Your question was dumb in the first place because one can just as easily ask the same about any other country in the world but countries cannot be generalized like that. On top of that colonialism is the pinnacle of racism so you might want to start questioning your country (England) first; who are the masters of racism... even today in Iraq and Afghanistan.


Wrong again. I'm not English... and you do have a problem answering don't you?

Are you racist GR? -

I'm elitist and that is prejudice but not racist.

what do YOU think of the Pontians??

I think some are a troubled lot.


And how does this manifest itself GR? :wink:


nice reply stuart ...he is elitst when he plays computer games ...dum nerd anyway back to the real world let us not detract from why many brits are leaving the U.K ETC

WHAT IS The reason 1000s of brits are leaving the U.k ,.READ THE INTERVIEWS AND ARTICLES AND IT IS NOT JUST SUNSHINE BRITS WANT IT IS SAEFTY FOR THEIR KIDS AND TO GET AWAY FROM THE ROUGHT HORRIDE IMMIGRANTS COMING OVER TO THE U,K
IS THIS NOT THE SAME ARE THEY NOT XENOPHOBIC ?

..HERE IN CYPRUS I KNOW OF 4 BRITISH FAMILIES WHO CAME HERE TO ESCAPE PAKIS IN MANCHESTER AS THEY PUT IT ...

..everybody is no matter what nationality ..somebody somewhere does not like you

in Britain where i lived too SOME YEARS AGO ...day in day out the national papers printED stories on how many refugees are coming over to britain .."THEIR MUCKY WAYS SHOUTS THE STANDARD/DAILY MAIL " ON A ARTICLE REGARDING POLISH IMMIGRANTS

NATIONALISM AND FACISM IS ON THE RISE IN EUROPE AND THE U.K AND CYPRUS ARE NOT THE SAME STUART ...TELL THE TRUTH ...Britain has far more racist incidents..from the treatment of Blacks to wave of anti polish propaganda in the daily papers ..

It is not your right nor ours to judge ....stuart i now live in cyprus ..i open my arms to everyone .. i miss miss the ethnic social groups of britain ,west indians ,chinese etc ...and i admit there was times when i lableled the polish and albainians immigrants scum ...that is my choice because i did nto like their ways ,personal experiences make us racist or sexist or ageist ...yes its wrong but so what ..show me someone who doesnt have a fault ...you live in brighton ,full of gays your area is how a old guy discribed the area to me ...so what ,,am i suppose to batter him and label him homophobic ....

so dont come on the forum to point the finger mate ...look in the mirror first ....and look around you ...Britain is one of the least tolerant places in the world after the U.S

maybe they do the same back

always remember ..same way we judge others they judge you

and 2 ...just because you believe you are civilised ...does not mean you are !!!


Jolly sound reply Oranos - and I'll be the first to agree that the Brits have their problems with racism (and to an extent, homophobia). I was lucky enough to live in probably of the most tolerant city in the UK - the real problem was the Chav mentality of a minority.

To my mind, unless one is an exceptional individual (GR excluded :lol: ) it is VERY difficult not to bring deep rooted preconceptions into ones attitudes towards other ethnic groups. However , that shouldn't prevent one from TRYING to relate on an equal footing.

Perhaps DT is right - the question is loaded - maybe if I asked 'How racist are GC's?' it would have been fairer.

How racist are GC's? Some are a lot and some not at all
Are they more racist on average from any other european country? Probably not.
Is this question loaded? Probably Yes.

I agree with Phoenix, the fact that you are bunching up all GC's and trying to make a generalised statement about them is racist on its own!

nothing personal its just that i have a problem with English people.. :lol:
