Maybe being mixed-race I do tend to read more or analyse what people say in a way others might not, but I have definitely heard & read things about Khan that I consider racist. I would also say Fenster that you should take it as a good sign you don't know anyone who's racist about Khan, it just means you keep good company

Of course there are millions of racists in London. Ive heard/known many - from all walks of life. And of course people will hate on Khan because he's a "paki."
I've never heard anyone slag Khan because he's a Muslim or has Pakistani roots. I'm giving my own personal experience. Just because someone hears racist comments aimed at Khan in a pub, or reads them on a Brit forum, doesn't mean the whole of the UK shares those beliefs.
We're dealing with small groups NOT the majority. As some naive/ignorant people would have you believe
