Gordon just out of interest, are you still claiming you are not a racist?
Fair question, let me give you a brief description of my outlook on life and I'll let you be the judge.
I treat every person I meet as a blank slate with no preconceptions.
Something that's inescapable tho is that people of different backgrounds often exhibit common behavioral traits, why wouldn't they?
Go out drinking with Irish guys, don't be surprised when they've had a few they get dark and surly and start looking for a fight. I've been drinking with plenty of Irish guys and more often than not the night doesn't end well.
I've also been drinking with Krauts more times than I can remember, and when they get drunk they tend to want to do weird things like sticking a 5 meter piece of toilet paper in their bum, lighting it and seeing if they can eat 5 frankfurters before their arse gets burned.
Now not all Irish and German guys are like that, but when stuff like happens you're just not surprised.
Now currys, I have a few very cool curry clients, but something that's also a really common trait with young curry guys, particularly FOTB student types is they're pervy as hell.
If you've been to India you'd know they stare and stare and they act pretty abysmally towards foreign women.
Not all Indians here are like that, but do some astute people watching and pay attention, you'll clearly notice it.
There are reasons why young Indian guys are like that, we can get into the reasons if you like another time.
As I said, I treat every person I meet as a blank slate with no preconceptions but when they exhibit behaviors very common with their culture, I have no problem calling them out on it. Is that racism?
Many things make you a racist.
The most obvious example of that in this particular thread is that you are going on about Indian men in a thread about a man from Nepal.
But carry on. I know that's good enough for you and a few others on here.
