[QUOTE=Jackald;50600746]I got told by some burly man in Tesco's to fuck off back to Romania because I was wearing "some fucking foreign shite" on my t-shirt. This was the t-shirt in question: Also i'm white as fuck and speak with a Buckinghamshire accent, I genuinely have no idea how he thought I was even foreign in the first place.[/QUOTE] I'm as much of a fan of TTGL as anyone else but why in public
[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;50601505]I'm as much of a fan of TTGL as anyone else but why in public[/QUOTE] That shirt looks boss why wouldn't you wear it in public
[QUOTE=Conscript;50601325]what about national self-determination and native workers? especially young or blue collar ones[/QUOTE] oh yeah nothing better than being an isolationist hate-filled xenophobe hating those who happen to come from beyond an arbitrarily drawn geographic line
[QUOTE=CruelAddict;50601280]Thats roughly 1.48 hitler. Nothing too impossible.[/QUOTE] Wait what? What measurement of Hitler are you using? Generally people convert 6 million people to one Hitler so the correct measurement would be 2.83 Hitlers.
[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;50601505]I'm as much of a fan of TTGL as anyone else but why in public[/QUOTE] Unless it's Yoko "Oh No" I see no problem with wearing a TTGL shirt in public, or any other anime shirt that isn't from a ecchi comedy or Kill la Kill. Seriously, fuck this racist garbage. What happened to that "Smile and Rainbows" UK that I saw when traveling around Southern Europe?
[QUOTE=Dr. Ethan Asia;50600680][IMG]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ClzR3azWYAASWOy.jpg[/IMG] That's the haircut of a politically savvy and worldly gent[/QUOTE] Bet he says "FAKING TOSSAH"
[QUOTE=TornadoAP;50601684]Wait what? What measurement of Hitler are you using? Generally people convert 6 million people to one Hitler so the correct measurement would be 2.83 Hitlers.[/QUOTE] But 11 million people were executed. It's sad that people think only Jews were killed when the number of non-Jews is nearly as much.
I'll have to check the referendum results map to see which areas that voted leave for my next trip to the UK
Had an incident near where I live where Polish residents had cards saying "Leave the EU, No more Polish vermin" with a google translate into polish on the other side left on doorsteps, on cars and in gardens. What makes it worse is the people on social media claiming it's all a false flag by the evil, butthurt Remain voters to besmirch the good name of the poor, innocent Brexiteers
Maybe I've been in the north of Scotland too long these days, but whenever I visit home in the Borders and take a wee jaunt over into England it never fails to amuse me how many people these days ask "That's not a local accent, where are you from?", sort of half curious but half accusatory. Have to remind myself next time to do my best Geordie so I'm not flogged in the street for being a Canadian or something.
So who is arguing again that people voted for this out of completely legitimate criticism of the EU? [editline]27th June 2016[/editline] [media]https://twitter.com/ShulemStern/status/746287583462854656[/media]
[QUOTE=Killuah;50603224] [media]https://twitter.com/ShulemStern/status/746287583462854656[/media][/QUOTE] Can anyone confirm if there's a correlation between how middle aged & bald you are against how racist you are?
Are we now suggesting that the 17 million leave voters are racist extremists? Are there any sources to support this?
[QUOTE=IAreLegend;50603294]Can anyone confirm if there's a correlation between how middle aged & bald you are against how racist you are?[/QUOTE] It is quite common for middle aged men to go baldning, and when that happens many choose to shave their heads. Are you saying there is a correlation between baldning and racism? Is hair literal tolerance?
[QUOTE=karlosfandango;50603323]Are we now suggesting that the 17 million leave voters are racist extremists? Are there any sources to support this?[/QUOTE] Leave people aren't all racist but their decision has, in the racist's eyes, legitimised xenophobia and racism. I think most leave people just wanted to take a stab at the establishment and didn't really know enough about it to make an informed decision (that being that leave will give more power to the shitty establishment in the UK who for years have been pushing austerity and caused many to be without jobs, lower quality healthcare and education).

[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;50603396][media]https://twitter.com/drmaliabbasi/status/746987198914887680[/media] WOW[/QUOTE] Lol clueless idiots not even knowing what they voted for. It's like they can't even read! Boris and Michael "britain is tired of experts" Gove should be proud to be leading the stupid half of the population.

[QUOTE=mdeceiver79;50603406]Lol clueless idiots not even knowing what they voted for. It's like they can't even read![/QUOTE] To these people reading, information and facts are for knobs. Braindead masculinity and "Saying it like how it is" is king
[QUOTE=karlosfandango;50603442]Wow Because this tweet proves that all leave voters are racist?[/QUOTE] Nope doesn't prove that but it proves many of them voted for something not fully understanding what they were voting for. Can I ask what is your reason for supporting leave and did you vote?

I'm in tears laughing right now imagining this pasty white kid going "whuh...?" while this angry looking man with a silly goddamn accent tells him to "fuck off to Romania." Like even in the most sister-fucking forgotten nowhere parts of Appalachia this shit doesn't happen.

[QUOTE=Killuah;50603531]I think you should get out more[/QUOTE]lmao yes I am aware of racism in my own country, Killuah. Would you get off my nuts? I was enjoying the humorous mental image of some mouth-breather telling an [I]obviously British guy[/I] (well, in my head he is) to "go back to Romania" and enjoying the irony of that. Looks like that's ruined, I guess laughing is verboten.
[QUOTE=Killuah;50603531]I think you should get out more [/QUOTE] That police 1 is awful. Bad enough when a "normal" person is racist but a cop being an asshole like that. Blatant power abuse. "you're not important enough" That said I think JumpinJack has a point sorta (maybe im reading too much into it though). Racism/xenophobia in the US is directed mainly towards people with different colour skin (or jews to some extent). Xenophobia in the UK seems to be directed toward anybody whos not British (or indeed english). I'd say its 2 factors. 1 white american heritage is varied so an irish american is as american as a german american or english american. 2 eastern europeans have long been targetted and identified as the cause of britains problems - anybody remember those state run 'racist vans' which told people to go home, it cost millions of pounds and resulted nobody actually going home. I don't know enough about discrimination in the US to have much of a valid opinion though.
