Bruno Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 OK Here's the thread the otherway round. I personally have not felt that ethnic minorities have been racist toward me. Has any White Sheffielders felt Ethnic Minorities have been racist toward them?

Has any White Sheffielders felt Ethnic Minorities have been racist toward them? In some parts of Sheffield white people are an ethnic minority.
mikey10 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 it happens a lot, but is not reported, when it is its ignored by the council. pubs in tinsley are atacked. i agree some areas are now predominently alien to the good people of sheffield.
Bruno Posted March 10, 2008 Author Posted March 10, 2008 In some parts of Sheffield white people are an ethnic minority. I appreciate that, which is why I've asked the question Has any White Sheffielders felt Ethnic Minorities have been racist toward them?
mikey10 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 what about what goes off in bradford with asians getting pre teen girls hooked on drugs and then using them for sex?
TESTPASS Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 In every race you are going to find people that have strongly held views, its human nature to be that way. a percentage of people in the world actually beleve in aliens or that we went to the moon but a lot of communities ,especial minorities can be seen as clicky and dubious of outsiders and this can be seen the wrong way. If I lived in another country I would head strieght for the nearest british community for obvious reason like langage ect. I would obviously being part of that community look out for the needs of that community as they would myself. I think a lot of racism is no more than missunderstanding of other cultures and the understandable misstrust of people that are different ( that works both ways ). I lived on an estate where it was totaly white and that close that if a car drove down the road that shouldnt have been there it was instantly notice by someone as being out of the ordinary. the only sad part is that it was so close a community that it scared the council into demoliting it and dispersing everyone for no more than the community spirit was seen as some sort of thrett I imagine. had this being an ethnic community they would dared not to do what they did and even had laws against them doing it. the best thing to do is try to break down the devide and eatch try to get a better understanding of cultures and just accept we have differences.
Rushup Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 what about what goes off in bradford with asians getting pre teen girls hooked on drugs and then using them for sex? Ok....... do you have any links to reputable sources or is this just some fantasy of yours? If you're going to cite incidents, please back them up with evidence.
tiffy Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 My friend (in her 40s) was on her way home from work around 5pm one weekday evening and was shouted at by some elderly man, she's not sure which ethnic group he was from. She was wearing a knee-length skirt (part of the uniform) and she had on black tights and black shoes with a heel. He shouted at her and told her she should cover up but then went on to be very abusive and making comments about her legs. She was so shocked by this as a number of us were when she told us. We and they (immigrants) are ill-prepared for a multi-ethnic community. We're thinking in terms of, 'when in Rome....'
Tess Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Like i wrote in another thread, i once got shouted at by an Asian man in Broomhall, who shouted from across the road, "Go back to your own country little white girl!" It really offended me, and i really felt like standing up for myself but i knew whatever i said he would claim i was just being racist. So being the bigger woman I walked away - although looking back i wish i had reported him, because if it had been vice versa i know i would have got in a lot of trouble.
boyfriday Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 what about what goes off in bradford with asians getting pre teen girls hooked on drugs and then using them for sex? Does that have any relevance to racism received by white Sheffielders by ethnic minorities...I'd love to abuse you sometimes Mikey, but gawd, it aint cos you iz white!
