Have any of you ever been the subject of racial abuse?

Parts of Morden and a small part of St Hellier have SW postcodes but are still within the borough of Sutton.

In Croydon there are areas with SE, SW and BR post codes.

Judging somewhere by post codes can be a bit hit and miss. I grew up slap bang in the middle of West Sussex and our post code began RH20...which is Redhill in some strange county to the north, nowhere near where we were, in any respect.

My postcode is CH (Chester) which is in a different country to my house!

I have been abused for being a Catholic a few times, not racist but the religion comes with my race I guess.

Yeah but if your posts on here are anything to go by you invite it on yourself. I mean... this is Sussex. No-one outside of Lewes gives a toss if you're Catholic, CoE, 7th Day Adventist or Church of the flying noodle.

remember my grandad telling me that he was given a hard time at first when joining west hove golf course in the late 60s as they thought he was Jewish had to get the pro at the time to vouch for him that he was a catholic . he got in and then worked tirelesly to change attitudes and" special rules " good on him I say

 

[Dandyman]

changed a lot , its little bangladesh now, you wouldnt recognise it from the early 80's, seriously , did you know tooting/balham/streatham in the 80's ?

I lived around Furzedown from 1982 to 1984. Seems nicer now to be honest.

Barking is in a London borough but had a Romford postcode, some anti-white abuse there. Not as bad as N4 or E2 though.
Best place was Clapton Pond where it was largely orthodox Jews, very pleasant and respectable people.

The fact you can't come up with source shows you are deluding yourself about how bad it it. I actually searched it for you and couldn't even find a Daily Mail report close to what you stated.

I have a mate who was beat up badly by some asian thugs after an argument with an asian taxi driver. There was a racial element but mainly it was about money, attitude and ignorance. But it happens on both sides and your Daily Mail type points only add fuel to the fire.

The police made the problem of not being able to catch racist attacks on white people harder because they don't get the support they should from the communities they come from. There was an element of racism within the police force years ago that made relations so bad some groups won't help the police even though they would like to.

Just because you didn't get your own way theres no need to start sqwarking about the Daily Mail like a Gaurdian reading parrot.

Did you see the main story on the front of the Times yesterday?

Then he is winding you up, when blacks kiss their teeth , it's got nothing to do with race. they might have looked at you and kissed their teeth as an expression of contempt, but they would equally do that for something else which pissed them off.

So i pissed them off then for being white as when i passed they were sucking fast and staring directly at me. I'll leave it to people to decide on their motives.

i believe you, was just pointing out that kissing teeth isnt specifically against white people.

You're right. just asked leroy at work who is black. Told him what happened and wanted his opinion on the subject as told him about this debate.

his reply was- it isn't racist, the sucking of the teeth generates from the west Indies and Jamaica and can mean different things. leroy sucks his teeth when down or pissed off. could mean a sign of aggression or drugs or they just do it as their forefathers do it.

i stand corrected.
