Just dont go near a bank or post office, if you can find one.

Thing is, you never see a white guy employed at an Indian restaurant or takeaway. If they aren't taking our jobs and aren't discriminating against us then why is this the case?
I have seen all kinds working in those restaurants. Only the other day we ordered an Indian Takeaway and the guy behind the counter was white with a Brummie accent. Years ago a friend of mine worked in several foreign restaurants as a chef, he is White. Our local Turkish kebab shop has a French (white) chef as well.
Well that's great but by and large it just isn't the case and everybody knows it.

Castiel, I take it you didn't read my later posts. I made a specific distinction that people should not be covering their faces where there are security issues ie. you would not go into the bank wearing a balaclava, or a motorcycling helmet, or a burka. I'm in no way trying to say that people should never cover their faces, but it seems to me to be common sense that, in places where security is an issue, you shouldn't have your face covered. Nor did I suggest any legislation.
Wow, have you seen any Asians employed in a 'british' Fish and Chip shop?
If I owned my own shop, be it takeway / resturant, how is this taking your jobs?
Discriminating? Works both sides, the amount of time's i've heard and come across 'white' people treat asians is the pretty much same.
Anyway have these culprits been identified as Muslims yet?
The point is that why should it be unusual that an Indian restaurant is set up and run by predominantly Indians, that a French Restaurant is set up and run predominantly by the French, A Chinese Restaurant is run by Chinese, that an Italian Restaurant is...well you get the idea. The whole idea of an ethnic restaurant is the authenticity of the concept after all.
They are not taking your jobs...they are creating them. These restaurants, even if they employ only their family and relatives, they use suppliers and create demand for the economy as a whole and this benefits everyone.
And? Who cares. How do you know 'White' people want to work in a asian owned shop, do you know any 'white' friends who want to work at a asian restaurant?
I bet there are few Asians who want to progress higher / be with upper management folk in these big corporation companies but.....you know.

No no no.
I'd much rather be served my Dhal and rice by a spotty chav in a UKIP T-Shirt who is moaning about his employers stealing his job
No no no.

Mr Chu's (excellent) restaurant in Hull has mostly white british staff, with only a small minority actually being Chinese, even though that's the cuisine. I don't see what your problem is personally, as any job that pays and has security is better than being on the dole.
Do you extend this to scarfs, hoodies, hats, beards or anything that can be used to potentially obscure or cover your appearance.
Only where identitiy is a necessity (such as confirming identity during an exam or driving test, passport compliance etc) should such rules prohibit such things...you are suggesting banning the Burka, not removing it in certain situations. And I routinely wear a hat/hoodie/scarf to the bank, particularly in very bad weather and have never been asked to remove it. I haven't robbed them either. I wore a balaclava last winter also....I didn't commit any crimes then either..it kept my face warm though.
Banning largely harmless things because something might happen through it's misuse is never really a good idea.
You stated that it should not be tolerated...how do you suggest we enforce such intolerance?

Banks that I've been in often request motorbike helmets, scarves and hoods be removed, I've even seen a biker be asked to remove his helmet in shops and supermarkets before. (Said biker was a friend of mine and it was an open face helm). The reasons given were security, so CCTV and staff could see ones face if required.
Whilst as you say they're largely harmless I can understand the logic behind their requests that they be removed.
Yes, we should ban Bieber's hats,
they are stupidly oversized and would certainly result in a violent punch to his face should any normal person pass him in the street.
I don't disagree, however that is some-way from banning them, I have never been asked to remove a scarf, hat or hood, either in a bank or shop..although I have been asked to remove a crash helmet, the cited reason was not one of whether they could see my face or not, only that the helmet could pose a risk as a weapon, I was asked to remove a cycle helmet for the same reason (I simply don't wear a cycle helmet at all now as it is too inconvenient). Each place should have a right to set their own policies however, and if they feel that face-coverings of any description pose a verifiable and reasonable risk then I would support their position...I do not support routinely banning items of clothing simply because they might be used in crime though...that is a slippery slope to authoritarianism.
