I don't expect that in my own country that is historically white British and english speaking.

Why is this not allowed to be a problem?

Honestly, the most threatened I've ever felt on the tube was when I was with my girlfriend, who is Indian. I am white. There was some **** with no hair, who was staring at her and I like we'd offended him. She pulled me off the train. I was ready to go for him.

Why would it be a problem that cultures and races mix?! These scary people talking in mad languages are probably talking about exactly the same mundane (although perhaps less offensive) crap as you talk about.

When you are in a foreign country, do you only speak the native language for fear of scaring idiotic locals? I thought not.

Jesus Christ, even pitchfork agrees with me this time!

All you got to do is sound off the air raid sirens and when they go on to the tube brick it up..problem solved

That's like going to Italy and being surprised there's pasta, they're famous for it man.

I'm sure last time you went on holiday you learnt the language, I bet you even blacked up a bit.

I've had this debate before, yes I do always attempt to learn some basic level of the language before travelling abroad. I don't sit there chattering in some pingu language wearing ridiculously impractical clothing.

It's your problem, not one shared by the majority though

Our laungauge is a combination of foreign laungauages, we as a country are a combination of different races, so i honestly don't see your 'problem'

Each to their own though

I'm not talking about body odour. I'm talking about the general cleanliness and state of it. I'm not germ freak but I did my best not to touch anything on the Paris metro, it was grim.

And do you talk to your family in that "pingu" language the whole time you're there? Once again, I thought not.

Don't be a tool.

London is like the middle of Yorkshire compared to Tokyo. The people density there is just amazing.

You beat people up because they are bald?? And they look at someone?

Jesus.

To clarify, we're not purely talking about tourists here. The key is that London has a ridiculously high amount of foreigners living here / seeking refuge and the like.

If you think Paris Metro was grim the New York "subway" is shocking..got off after one stop and just walked the rest.

The tube system is definitely one of the best out there, I mean heck it's the oldest of it's kind

No, I wanted to beat him up because he had a problem with myself and my girlfriend being in a mixed race relationship. The fact that he was bald was a reflection of the person he was, a racist skin head.

Right, so even when they're not engaging with you, as long as they aren't on holiday, they should be speaking English? More and more stupid.

I see what you are and why you call members here kindergarten names.
You're very insecure and you have a inferiority complex. Now we know

Hah, I do, I want to be bald!

lol, chip on your shoulder there - I doubt anyone cares that you're in a "mixed race relationship". Why you feel the need to define it as such is bizarre.

So skin heads are generally racist? :eek:

And looking at someone can be determined to be racist? :eek:

Oh, surprise, lets play the RACIST! card.

Well, you need to have been there. That was his issue as far as I could ascertain. The only people that actually seem to have a problem with me are these white racist guys, and old Indians. I don't understand what their problems are.

If it helps you, he looked somewhat like this:

Nothing, it was a joke.
