Do you see my point?

Do you think all football fans want to jump you in front of your wife?
Do you think all asians would do that or any other race of person?

You are a victim of an attack carried out by a minority of evil, vicious people who happened to be of a different race and may or may not have done it because of your skin colour, but don't stoop as low as them by holding it against every other person who is of that skin colour. Stand above that.

I study with a lot of people from a lot of different countries. I can't comprehend hating a race of people because it would mean I lost a lot of friends and the opportunity to make a lot more.

I said this exact same thing to Jack Straw when he came into college and suggested we didn't like eachother because of race/religion. It seemed to completely go over the top of his head that people pick friends based on interest and personality and hobbies and such.

What a sad world it would be if we really just picked friends based on skin colour.

No I got that bit, I was being sarcastic. My point is that they could easily have been any race and attacked you. White people attack other white people, asian people attack other asian people. It happens all the time regardless of race, because the simple point is that there are evil people in every race. You shouldn't dislike an entire group of people because of a few idiots who hurt you even if they did attack you because of the colour of YOUR skin. There will still be more decent, considerate and gentle people in any race than evil, violent yobs.

That is my point.

Unlike the fat people you professed to hate not long ago. Find it a bit ironic how you can castigate anybody for their opinions!!!!

Re: Isnt this Rascist ?

The reason people who have been attacked or hurt in anyway do sterotype and dislike/hate entrie subgroups is very primitive. It is a defence mechanism the only way humans know to protect themselves in the future.
Example: when a child burns his hand in the fire he learns not to put his hand in the fire again
When same child is attacked by a gang of kids from Church he learns not to go near kids from Church,for kids from Church please insert any sub group: white, black, Scottish Welsh, etc etc

I don't go around attacking fat people though. I have plenty of fat friends. In fact, my husband is fat. What will I do?

I'm not saying I don't have prejudices, I'm not perfect. But I aim to not have them. I was brought up under a religion full of them also which is quite unfortunate.

As you don't seem to grasp words can be just as much if not more hurtful. So yes you did attack fat people.

By the way you kept that quiet, when did you get married?

Perhaps she met and married him at her college's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender group, which she earlier informed us she's a member of.

I can remember a firm of solicitors who employed a deaf person on their telephone switchboard. She probably had some means of interpreting what the caller said but it was often a real problem for the caller to understand her reply, as like many deaf people never having heard speech she did not form her words in the same way hearing people do. Talking to her face to face she could lip read and to an extent her listener would be able to do the same, but talking to her on the phone was a nightmare for me because I really struggled to understand but then felt very ignorant when I had to keep saying "Pardon?"

I have the same problem understanding telesales people from India (who insist on telling me they are called George or Keith!) and I used to feel that I shouldn't offend them by telling them that I can't understand them but now I think "Why the heck not?" If I haven't a clue what they are chunnering on about then they are really not going to be able to sell me anything are they? (Remember the voodoo woman from Fiji?)

And that is why I said such 'discrimination' is not discrimination at all but common sense. It's about time people stopped jumping on the bandwagon and claiming racial harrassment or sexual discrimination or any other sort of thing that is not there at all.

I posted that, well the last sentence, at least three months ago when we last had a thread on this subject.
