Spouting some groundless percentages isn't backing up your statement.

Well the percentages are from MoJ publications. But this is not a UK phenomenon, it's one mirrored throughout the Western world. This doesn't mean there is a correlation between race and crime and I never claimed there was. But it's absolutely true that minorities are more prone to crime.

Now there are many arguments for why that might be the case (poverty, exclusion, racism) but it doesn't change the fact it's true. So if I was picking a neighbourhood to live in, I'd absolutely want to be in a ethnic majority area.

I think in Europe especially, ethnic minorities are a far bigger issue than they are in the US, as here they are less likely to integrate. We don't have a melting pot situation which only exasperates the alleged causes of this higher crime rate and anti-social behaviour.
 
Its interesting hearing the reaction of people towards racism here. We dont know how lucky we have it in this country trust me. When i was in Taiwan there is certainly racism against those of a darker skin colour and there is a weird kinda racism against white people. But there is no backlash against this...its just normal. And also there is the prevailing expectation that if you move to a foreign country then you adapt to it...it doesnt adapt to you. The racism against white people is weird because on the one hand you are exotic and you get people gravitating towards you wanting to be your friend etc but mainly because you are white (i suppose they have certain assumed associations of you because you are white). But then sit down on the train and you will magically find you are enclosed in an invisible bubble that means no native will be within 2ft of you even if the train is jam packed to the rafters haha. I have been accosted in the street by a Taiwanese teacher complaining about all the white people taking away the teaching jobs. He claimed Taiwanese can teach english no problem yet employers look at the skin colour first...no one bats an eyelid.

Anyway its worth noting...the UK is a multicultural melting pot....you would expect disparities and clashes...perhaps the ethnics Neil is talking about were Chinese? Mandarin is a tonal language so maybe thats why they are quite loud in speaking?

Just invest in a good pair of sennheiser noise cancelling headphones...job done.

Pretty well, some helpful advice... The usual race card being used, but this is OCUK GD, expect everything :)

By the way I just filled a form out that said what ethnicity I was, I think I'll complain that it's racist! They are ethnics there is no racism in that, they are what they are , if they were Scottish I'd say " noisy Scottish people below me " ;)

Not bothered, when it comes to some posters you can be branded a racist very very easily. But I got the advice that was needed of which I'm very grateful for the higher IQ based members of the forum :)
 
Wow, this thread has got it all!:

  • Men-children who can't cope away from their parents

  • Keyboard warriors

  • Probable actual racists

  • People who aren't really racists at all, but are getting slammed as racists

  • Wannabe activist pedants who are calling others racists over pure semantics

  • People who don't really understand what racism is

I know a guy, sort of a friend I suppose. Well anyway. Ethnic minorities stole his bike!

Where will it stop? First it's our bicycles, then our right to have a quiet life. Next they'll be taking our freedom!!

I live next door to this Indian restaurant and I hardly hear them during the day and My computer blocks out any talking during the evening but they close at 11 yet every night between 1.30 and 2am they are shouting and talking very loudly. Amount of issues I've had with Indians or Pakistani's during my life time if it's not with BT India, taxi drivers, scammers and now these next door neighbours. :mad: Would reporting it to the council do anything?, I've recorded it on my EVP recorder as evidence.

Moving out of my parents place so far has been the worst mistake I ever made and this is not good for my health

OP, seems you have some issues with "ethnics" and also terrible judgement on where to live. :rolleyes:
