    Why should you take it and put up with being treated like that in your own Country?

    I went to a walk in Doctors in the UK with Chest Pains. I was told as I was the first one there I would be the first one to be seen.

    Then it started filling up with every Nationality on the Planet. They saw them before a White person even though I was there first. The Doctors were out meeting and greeting them. When they got round to me, they just said what was I doing there and why did I not see my own Doctor.

    When I pointed out to her that I was probably the only one to pay National Insurance (hence paying her wages) and that I could not get in to see my own Doctor because the rights of non Nationals were greater than mine.
    I also reminded her that it still was England and not quiet Third World yet!



    Sweeney, are you Irish?

    Glad you admit this was anti-white racism committed by Asians.

    Not anti-white racism, that's your own particular agenda right there. Anti-non asian, I would presume.

    Next step - how do we stamp it out? Can we fine or jail them like we do to white owned businesses found guilty of racist practices?

    Yup, you pretty much answered your own question right there. The OP would have to make an official complaint.

    No one has admitted any such thing. What it was is something that can, ultimately, only be decided, on the evidence, by a court of law. You have heard of due process, haven't you?:rolleyes:

    Can you give us an example of a "white owned" business that has been jailed after being found guilty of racist practice. Or even of people who have been jailed for his reason?:rolleyes::rolleyes:

    If a person (legal or physical) is charged in a court of law with having breached our equality legislation, the verdict will depend on the evidence presented and the skin colour, ethnic origin or cultural background of the defendant will not make a difference. :)

    You will never smash the unions, either. At least not as long as democracy exists. Or maybe you'd like to smash that, too?:D

    She said there is no eating allowed in the private rooms, they are just for karaoke. Now ad I had been there before with other friends we were able to eat in the room. When I told her we had eaten there before, she asked me was I with an Asian person which I said I was and she replied that this was the reason as there is different rules(and menu) for Asian people so there was no chance we were allowed eat in the room unless she said we bring an Asian person the next time we go..

    Make a complaint.

    I was there first and the rules were first one in first one to be seen. I did not expect better treatment because I am white, I expected to be treated because I got there first.
    And you know for a fact that all of these people had paid no contributions, do you? Tell me, did you ask them for their p60s one-by-one as they came in or did you stand up when they were all the waiting room in and make your request?

    Duh... cause they weren't white. :rolleyes:

    Don't you know it's only white people what do be good honest tax paying folk?


    Hey sweeney1971 - could it be that everyone else had one of those things.... what are they called again? Oh yeah.... appointments.

    Because he's saying that he was discriminated against because he was white.

    We haven't named the restaurant.

    Lets assume the OP wasn't making things up for shlts and giggle?. Would we not discuss the original post on its merits. If a woman were to say she was banned from a golf club would you be so legalistic? Would you refuse to debate the post until due process were served?


    Is this acceptable behaviour, or not. If not - why is there such a song and dance, so much posting of internet memes, so much legalistic nonsense, so much difficulty in getting people to say - well thats wrong, as it would be the other way around.

    It was starting out like that, and admittedly Smash is trolling, but it does seem....odd that there is any debate.

    Yep this confuses me also. It should be interesting to find out what way he went about it. As for the op, a serious complaint should be made.

    They can make those exceptions, but if some place decided to have a sign that says "No Smoking In Restaurant - Except For Arabs", every other culture and race would have every right to piss and moan, as in this case.
    Golf clubs that don't allow women? Bullshit.
    Women's days at gyms? Bullshit.

    Make the rules, expect the fallout.

    That's not the case. Let's not be hysterical about it!

    Has the OP named the establishment in question? Has he contacted management to inquire about what happened?

    People are just making assumptions about the whole thing based on the OP's experience. It's no better than arriving at a conclusion based on that other fellas experience at his doctor's office.

    When do we ever assume that the OP is lying? And do you think that nothing like this happened and she decided to troll AH, with a minor story of little significance? As to what else she may have done, or not done, not very relevant.

    Theres a lot of dancing around the issue.

    Last weekend I went out to a karaoke restaurant in Dublin. We booked a private room. We were aware that there is a 50e an hour charge for the use of the room which we had no issues with. When we arrived we were shown to a table in the main restaurant. I called the waitress over and explained that we had booked the private room and wanted to eat in there.

    She said there is no eating allowed in the private rooms, they are just for karaoke. Now ad I had been there before with other friends we were able to eat in the room. When I told her we had eaten there before, she asked me was I with an Asian person which I said I was and she replied that this was the reason as there is different rules(and menu) for Asian people so there was no chance we were allowed eat in the room unless she said we bring an Asian person the next time we go.

    We decided then to just leave and go somewhere else. There wad mixed opinions in the group, mine was their restaurant their rules but a few other's were pretty out raged that we were treated like that.

    Should we of made a fuss?

    In other countries like Russia and Egypt, there are different prices for foreigners and locals which is fine but now it seems people can get discriminated like that in our own country.


    God damn our round eyes.

    Funny how you feel upset that you were discriminated against and you want to right the wrong but you throw in a racial slur in repsonse.

    Do unto to others as you would have to them do you, etc.

    The only reason people now go to the UK is for free health treatment for you your family and your mates, Free Housing for you your family and your mates, free Legal Aid for you your family and your mates. Free Car's for you your family and your mates ALL at the expense of the Tax Payer and dare you complain you are branded a Racist running the risk of losing your job and home.

    I have seen Churches smashed up in occupied zones, dealers openly selling, junkies injecting themselves whilst in charge of children. Nothing can be said or done because of the PC bleeding hearts Nazi's

    Wait until it happens here in Ireland. I hope it never does.

    Not everyone is like this of course but most of them are.

    It may be the case, then. I'd suspect it is, based on little more than a stranger's recollection of events that may not have even happened.

    I just want to clear something up. The free car for me and my family and my mates. Will we get that only if we're not white? I have some friends who are black so I presume they automatically get it, maybe the could pass it on to me. I mean whenever they go into a doctor they just push all the white people to the back of the queue so I guess they're on the right path.

    But if I black up will I get the free stuff? How thoroughly do they check?

    I presume as long as I black up I don't have to pay taxes either. Because black people don't pay taxes in your UK. Although I am confused because I heard the Queen doesn't pay taxes and she doesn't appear to be black.

    Please advise.

    Thanks honkey!

    Do they insist on having an Asian person with you because they know they won't be able to resist tidying up after you? How Asian are we talking? Will they let a Turkmen or an Uzbeck in or does it need to be at least a Korean?

    I just want to point out before I get called a bleeding limb neo-Naziaguran or whatever that I think it's awful if the OP's post is true.

    How would one Asian ensure the rest of the whiteys were tidy eaters? It don't make no sense!

    If you check at the door I think you'll find that you can rent an Asian (much Like you can rent a Dinner jacket) for a nominal fee.
