Of course anyone can be racist.. Duh. And you don't see much racism because you live in a country that is not very racially diverse. I don't want you to be racist Miles you just keep making incredibly hard not to draw those conclusions.

So, what is this incredible racism going on down there in Plymouth?

I don't really mind if anyone thinks I am racist or not. I am quite comfortable with my mindset and know that I am not. However, I will defend science unless it can be proven wrong. I am not a flat earther type. In saying that though you treat everybody as an individual and accept that not everyone is the worst of any group and most are somewhere in the middle or rather good. It's human nature.

'You don't half know how to manufacture argument. Have I once ever in the history of Saddos mentioned the city you live in. Give it a rest. Anyone would think Brock was prompting you by Pm.

You are the one who brought up racism and I am just wondering what kind of racism you are experiencing. The worst for me was a little girl calling me Pinnochio one time for being white and not having a flat nose. Oh, and one time being turned away from a nightclub when I was about 25, but I went there plenty of other times. In fact it is opposite racism at one bar I know. Koreans have to pay to get in but foreigners get in free. I find that strange, but what can you do. Also, there is a thing where mixed race couples can get good rates of interest above what Korean couples can get, but it discriminates against you if the foreigner is male. So, it is a mixed bag. But certainly not treated worse than the locals really.

I have a group of indian friends I meet up with a couple of times a year.

We always go for a curry usually to a new restaurant we've not tried before in Bradford / Leeds area.

In a couple of restaurants the past year or so they get some of their food served differently (tikka starters on skewers for non-Indians in one restaurant which was odd) and they usually get offered apna style dishes by the waiter whereas me and the Mrs don't unless we ask.

I always get offended and cry all the way home.......

Miles, I understand why you think comparing humans with animals is harmless fun (nothing to get upset about), however, throughout our history the comparison between black people and monkey's has been done in a derogatory manner, and still to this day we have evidence of black footballers getting bananas lobbed at them.

I despise this current victimhood culture, where everyone is OWED something, however, in this instance only black people have the right to explain why they're offended, as we quite simply have never experienced it.

Donald Trump knows what it is like. How is it different for him? True that there are historical connotations, but words only have power if you let them control you. It is in this context that I am no longer controlled by the 'cunt' and have thus become all powerful. Nothing bothers me anymore and that is because words are nothing unless you give them more meaning than they are worth.

Obama knows what it's like not Trump.

Unfortunately, like Trump, I don't think your own personal experience of accepting the "cunt" moniker will inspire millions of black people to stop getting offended.

Black people have largely reduced the N word by using it constantly among themselves. It is by constantly getting upset by words that they maintain power. I am certainly not telling black people how they should feel, but the victim culture surely gets boring sometimes.

Wait, in evolution aren’t we all monkeys or apes, seems moot to me

I don't believe for a second Danny Baker didn't understand his joke was "controversial", however, he arrogantly thought nobody would consider him racist because he's Danny Baker, man of the people, he used to protest the National Front at Millwall.

And, for the record, from my own personal experience Asian's (Pakistani/Indian)/Turks/Greeks/Arabs are the most racist towards black people i've ever come across. Shocking stereotypes.
