Most racist person you ever met.

darkdubh · 06-03-2014 9:49am #1

There was this guy in secondary school who was always coming out with racist comments and this was in the late 80s early 90s when there were virtually no black people in Ireland.On the monday after the boxer Floyd Patterson was interviewed on the Late Late by Gaybo he was saying did you see that ****** on with Gaybo?In more recent times there was a fella in work who had spent time in Australia who insisted that Aborigines were half ape and that they had a habit of killing people in the outback and eating them and i don't think he was joking.

Fr Ted Crilly.

An awful racist guy towards the Chinese .

I met a stripper once. Very racy.

Just to correct you, they're all ape, as are all homo sapiens.

A black woman I had to deal with in work, called my co-worker and myself all the white trash names you can think of, even hit me with her passport and then threw it at me but according to her we were the racists. They've some chip on their shoulders

Just to correct you, Homo Sapien refers only to Humans. Apes are not Homo Sapiens and we are not apes. In fact, we were never actually apes. We just share a common ancestry with apes.

We are collectively referred to as Hominidae

Elderly neighbour of my friend: 'There's a black fella who works in Supervalu now, you know. I had to ask him where the beans where when there was no white workers around, and sure enough he knew where they were and all. Sure he's as good as a Polish or Chine-ee*'

Delivered in tones of genuine surprise.

*He thinks its the singular of Chinese - e.g. 2 Chinese, 1 Chine-ee

You've taken the actions of one woman and used it to tar an entire race. That's prejudice.

Legs.Eleven · 06-03-2014 10:08am

Probably the South African I met in Bolivia who started to visibly shake with anger and spit violently with every word when she started talking about the "Blicks" in her country. Completely loo-la.

Im not racist. The only race I hate is the one you have to run in

A few years ago when getting a taxi the driver attempted to blame the bad Dublin City traffic on black people because, in his words, "all the cars were slowing down to look at them".

I've had a very similar encounter with a SA guy I know. Won't tolerate any discussion or debate about it either.

martinedwards · 06-03-2014 10:11am

I met Alf Garnet. most racist man on TV in the 60s and 70s.

when I met him in the 90s (OK, the actor Warren Mitchel) he was a wonderful gentleman, as nice a guy as you could possibly want to spend an evening in a nice bar with

We are apes I'm afraid, powerful ignorance.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ape

Hominoidea contains two families of living (extant) species:
Hylobatidae consists of four genera and sixteen species of gibbon, including the lar gibbon and the siamang. They are commonly referred to as lesser apes.

Hominidae consists of orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos and humans.[1][2] Alternatively, the hominidae family are collectively described as the great apes.[3][4][5][6] There are two extant species in the orangutan genus (Pongo), two species in the gorilla genus, and a single extant species Homo sapiens in the human genus (Homo). Chimpanzees and bonobos are closely related to each other and they represent the two species in the genus Pan.

I was at the bus stop one day when a guy walked past and threw an empty beer bottle at a black girl beside me hitting her on the head and shouted some racist abuse. She was only a kid of about 13/14. I felt so ashamed to be white I can tell you.

Dear god. How can anyone whose ever breathed air think that's an ok thing to do? And to a little girl?

I don't think he'd do it to an adult his own size, it's a cowardly act.

This is one of those things I'm glad I didn't look or jump to the end to read, I was wondering how it was going to pan out, needless to say, I'm relieved. Thought you might have been one of those flat earthers.

I know, thats the problem, not enough white people report the racist abuse we recieve from black people, and when they do they are basically laughed at. I shouldn't of said 'they've' but with the thousands i've dealt with in work over the years it is the majority of black women who verbally attack me.

Just try to remember, next time you're in a meeting at work that what you're seeing is a bunch of apes, walking around in suits, drinking tea and pointing at pie charts on a screen. Makes the day seem easier.:)

irishgrover · 06-03-2014 10:25am

knew a woman in the states. She was Ethiopian (and black) and held quite racist views of African Americans, and inter racial relationships in general.... Two of her more memorable comments....

1. Said directly to an African American...."You are nothing like me, I am African, you are American, to be honest there is a good reason that my ancestors sold you in the first place...."

2. Said directly about her own sister (whom she found out was dating a white man)..."This has to stop, there will be no Café au lait children in my family...."

very sad really.....

As entrenched as is possible to be he was. And like many of our brethren in the North, even discussing the matter was like a threat to his identity. It's so incongruous in a person who seemed completely reasonable in every other way.

I met a black South American woman once was living in Ireland who told me that Ireland had been ruined by all the "small-eyed Asians" that we allowed in. That our culture had been diluted and Ireland was a disappointment.

She didn't see how her living in Ireland might be the same thing. :rolleyes:

sillyoulfool · 06-03-2014 10:48am

Sadly racist views can be found in all societies and at all levels in society, and I include Ireland in that.
The most overtly racist comment I remember was when Conor Lenihan, a junior minister in the FF/PD coalition referred to Turkish workers being exploited by a company called GAMA as "the kebabs".

Was doing my shopping in Woolworths in Brisbane the other day.

Went to the register threw all my groceries up.. Old Woman (must have been pushing 70's) was having a grand chat with the couple ahead of me.

Came to me, she began passing the shopping threw the laser looked up and this is how the conversation went:

Big smiling nice old lady behind register: 'Hello young man how are you today?'.

Me in an Irish accent: 'I'm doing grand, very hot the last week hopefully we'll get a little rain soon, how are you?'

Her reply: 'Oh you're Irish? (Still grinning)'

My reply: 'Yes I am, I'm sure you're fed up with all the Irish out here.'

Her reply 'Ah sure atleast you're not black (still grinning but looked more serious this time)'

Shocked and didn't really know what to say to that as there was a black woman 2 people back beginning to put her groceries on the conveyor belt!!!

Femme_Fatale · 06-03-2014 10:56am

A black person who was in a bad temper and acting the ass - didn't mention anything about race but was acting the ass so that's = racist... "they've" some chip on their shoulder.

Am I doing this right?

That reminds me...a mate of a mate has an english accent but is an irish resident and pissed off a load of kilkenny people during a televised hurling match in a pub on purpose!! Everytime there was a score he'd say "now that's hurley" in his best english accent!!

ash23 · 06-03-2014 11:00am

My granny was unbelievably racist. It was really just borne from ignorance as she probably never even saw a black person until she was in her 60s.

I recall a very embarrassing incident when we were at the hospital (she was late 70s at this stage) and I went up and got us soup and bread rolls. She refused to eat the bread roll because the "big black man touched it". I explained he was wearing gloves but she would have none of it.

On the other hand she always gave generously to "the little black babies in Africa" so I think she just had a warped view of what being black meant.

She also refused to eat fish after the tsunami because the fish would have been eating the people who had drowned.

In my experience, through many interactions with Africans (& I served in Sierra Leone, Rwanda & Djibouti), an awful lot of them do have a chip on their shoulder & are just as rascist as white supremascists.

And just as many black people don't have a chip on their shoulder. You should be judging individuals on their own merits, not pre-judging them based on your past experiences of people who happen to share their race.

Agreed...not pre-judging, just stating a fact.

My eldest son is black from my relationship with a fine Jamaican lady who I will always love & respect :eek:

It's not rascist to state a fact...rascism is a two way street unfortunately.

Anyone who suggests travellers in Ireland are treated as badly as black people were under apartheid is either having a laugh or in need of having their head examined.

Most racist person you ever met.
