Red's Thread of General Bigotry

[Punk]

Here's a truth which some will call me racist and bigot for daring to share.

Anyone see Anglo Indian comedian Romesh Ranganathan's filmed trip to Albania which he says was to find out if our preconceptions of Albanians stood up to scrutiny and because Michael Palin and Sue Perkins had done everywhere else?

On his first visit to Tirana the capital he asked people if it was true that Albania had vicious gangs who might kill or kidnap him? He was told that Albania was almost crime free now as all the gangs went to the UK during the Kosovan crisis, which sounds like a joke but it wasn't.

A famous (in Albania) journalist and presenter of her own TV show welcomed him onto her show and offered to show him the country and to meet it's people.

She said he was in no danger whilst in Albania and although it was true that much of the gang crime migrated to the UK by virtue of the fact that they claimed to be Kosovan refugees fleeing war, they were in fact Albanians. She then went on to blame the UK government for that because they never checked the nationality or status of those claiming to be Kosovan, they just let them into your country on their word.

So next time I tell you this country is infested with Alabanian pickpocket, drug and people trafficking gangs, it's not a figment of my imagination or a racist rant, it's simply the truth which some find unpleasant to the ear.

Yep. Every single Albanian criminal upped and moved to the UK. I trip over them when I walk down the street, so infested we are.

Bloody NotKosovan refugees

Yes, not a as wild as you think from a country which had at the time of and following the Kosovo crisis, a population of a little over 3.3million. It's interesting to note that after that time the population dropped by almost half a million.

Foreign gangs tend to congregate in and around the capital cities of those countries they invade, which is why they might not be as noticable in the provinces.

We have not been invaded. Why use the racist rhetoric?

So it is about skin colour then, as I said. I told you, some white people have naturally red or pink skin so it's racist and offensive to them.

Members of any race can become indignant, or can be thick, or can be racist. Gammon can be applied to any race irrespective of skin colour.

Is the well-worn phrase "to see red" racist?

You mean a black person can be a gammon?

[Raggamuffin]

Good god, gammons are actual snowflakes!

Racist!

"Grilled gammon" if you want it to have a racist connotation.

Minorities are victims of racism.

Still no sense from you.

Are you denying that ethnic minorities have never faced racist attacks in the UK?

[Trapper John]

Young white people or just any young person? "Gammon" is clearly referring to the colour of skin, but is "snowflake"?

No it is not - and repeating it ad nauseam does not make it so.

It's a derogatory term aimed at a group of people, therefore it's offensive to some or all of them and should be treated just as racism is treated, isn't that the essence of racism - picking on a group of people because 'they are different to you'?

Is the well-worn phrase "to see red" racist?

Is 'to see red' a recognised derogatory term? if not then no. Of course we all know that 'gammon' doesn't mean 'to see red' at all.

So you are basing it on skin colour then. It's offensive to those who have a naturally reddish complexion, don't you agree?

Not to me it's not - but then nor is gammon. In fact I can't understand why you gammons see red about it at all.

Naturally reddish people who are not thick and racist are not gammons so your logic is flawed.

[NastyNickers]

All this gammon talk.
I’m marvin’

So find a different name for those thick, racist people, and stop picking on those who have a naturally reddish skin.

[Stooo]

Racist!

Towards people who have tanties over my views?

Anyone can find my details and report me to https://www.gov.uk/report-hate-crime
