Milwalkee riots

You've got a cheek!!! So, anyone who doesn't tow the line, or should I say, your way of thinking is a racist, full-stop? I put up a valid argument about other races in the United States and how they are NOT targeted that often by the police. Ask yourself why as to why that it before pulling bella, paul or myself up. Are you culturally challenged by any chance? I have lived and grown up in areas that have a large majority of ethnic groups. I went to a secondary school in the Midlands where 50% of the students were muslim, and it was then I had my first visit to a mosque. It was culturally enriching too. How about learning another language other than one that requires knowledge of the latin alphabet, something like Putonghua, or Hakka, or many of the various dialects of Chinese. Why not Hiragana, Katakana or the Kaji that are the equivalent of Chineset characters. Until you learn something about other cultures i.e. Hispanic, black, Chinese, Vietnamian etc etc, you have to understand the people and how they deal with situations. Furthermore, I refer you to a system again, that is even more oppressive than anything an immigrant in the USA has ever had to endure; the Caste system. We go on about certain races in America, we go on about religions and how they are oppressive, yet I am not able to find a thread on this forum about the worst system in the world. Read up on it and then you'll see that what the blacks went through for a couple of hundreds of years, would be nothing to compared to what the caste system has done to certain people in India over the last couple of thousand years, but that is another topic. Either way, #alllivesmatter#

Nah...Not towing the line, isn't racist.

Being unwilling to acknowledge the difference between a protester and a rioter, might be though. Dismissing legitimate concerns, and maintaining that such concerns aren't worthy of being discussed or addressed until unreasonable, and often unrelated challenges/demands are met, is rather suspect.

Suggesting that you're somehow privy to knowledge or a formula that has allowed you to quantify group suffering, indicates that you may have some "issues" as well.

There is clearly a difference between what you care about and what I care about. I care about the world as a WHOLE, and not ONE race. Every country has suffering and as such, it needs to be brought to the attention of the world. Think back to how the Jewish were treated in Europe for the last 2,000 years, and compare that to how the lowest caste are treated. In the democratic world, the USA or UK for example, we all have the right to an education, we can eat with whomever we wish to eat with, we can marry whoever we wish to. In the caste system, it is a disgrace, where the lower castes don't have the right to an education, they are most often sent to prison for trivial matters, whereas someone from a higher caste would get off scott free. You see, that is the difference between you and me. I see the whole world, you only see the United States. Whatever goes on in the United States has no effect on those in the United Kingdom because we are more liberal than the Americans and the rednecks of this world. We embrace many cultures, we love cuisine that is proper cuisine, not McDos or BurgerKing or KFC. We have Islamic channels, Punjabi channels, Chinese channels that show us what we in the West are clearly missing. We have cinemas that show punjabi films, we have curry miles, in fact, we have everything that the rednecks don't have.


Jackie Cheung and Andy Lau are brilliant in this one:

Why not this guy

Or why not this late great singer:

Of course, according to you, I am culturally backward because I am white. Racist.
