Isabelle Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I agree that politicians have played a big part in this with their dog whistle politics. If it filters down into schools, that's an extra level of despair, as it sets the future. It can set the country back decades, IMO. The saddest thing is, that kids aren't naturally bigoted, they are just repeating what their parents are saying at home. We should be raising our children to be accepting of difference. That is the only way we will change the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be raising our children to be accepting of difference. That is the only way we will change the future. That is sad but sadder still is adults repeating what our dodgy politicians and media are saying to them. Until adults get a grip of this there is no hope for the kids. A lot of people don't think for themselves, they just respond to the dog whistles. They are instructed to get angry so they get angry. Quite often they don't really know why.

hauxwell Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Where I have moved to, a new estate, there are a few polish families and all I have noticed is neighbours behaving exactly the same, shouting good morning to each other, children from both English and polish parents playing together. Nothing has changed here with regards to the Brexit Win. Are you sure the media are not exaggerating, or tying to create stories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle-82 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 This is a genuine question so apologies if it sounds silly!! There has been a lot of talk about 'racism' surrounding the brexit and a lot of eastern europeans are apparently getting the worst of it.. Aren't eastern europeans predominately caucasian? Shouldn't the correct terminology be 'prejudice' and not 'racist'? To be clear, i am in no way condoning any such acts, it's abhorrent and there is no place for it!

Anna B Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I honestly thought that stuff like this was a thing of the past. There's absolutely no excuses for racism raising its ugly head again. I can only apolagise for the ignorant fools. We're better than that, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Reported racist crimes are up 60% since the referendum, and there are so many more that are going unreported. So, no, we're clearly not better than that. The exit vote has legitimatised this behaviour (or so they feel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
