No blacks, no dogs ,no irish

[daveinprague]

would be if you lived in the UK dave

Yeah, right...If I was in the UK, I would see credible examples of either? haha...

NO HAWKERS was of greater concern to me as a youngster.

Wasn't that on a sign at the top of Warren Road as you went into Woodingdean

The thread title would make a great title for a book don't you think?

Trouble is if someone did write such a book it would probably turn out to be a terrible autohagiography

 

[wellquickwoody]

Is this wrong?

No.

you probably wouldn't as you tend to walk around with your eyes closed ?

 

[daveinprague]

Teach me bright eyes, find me some credible examples of each of them...

It's a totally hypothetical question, the ads you mention dont happen , why not comment on the thread in question, or is it too difficult to admit that there is just as much racism from "minorities" ?

I agree with you.

There should be no discrimination, end of.

i actually thought it was some connection to the book itself.

Are dating websites sexist then?

fair point!

i have a room to let and im looking for an 18-19 yr old Thai girl.absolutely NO one else is considered

is that racist?

It just seems that its fine to be racist or discriminate if your not white. If a white person had posted the advert saying 'whites only' there would be uproar and it would be racist. As its minoritys saying it, its fine - racism works both ways in my opinion and therefore, rules apply both ways

 

[BadFish]

I think there is some merit in highlighting the disenfranchisement of white working class people.

Although I don't think that the article within the link really does that, neither has the discussion in the rest of the thread.

I find it funny that Bushy constantly blames other groups of people living in the same areas with the same issues rather than look for viable solutions to help all the people struggling regardless of their race and gender. But what do I know I live in beautiful leafy middle class Geelong and have never seen anyone of different colour.

How can you say 'it just seems that its fine to be racist or discriminate if your not white' (sic) when the BBC article suggests that such adverts are illegal? Also, the vast majority of people on this thread have also made it clear they consider such adverts unacceptable.

What's her name?

Has anyone said it is fine? The vast majority on here seem to agree that it is not fine.
