Milwalkee riots

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.

You actually have no clue as to what's important me or whether or not I think globally, douche. I take it you're probably just sore that I'm able to discuss this issue without being side-tracked by your constant red herrings. I'm addressing the specific issue as it pertains to the OP; that's a thoroughly common and and encouraged practice here. Get your head out of your ass.

And I don't think you're racist because you're white. I actually had no way of knowing that, until just now.
Because I can't actually see you...you do know that, right?

It's your comments over several threads that have lead me to that conclusion. Nothing else.

There was nothing in my post to suggest that I am or was sore. In fact, I am very happy indeed. I mean, I am an immigrant too, which puts me in a better position than you to talk about equality, fairplay and ethics. I am a foreigner in another country, I reside here and I work here, therefore I am an immigrant. I have had to face the criticisms of my country to my face, I have had people mock me for my accent or the way I hold my teacup. There is nothing better than make people eat their words, saying I won't get anywhere because of where I come from, or because I didn't master their language. However, I think 5 promotions in 6 years proved them wrong and to be honest, I am loving it. I am the foreigner, taking their job, and going places where they want to be. Why? Because I work hard and I don't criticise the system no matter how much I hate their system. I don't criticise the police either, because they have a difficult enough job as it is, the neighbourhood where I live is a Chinatown section, where the majority are either Vietnamian or Chinese (nothing better than having 60 Chinese restaurants at your fingertips, or even Lebanese, kebab, Greek. There are a large number of North Africans where I live and they are fantastic, and to be honest, I couldn't wish for a better neighbourhood, listening to Raï (not the Italian television network either.) So you see, you can think what you like of me, we live in a free society, it doesn't matter one jot. I don't think anything bad about you either because I am, as you say, just someone behind an azerty keyboard. Have a nice evening.
