Neko - good to hear Luton is the promised land, I'll give the credit to that thoroughly good politician Kelvin Hopkins! I give it to the people - we rock ;D Another interesting example of non-racism in Luton: My regular nightclub, which is heavily dominated by white faces, is more likely to have a hostile reaction to a white 'hooded youth' than a black one. I'm not saying we have absolutely no racism whatsoever, but I certainly wouldn't say it's an issue that has the population particularly concerned!

Maybe in people aged 30+ there's a racism issue, but certainly not among the majority of working-class people (and I refuse to count chavs in 'working class' because most of them don't actually work!) some of the jokes at my local from the over 50s definately aren't pc......

There's a difference between telling a racist joke and being racist though. I've told all sorts of racist jokes, but that doesn't mean I have anything against those people - usually, they're a humorous observation based on truth, as with many other jokes. They just tend to be more shocking, is all. There's a major difference between humour and spite, remember...

everyone has prejudice of some sort in them! tis human - Jules you don't like the Swansea lads etc., etc., yes maybe everyone is prejudiced but it's not necessarily a good thing. I don't really have a problem with Swansea, that's just football for you.

everyone is prejudice, jules, you should hear some of the assumptions made about skinny people on mass by the general public. Most of the assumptions are HIGHLY insulting and untrue! some minorities are in fact racist too; at uni this year, a fella of middle eastern origin proclaimed to my mates (would is half england and half sikh), "i'm beat you anyway as asians are smarter than whites anyway" ...... it was amount a moot and i believe the fella lost ;D ignorance causes bigotry and i seriously don't believe the working class english to be more ignorant than anyone peoples working class... Again "oh, everyone is, well that's okay then" Yep that's not good either, and I'm not from Mars, you don't have to tell me that! No I'm not saying that. I'm sure there are some very racist Welsh people too...
