Least you admit you wan't to live somewhere that feels like "England" again. I don't blame you dude really tbh, ignore all the tards.
South West is good bet though.

Yawwwn
Can't be bothered to reply properly to you anymore
You mean it's difficult to come up with a scenario in which you might plausibly need to say the word ******, outside of a debate like this? Yes, that does sound challenging.
What's your point? This thread is hardly overrun with people defending the lack of integration by some immigrants.
Actually no.
My original statement merely stated that people use the word 'coloured' in a conversation when referring to a Pakistani/Nigerian person. You then have somehow switched that around to 'tell me how the word ****** would pop up in a conversation outside of this thread'.
You just nit pick and switch things around, it's all very amusing.
Also, marrying someone not of your own kind is often frowned upon (a mate of mine had a few beatings for this very reason
). I don't hear any cries of racism there (as far as I'm concerned, that's their custom/culture and I wouldn't care enough to interfere), although I'm sure someone here saying they wouldn't marry a person of ethicity would be opening themselves up to accusations of xenophobia/racism.
No, you said you use the word "coloured" as an alternative to **** or ***** in order to avoid getting yourself beaten up. I then asked why you would go from those offensive terms to another perjorative term, albeit a markedly less severe one, when there are already perfectly neutral terms that you could use. You've yet to explain why your first port of call when referring to Pakistani's and black people would be the words **** and *****, were it not for fear of getting beaten up.
What are you talking about? If it's frowned upon because they're of a different race/culture then that is racist. If you don't want to marry somsone, you don't want to marry someone, the default state is not "I want to marry that person", the default regarding other people should be "they can marry who they want". I highly doubt anyone is going to be offended by the head of the BNP not marrying a black woman, as why would there be any expectation that he should?Also, marrying someone not of your own kind is often frowned upon (a mate of mine had a few beatings for this very reason

I don't really agree - it's a case of whatever floats your boat really (whether that boat is brown, white, yellow or rainbow
). Am I homophobic for not wanting to marry a gay guy as well?Righto, believe what you wish sir.
I don't refer to them as those names, I hardly ever revert to even speaking about them because they are barely in my daily life.
If you want to get technical, I actually stated this originally:
If you read that sentence, it says 'People', not 'I'. May I also elaborate as you can't seem to fathom this, the above statement is referring to people in my area or people I have been around, not the entire nations way of describing certain origins.
You may be a grammar nazi, but you can't seem to read properly.
Says the dirty northerner!
So you never said this?
Indeed I did say that, well done.
I have also just stated that I rarely speak about Pakistani's or Black people due to them not really being involved around my daily life.
With regards to the spouting part, I said that if I did say those words out in public then yes, bad things probably would happen in some of the towns surrounding me.
I have stated a fact for the area that I live near, what is so hard to grasp?
A good friend of mine had no end of trouble with his Indian ex-girlfriends's family. No amount of talking to him would convince him that it wasn't a good idea as her family were quite a firm, traditional lot. Sad, but that's just the way it is - I'm not sure if they saw this as "diluting" their culture or whatever.
Maybe it's wrong that I'm not ranting and raving about the idea of some people wanting to stick to their "own kind" due to whatever customs or prejudices. You can't *force* people to mix if they don't want to so let them live as they see fit, as long as they're not running around with pitchforks and spouting venom.
Slight derailment there...
This is racist, obviously the girlfriend didn't have a problem with him being from another culture, so the family were being racist.
This is not, no-one is being forced to mix, and especially not to form relationships or marry outside of their culture, but no-one should be stopped from doing so either. Not sure how you don't see that you're looking at completely opposite sides of the coin and saying they're the same.
Your posts have come across implying that you would use those words when you needed to describe a pakistani or black person, and that the reason you wouldn't is because you'd get beaten up, not because they're inherently racist terms to use in this country. You either do think this, or your posts were not clear, you're not being unduly questioned.
