Well aware of my post and just trying to emphasise that growing up in the UK was never a differential between the colour of the kids in our school class

Pity how we have all become over sensitive on issues between race, religion etc

Well said Dave..The wheel has gone full circle.
I think the UK is one of the most tolerant and diverse countries,you obviously get racism from some and from all ethnicities.The biggest problem we have is some people from certain religions not integrating in the western way of life..

If the UK is so tolerant, why did the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA), the Premier League and the Football Association (FA) deem it necessary to launch the Kick It Out campaign in the UK in 1993?

That's 25 years ago and apart from the odd incident it's been a major success..
Have a look at Eastern Europe,Ukraine,Russia and The Baltics.

India and Jordan are the two most racist countries on the planet according to a world survey..
The question was "Would you like a person of a different colour/race living next door to you"

All I am trying to say is that it is a sensitive issue, and should be treated as such.

Please don't put words in my mouth DTF. I am not insinuating anything. I was just highlighting a FACT that there are issues in the UK as well, as there are in almost every corner of the world.

DTF, we are all entitled to our own opinions, but we not entitled to our own facts.

I once did a one-day starting stalls handler job at Ascot racecourse, Bulawayo. My job then was to climb inside a starting stall gate and then to hold down the head of a difficult horse and to let go when the gates opened. That job was called the 'monkey' and I was called that.
