You seriously think people aren't denied jobs because of their skin colour? Wow! I'm not saying it should happen or that people openly advertise the fact, but it absolutely does happen. Someone calls me a pommy and it means bugger all to me, it's not associated with any discrimination me or my ancestors have suffered. I've never had it shouted across the street at me, no one has ever attacked me or anyone I've ever met for being White British. That's not the same as insults about being Polynesian, black etc. Pretty much everyone from those backgrounds living here has been through that kind of thing. That's the difference.

Besides all that, I've never heard anyone try to use white or pommy as an insult anyway. I've heard lots of people bring it up when they try to claim we have it just as bad, but I've never actually seen it happen, despite being white and spending a lot of time around antipodeans through rugby.

Judging by the number of Black and Asian people you now see in employment, they are not doing to bad and time they stopped playing the racist card and accepted that it should be the best person for a job irrespective of colour or religion etc.

As for calling other people names, I heard far worse during the time I worked on the shop floor, but unlike the Hull player, it was kept on the shop floor and sorted out without winging to the Manager/Foreman and in the case of spot, the Referee.

Thanks to the PC Brigade, you now cannot say boo to a goose with living in a state of fear of ending up being arrested and ending up in court.

Certain posters have been quiet for a while
Combination of the team winning (its amazing how certain posters post 100xmore when the team loses) and nothing controversial to latch onto

And as for saying "i knew it would get you to pop up", interesting.
Would love to know if certain posters actually believe what they're writing or if they're writing it because they are trying to get a rise out of people.

These days you get arrested & thrown in jail if you say you're English.

It has been quiet from some posters for a while now, its to be expected that the resident racist would be unable to resist this topic
