The first time I witnessed racism was when I was babysitting two of my cousins who are half-Korean when I was a teenager. This was actually the most serious form of racism I've ever seen since it involved adults against small children. This happened back in the mid-1990's, I was about 15 years old at the time, I was babysitting them on a beach (they were 6 and 10) while our parents & grandparents were in a restaurant on the strand. We were just playing football with a beachball. We weren't bothering anyone when a bunch of elderly men & women (around 60+) started picking up stones and throwing them at us, yelling "go back to your own country", and stuff like that. I had to cover them as best as I could and get them back to the restaurant with those feckers following us and throwing stones. You'd think a bunch of people that old would have more sense than to pick on small children unable to defend themselves! Disgusting behavior!

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

To be fair, you don't know me, so you don't know what I would or wouldn't have said.

Just an educated guess from what most people are like on the internet.
I'm playing the stats.

Seen a black girl in her 20s get heil saluted last week on Dame St by some English bloke (part of a large group of guys on stag I assumed).

His mates seemed to just ignore what he did and none of them broke stride.

I was in a shop a few years ago around the time a young girl visiting Galway had been murdered. Behind the counter was the Irish manager and an Indian man were serving. A few middle aged male customers were chatting over the counter to the manager about the murder and who might've committed it. They were all of the opinion that it wouldn't be "one of our own" ,then one of the men motioned to the Indian guy and said "it'll be one of these lads, these blow in foreigners, you never know what they'll be upto" and the conversation continued with the men nodding agreement and no one missing a beat as if this was a perfectly acceptable thing to do.
Anyway I chimed in that I couldn't think of a murder committed here that was not committed by an Irish native. They ignored me but I was glad I said something anyway even if it was completely ineffective.

Turned out the murderer was a Galway man too.

There's already 2 threads about Gaza. Do you need to gate crash another one?

bboybaboy19 · 26-07-2014 07:29PM

YEAH.

Bit concerned he hasn't replied. If an assassin does happen by chance to do away with him I feel I should say that was a joke.

RobbingBandit · 26-07-2014 07:30PM

Not exactly racist per-say but here goes, my neighbours most of them are foreign, there are a couple from Africa and many from Eastern Europe, two at least have been blaring Polka music and tribal music at least twice a week for hours on end, Landlord has done nothing about it, should I start blasting out the auld ra songs(IRA music) to make this a race war?

Where did this happen , Ireland ?

keeponhurling · 26-07-2014 07:47PM

I once saw a guy in a Subway in Dublin abusing an asian looking girl who worked there. Think she messed up the order or something.

He was shouting at her to " learn some F*cking English ".

That said, I'm not sure if it counts as racism as he never mentioned skin colour or anything, more like language ability discrimination or something

Her answer should have been " When you can speak Irish as well as I speak English you'll have a point "

I've been called all sorts and had stuff thrown at me due to being english, but I'm not sure how much is actual racism and how much is just scumbags being scumbags.
