redruby Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Well, if it opens up positive discussion - good. I’m not convinced that this is best way of achieving that aim but time will tell. It does feel like discussion around race will always get closed down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I think its been lost in the article, but afro touching really should be a no-no I don’t care if you’re ‘fascinated’ by my afro, stop touching it https://metro.co.uk/2019/09/09/i-dont-care-if-youre-fascinated-by-my-afro-stop-touching-it-10708877/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 OMG. Someone at work asked if I like sushi. I didn't realise they were being racially discriminating. I thought they were trying to organise a work's dinner do and trying to decide a menu 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm beginning to wonder if this countrys gone mad, surely they don't go off like this in sensible countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm06 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 More boring news not applicable in the real world. Strangely enough I have asked my friend about Plantain before when I saw him cooking it and would you believe it we're still friends! You'll find people generally don't care about people questioning their cultures, in fact a lot of people will enjoy educating you on it. It's if you begin to criticise where it becomes an issue.

catmiss Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 According to this I’ve been guilty of/subjected to subtle racism most of my life as I and friends and acquaintances have asked each other about our beliefs, customs and practices. How can seeking information and understanding be seen as racist? I was once asked why I eat Yorkshire pudding and was stumped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
