I have never seen anyone called a "white bd" or for that case, I have never been called "p**i"
So your point is invalid.

You should get out more !

No I have never seen them before. I think they are from the council type area which is about half a mile from here.

I'm sorry OP but that comment is no better than the issue you have been complaining about in my opinion.

I was bought up on a council estate like many other folks in Great Britain. Although not in this modern era.
The vast majority of those people were kind hard working and thoughtfull.

The comment made to your son is out of order and in poor taste,just like your comment above.

Not directly but the referendum has legitimised racism to an extent in many people - it was a huge part of the leave campaign. There's distinctly more comfort in people remarking on non-white English people being of lesser value or being a problem.

As you were back on topic...

OP, where in Watford do you live? I live in the Cassiobury estate area and haven't experienced any racism of the sort around here for some time. My parents live on the other side of Watford and it hasn't been all bad there either. I've lived in Watford pretty much my whole life (sad, I know).

If you ever need a hand or just want to talk, give me a shout. PM me if you wish. I'm more than happy to help out a fellow Watfordistani.

No it's not

Chav is chav, council is quite another! Although you sometimes may get some chavs in some council estates you also have chavs in private housing estates and lovely people in council estates!

Good to see the OP has apologised for his offensive remark re council estates, but excusing it by saying that council is a nickname for chav took the edge off the apology. Shows how people can cause offence without meaning to, and how their prejudices can slip out in unguarded moments.

That's how I see racist comments. It can slip out of the mouths of anyone at some point. And I have been guilty in past.

But I also feel that I am a samaraten and would help anyone that was in need no matter what race of people they
descend from.

I don't think the OP meant it in a racist way.

Nor would I consider it "racist" other than on a thread discussing racism

[fido]

Reminds me .. one of my racist friends asked me if I fancy a Laksa Noodles this evening. I'm going to hammer some frozen sausages into his ghey Mini Cooper.

He didn't mean the comment was racist I believe, but that racist remarks were in the same category as the council remark the OP made.

I thought it was quite funny Joe playing the R card against people who voted for Brexit.

[Ahbefive]

So if any Asian/Black/oriental person ever asks me if I have any fish n chips, roast dinner or burgers then thats racism is it?

Err ok, think I get it. Quick police!!!

No thats just kids being tts and as said if you son was white and lanky/fat/ginger/wearing tight clothes/ had a st haircut/etc/etc he would have got it just the same.

As a kid I occasionally suffered from racism and I wore glasses - four-eyes! If I was smaller than my taunter or there were several of them I ran as fast as I could and never got caught. If they were smaller or the same size then I taught them a lesson. I wouldn't recommend it today but it worked for me then. Emotionally it was painful.
