I must admit if i hear black/asian group attack white man, i am instictivly more upset.

When the same happens to a black/asian man, attacked by white youths its only when my common sense kicks in that i am as upset.

Do you feel the same?

Any racist attack, physical or verbal is beyond my comprehension. How on earth can you attack someone merely because of their skin colour, culture or race? All I can assume is that to do so you must in some way feel threatened by these people.

There's the case of the cabbie murdered in (I think) Huddersfield only this week. A normal guy going about his normal business, no doubt a father and husband and a good man.

Killed because he was of another background to these white youngsters who murdered him.

Sadly, we share this world with some sick individuals.

What Ousetunes said. It's all utterly deplorable whoever's doing it to whom.

I find any racist attack discusting.

If its a white person/ group carrying out the attack I not only feel discusted but ashamed to share my skin colour with such people.

I don't believe that these attacks are truely racict in origin. These thugs are out looking for someone to attack, just for kicks....they pick on anyone who gives them the slightest justification (in their own tiny drunken minds). If they cant find someone who is from a 'target' minority, then 'giving them a funny look' or 'spilling their pint' will do.

Of course, the excuse doesn't sound so good in court the next day, but it's too late then.....

Very well said. Its deplorable in any situation, (not just race, but homophobic as well for example) but in cases like the recent one where the asian taxi driver was killed by a bunch of whites, theres the added feeling of shame.

what ousetunes said

well the sad truth is you will always get racist attacks, you will always get gays beaten up ,because theres a lot of full weight c**** out there ,& thats all they are regardless of creed or colour

aye what pk said


damn dont tell me ive just agreed with pk :(
*gets coat*

I think any kind of racist attack is disgusting no matter which colour against which colour.

I think any attack by anyone on anyone, irrespective of their colour, is reprehensible.

a man goes out to do a days work, he doesnt come back because of some scum, colour is unimportant

two of these (and i hate to use the term) people are looking at being detained at her majesty's pleasure, what does this mean?

and shouldn't life actually mean life not just for these scum but all that are given life sentences for such barbaric crimes against other people

i would like to see the death penalty be brought back but i doubt that would ever happen

my personal condolences go to Mr Parvaiz's family

Christmas day night I was driving back to my auntys to finish off for a drink, but we had run out of cola for the whisky.

I nipped to the garage on Moonshine Lane, Southey Green where a bunch of yob tramps were hanging about outside. Inside, afriendly indian lad (who I chat to briefly if use the garage) was working alone. Some of the things that came out of their mouth made me sick, banging on the windows at him and trying to ruffle him up. Too his credit, this lad knew how to deal with such scum because he probably has to encounter these wastes of o2 on a daily basis.

However, the worst part is that I was powerless. My girlfriend was in the car and there was about 10 of them. The worst of the bad bunch, I would have loved to have seen him act the same way without his mob behind him. If it was a situation that I feel I could have controlled I would have intervened but I unfortunately am not immune to knives or able to deal with the probable en-mass attack.

not worth it....sadly

unfortunately as you said theyre barely ever found unless in a pack
in a pack mind i do still believe in the old adage.............go for the biggest and the rest will scatter

i once stopped an asian taxi driver from being beat up by two tw@ts my good deed for the day.he gave me a free taxi ride , see im not all bad, mel.

Racism is not acceptable regardless of who its directed at.
attacks are not acceptable regardless of who they are directed at.

That is quite a thing to admit. Do you value white lives above black and asian ones, or what?

It makes me upset.

The recent attack and subsequent death of the Asian taxi driver thats been in the news this week made me feel sick.

I think any attack by anyone on anyone, irrespective of their colour, is reprehensible.

yikes, it's a day of strange bedfellows, melthebel and pk and now I'm almost agreeing with max :)

I'd qualify it as a lot more than reprehensible, though - absolutely beyond the pale and totally wrong IMO.

That is quite a thing to admit. Do you value white lives above black and asian ones, or what?

no not at all, its just the inital feeling.

I think any attack by anyone on anyone, irrespective of their colour, is reprehensible.
This is my opinion also but unfortunately you can't reason with scum.
When will they start seeing fathers, sons and brothers instead of colour, no matter who is doing the attacking.
A nasty person is just that. He's not a nasty coloured person.

I think any racially motivated attack is disgusting to be honest and racism should be cut out of our culture altogether.

I think any attack by anyone on anyone, irrespective of their colour, is reprehensible.

I totally agree with you.

^^^^I'm with Max too.

yikes, it's a day of strange bedfellows, melthebel and pk and now I'm almost agreeing with max :)


easy rubes, i agreed with him, i aint jumping into bed with him :P

The idea of someone being attacked based on their appearance/ethnicity is utterly moronic.

For the 1st time in Sheffield some days before i was due to leave for a supposedly more racially intolerant country i was racially attacked. I'm eurasian.

Now the definition of asian is not in any sense pakistani/indian/bangladeshi as it is in england. Malay, Thai, Jap, Chinese etc are all in Asia.

The situation with the media which in truth are mostly controlled by a select few have there own agenda. It is apparent that the current anti arab/muslim feeling has a knock on effect for all ethnic groups even though being eurasian i am NOT in a ethnic group i am mixed race.

The fact that most western countries are now a mediaoracy means people perceptions are coloured by a media hell bent with there own agenda.

I was told in 2006 to go back home ..... being born, raised and educated in the UK and having paid taxes for nearly 20 years, where is home?

Any form of violence to another human is wrong weather they are, female, male, muslim, arab, black, asian etc

2006 for me marked the label for England for being racially intolerant no matter who you are eastern european, african, asian, s.european, s.american my view is that a number of the population want us all out.

It saddens me to express this view and with the rise of the BNP and a growing number of everyday folk expressing similar views even a spanish family member after 40 years here is told to go .....

Oh england oh england where has your soul gone.

forget racism! a person can & has been kicked to death for supporting the wrong football team, this is the country we live in...........unfortunetly

all though all acts of unprovoked violence are wrong.
when our country is at war with iraq, if a member of the uk attacked a person of iraq, i wouldn't consider that to be racist, more of an act of war.
it would interesting to see how the courts would deal with the murder of a non white iraqi by a white english man

any attack on another person, or animal come to think of it is disgusting, i know someone a bicker/punk who got kicked to death buy townies getting off a bus. why, because they were drunk and wanted to show off. doesnt matter who it is its still wrong.
