    Prevalent means common, which it isn't.

    Haven't seen any. Seen a lot of hard working people abused verbally by wasters but that's not racism so it obviously doesn't matter.

    Cycling home the other evening, minding my own business, guy passes me out , I catch him at the lights and pass him, he passes me again, clearly making an effort, suddenly I realise, he's a racist, a bicycle racist, so that's one kind inanyways-oh, and he was on a black bike!

    A guy I worked with in a call centre said there wasn't a chance of us getting outsourced because "no-one wants to talk to a fcuking paki bastard"

    Our jobs were outsourced 6 weeks later.

    i thought you said verbally abused by waiters. usually the other way round.

    And to be fair, I've seen people be nasty to staff more often than I've seen racism.

    These threads pop up with ferocious regularity on here OP, I doubt much has changed in the country since last month's thread with a "how are we for racism now lads?" theme.

    Was playing an underground poker game in Queens New York one time and this African American guy was using the "n" word all night.

    Worst racism I have ever come across.

    My music teacher said "F*ck, sh*t, balls, n*gger" when he dropped something when I was in 3rd year.


    We just laughed because they were only words.

    You sure? They seem to be letting off Welcome fireworks pretty regularly to show their neighbours how much they want them to come visit.

    One time there was a black lad in the shop I work in, he was buying credit I think. Two scumbags were filling out lotto slips.One of them looked up and saw the black lad and says loudly to his friend:

    " C'mon take fcuk till we get out of here, I don't wanna be catching aids."

    Bastard got out of the shop before I got to say anything

    to be fair, you probably wouldn't have said anything either way.

    Samuel L Jackson's character in Django Unchained was pretty racist.
