As long as nobody criticizes Britain, right? Then it's off limits here. ...criticize to your hearts content ..as long as its True...as Souman wrote and he is spot on that nobody could be more critical than we are of our selves """Now the crux comes when certain people criticize Britain/Brits with false facts and accusations that are wrong""" You never criticize yourselves. That's the problem. |

again your making such a false assumption
we aknowledge the past and we Brits on this message board know of our past ....we certainly are not going to wear hair shirts and crawl on our knees to Compostello seeking some sort of redemption or have daily angst fests wearing ashes on our heads
we of today are not responsible for the past ..
our past is no more terrible than the pasts of other peoples and other countries...of course its not ..there isn't a people race or ethnic group or nationality of country on the planet that hasn't got a past...so why the obcession with our history...especially the mistruths
and judging yesterday by today is a most futile excersise..achieves absolutely nothing
I can only quote Soulman
"""Now the crux comes when certain people criticize Britain/Brits with false facts and accusations that are wrong"""

Such a non-story. A six-second outburst? Is that the best the DM can do? They obviously don't know Chinese people, haha  you and others have rather missed the point..its not about the Chinese or anyone else from any where else specifficly...its about... hype... and what passes for shocking and racism in the here and now ... even the poor mail got blamed..i mean how is the mail to blame ? for reporting ...the reality is it went/has gone viral my contention is its neither shocking nor racism...its one womans verbal opinion..its as simple as that.. the Americans are no more one race than the muslims are..so how can it be racist and last but no least.. its one in the eye for all those who are insistant that only whites[or if you prefer..a muddy grey] make remarks about other peoples of the planet its good to know the lady has an opinion and isn't afraid to voice it...is not cowed down by PC and the righton fog knitters and has the freedom to express an opinion |

mouse, in my opinion, you brought this thread in deliberately to start a hub bub.
This is an American - English board. Mind your manners.

Oh dear. The DM strikes again. If it were not shocking at all, the Mail would present it in such a way that their readers would either be shocked or agree. Very interesting .. but, no, not shocking. absolutely..its not shocking at all....what would be news is if every one were suddenly over come with peace and lurve but my reason for posting it was to show that racism[racism???]or what passes for racism these days exists..right across the planet regardless of nationalities or colour of skin gets it into perspective It isn't "racism", it's ignorance. I agree with Dex .. no good discussion for a multi-cultural site. |

That's the problem. Yes they do, Ariel. They are actually more critical of the U. K. than of our country. |

lololol You *would* say that. If you want to dig through dozens of threads and hundreds of posts, help yourself. No way am I going to get into that. Just take my word ... or don't. |

Fact is if anyone had shouted "we hate the British" no one would have batted an eyelid not even the Daily Mail. Plenty of people hate the British, like Ariel, for example. It's water off a duck's back. Meh.... a lot of people don't like Americans. |

""""no good discussion for a multi-cultural site""""well I obviously disagree with both you and Dex..as it shows how empty so many cries of racism are but I will reiterate...I posted in good faith with no intent to cause Hub Bub or lack of manners good or otherwise I have to side with Mouse....it was an interesting article to post. I've seen plenty of articles in the Daily Mail where some subject of England went off on blacks, muslims or foreigners....as people fall under more stress, this is going to happen. |
