A white pupil was battered with a hammer at a school where politically correct teachers were afraid to deal with racial tensions, the High Court heard yesterday...

I second the motion.
That’s what I’m thinking.
Nonsense. It’s bush’s fault... /s
No its nothing to do with that. It’s a legacy of Britain’s colonial history. “Asian” in Britain means “someone from the indian sub-continent”.
What in the USA are called asians are known as orientals in the UK.
Exactly as you say.
Ahh, I see. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I’ve always said that the U.S. and the U.K. are two countries separated by a common language.
Pakistani kids and pakistani’s have been doing this for years and getting away with it.
It is time it stopped but alas I think it will not but will probably get worse.
These pakistani parents don’t care unless whites go after their corner shops because they want to force as many white kids and folks as possible . That way these pakistani parents can buy up the houses and then give them out to their own pakistani family when they come over.
it’s stupid too.
I’m from there and we say Paki short for Pakistani, but the left now have declared that the term is racist.
course the idiots have no problem with any other abbreviation for anyone else in the world, i.e. Aussie, Afghan, Brit
no we always reffered to them as paki’s even when I was a kid.
It is now PC to call them Asian thus lumping an entire continent together even though they do not look the same.
That show how ignorant the left is and are.
Far as I am concerned and everyone I know in Salford then they still are Paki’s, we say Brits do we not, we say Afghans do we not ?
yes we do so I and other refer to them of what they are.
Paki’s.
What is amazing how folks in England fall into line with the BBC/guardian PC crap.
They were NEVER referred to as “Pakis” on the national media. Ever. Pakistanis occsionally. Anyway, “Asian” is a better coverall term, as it includes Indian, Sikhs etc.
Asian is the usual term for Pakistani and Indian muslims in England. That area is in western Asia.
There is nothing unusual about the use of the word in England.
Ya, they’re Asian all right...
er they WAS AND ARE reffered to that many many times by everyone.
Not sure how old you are or where you come from but I am telling you that in my school and around our way in salford and Manc we all said paki in the 80’s and 70’s
even today I hear it a lot
to say it is racist is pathetic.
would Afghan be racist
, how aout Tajik, Kurd?
they all end in stan
Pakistan.
Pushtun
Afghan
Kashmiri
Stan mean the land of and the I was added during the Brit empire as it was easier to include to say.
you want to fall for the PC BCC Guardian crap then by all means but it does not mean we all have to fall for it.
My wife says Paki all the time but where she comes form it mean package store, so when she says I’m off to the pakis it means for her to go to the corner shop and no there are no pakis there
NO Asian mean s the entire continent of ASIA which is wrong as it lumps all the continent into one regardless of what they look .
For example the police say they are looking for an Asian.
OK is he chinese, Thai,Indian.
you have no idea what so ever if you heard that out of the PC UK and neither would anyone else.
very true
The UK had no problem calling them pakis short of pakistani’s but some white left wing kooks said it was not nice and the immigrants heard this and jumped on it.
In a few years the term for them will be something other than Asian .
Anyway like I said in another thread those who group an entire country together are the ones showing their ignorance.
When the police or victim describes the attacker they should be describing the person not going by PC crap.
sadly many in the UK fall for this PC and some cannot see it in any way shape of form because of their ignorance
I think I said on the national media, not out on the streets.
never saw you mention the media on your post to me
Post #30....the one that you replied to.
See the growth of such groups as the “Aryan Brotherhood”, “Nazi Low riders”.
