- barking 14y agoI was once accused of being prejudiced by a british asian after we fell out over some business. Prior to that this person had boasted to me about how despite their family having lived in Trinidad for generations there was 'not one drop of mixed blood' in their family
- anu_gupta 14y ago@barking. So what? Honestly, so what? Are you trying to say that even by the standards of other prejudiced people you come across as prejudiced? Or perhaps you're implying that one act of prejudice by someone from a "minority" means that it's open season on all minorities?
- barking 14y agoMaybe people are more likely to perceive the behaviour of others towards them as racist, if they are racist themselves? That perhaps the accuser should be looked at as critically as the accused.
- Anechoic 14y agoMaybe people are more likely to perceive the behaviour of others towards them as racist, if they are racist themselves? Really? The "I know you are, but what am I" defense?
- barking 14y agoOK I had to look that up to understand what you meant (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=i%20know%20you%20are%20but%20what%20am%20i%3F http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=i%20know%20yo...). You're suggesting that my previous response is a total fail. At the risk of my appearing to be totally thick, can I ask you to explain why?
- indy 14y agoI brought up my race to show sergiotapia that I too was in a minority, not to imply that somehow being a british asian made me more trustworthy.
