411

not if it was raining :pac:

I wear a hoodie nearly everyday. But I only use the hood if it actually rains/ snows.

In any country other than Ireland I'd walk on the white side. Here I'd walk on the black side

I think AH is getting more efficient, instead of getting our daily pointless hypothetical question thread and our daily racism thread, we are now combining them.

That might be because blacks fight in the dark

And, if only the op had just called them "scumbags" we would have got 3 for the price 1.

Most of Ireland's blacks are immigrants. Immigrants tend to want to work. Up until a few years ago you could assume the black guy was a doctor.

So here, walk on the black side.

Hazys

One thing to be consider in this "argument" is "once you go black, you never go back"...oh now i get it

sells

get youre asses over the the "get in a car with a male and u will die" thread, now theres some form of discrimination.

Depends on the country, city, area etc.

According to The Citizen's Advice Bureau you should first take out a few whiteys with your custom machete. This will attract the attention of the other group who will run to the aid of their fallen comrades. While they are in mid-stride you should drop two flash grenades from your utility belt to confuse them before finishing off the job with your chainsaw-shotgun.

At this point you should flee the scene quite quickly after leaving your usual Calling Card

:pac:< Who was that bespectacled stud?

defo go with the blacks mate heeheheheheh

markopantelic

where are you london/paris? if you're in dublin you'd be making the wrong choice imo.

i live in the city centre and there'd be a few groups of black teens but there hardly prevailent and they don't act like scumbags.
