Work colleague from Bangladesh just uttered the immortal line: "I'm not a racist but..." followed by "black people are monkeys". 😯

I've quite often found sub-continent folk to be particularily racist to be honest, even against their own people (though different caste/ethnic minority etc)...

I'm not racist, but...
Am I supposed to assume that everyone from Bangladesh is brown ?

I'm not racist, but people from the Indian subcontinent come from an inherently racist and classist culture and think that Europeans are uncultured barbarians.

It's shocking Woppit - who would have thought that Bangladeshi people could be [i]just[/i] like us, and also be bigoted ?

It seems to me that colour of skin doesn't make much difference after all ! Thank you for drawing that to my attention Woppit.

BTW were you as shocked as I am ?

So why did you post a thread about it then ?

TBH only racist white people think only white people are racists.
