Looks like diversity is a one way street

Asian Vigilantes
by Barnie Choudhury
16 Aug 2005
www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/today/reports/archive/politics/oldham1.shtml
An investigation for Today has found disturbing evidence that Asian youths in parts of Oldham are trying to create no go areas for white people.

Last year the police investigated record levels of racist attacks in Oldham.Of the 572 cases, 60% turned out to be white victims.
Pakistanis make up the majority on the Glodwick estate just west of the town centre. Some youths speak the language of racial hatred. It's not clear whether this is bravado but their message is blunt... white people keep out.

Many openly admit to carrying out what they see as revenge attacks on white people as part of a tit-for-tat campaign.

One told us: "There are signs all around saying whites enter at your risk. It's a matter of revenge. It's about giving as good as you can take."

Another had a six-inch scar running across his head. He said he had been attacked by a white gang.

"I got slashed by some whites so that I'm totally racist. I don't like whites. It's like this now, we go to a white area and we get done over. It's like them coming here they get done over...it's for your own good."

This hardening in attitude is repeated across the town and has passed down to children as young as 10. Unlike their parents they will not tolerate being victims of racism.

Local white people are scared and many want to leave the estates but cannot.

"I was just walking with my dog around 10 at night and a group of Asian youths in their car, music blaring,threatening me like saying they'd kick me head in calling me white bastard, white scum. You're frightened," one person told me.

Many Asian youths say they take the law into their own hands because they have no confidence in the police.

The perception is that the police do not take racist attacks on Asian people as seriously as assualts on white residents.

Akbor Khan had his three front teeth smashed in a brutal attack by a white gang:

"I used to have a take away in Manchester. We used to get lots of people who used to order food but not pay for it. It used to take the police an hour to get there. We'd ring the police and they'd say we haven't got the manpower. But if it happened to white people they would be there in 10 minutes," he said.

Many Asian community leaders say the trouble is caused by a minority stoking up problems for the majority, who are law abiding residents.

They say they would happily support greater police action to clamp down on the trouble makers.

Greater Manchester Police deny the accusations levelled at them.

A special multi-agency task force has been set up in Oldham to tackle the growing number of racist attacks

Clearly the solution to this problem would be a White Pride Festival.

Some loud music, a little late-night beer binging, munching on some bangers and beans - shucks - the problem practically takes care of itself.

The ultimate cure for prejudice = more prejudice, right?

I've noticed the British media doing that a lot. The Middle East is part of Asia, so now they're calling arabs and muslims "asian" to keep from offending them or letting people know what assholes they can be.

If we could get rid of them AND the white power assholes, I'd be one happy dude.

Yah but that's disingenious.  It's like calling a Mexican an American.  I mean technically there from North America so you have a headline that read...."THOUSANDS OF ILLEGAL AMERICANS SNEAKING INTO AMERICA EVERY DAY". For the PC crowd it would totally mess up their vernacular.  Instead of Mexican-Americans, we'd have to say American-Americans.

Hardcore MUSLIM neighbourhood…

Yes, easterners are caled 'asians' here as most are Pakistani/Indian from the Asian Sub-Continent.

Well, you can see from my above post what WE consider to be Asians

Soooooooo, a muslim neighborhood POSTING SIGNS threatening people based on their skin color
some might even call that PROFILING, beating and stabbing people because of racial indicators
some might even call those HATE CRIMES, reminds me of the tolerant liberals here in the US

One of the staff in a local pub here got into a bit of a dispute with some people of Pacific Rim origin by referring to them as 'oriental'

Apparently this is something of a no-no in the US, but makes quite a handy distinction between those of the Far East of Asia, and anywhere else.

Hey, feel free to call yourself whatever you want.  It's a free country.  I know a lot of people from India though (I live close to Little India in Artesia on Pioneer St, if you're Indian you'll probably know what I'm talking about) and there are zero that would refer to themselves as Asian.  It might be becasue there is a huge population of Chinese and Koreans around here.

I worked with a pakistani, he was a lying no good lowlife thief and muslim
calling m easterners "Asian" is like calling illegals "immigrants"
it is misleading at best..............

this particular country is considered part of the m east
but, they are asian like russians and europeans are asian NOT

www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/as.htm
Middle East: Countries considered part of the Middle East are shown in a lighter shade of green,
and their names are indicated in red. They are all still part of the continent of Asia.
Taiwan is still considered by China to be its 23rd province, and not an independent country.
Very few other country governments accept China's claims of sovereignty over Taiwan.

Unfortunately for those who wish to retain the 'asian' title solely for themselves, the fact remains that Asia is a huge continent which is home to seveal peoples.

For an official US government point of view, the CIA factbook online lists Pakistan as 'Asia' and Iran as 'Middle East'
