I hope whoever sent this letter is dealt with severely and made an example of

Such a coward to type it out but I’m sure there’ll be ways and means of tracking this vile person down , I hope so

confused of AB here. italians and romanians are - in the main - white caucasians, just as the larger population of people in the UK is.

does racism now mean xenophobia?

[Ringlet]

Regardless of the nit-picking between the terms "racism" and "xenophobia" - by either name, the contents of this letter are appalling.
Sadly, this kind of attitude is still common, although it has gone "underground" because of the racist and hate speech laws.
I agree, the author of this letter should feel the full force of punishment.

i never said it wasn't. the report though does use lazy labelling.

I think the level of spelling and grammar of the letter says a lot about the intelligence of it's author.

[Bobbisox1]

NTK, you so remind me of a certain cretinous person
Mmmmmm, now let me think , haha

[Bobbisox1]

Yes it does Mozz, I agree

[nescio]

"it's" Mozz? Oh, the irony!

[Mozz71]

This sort of thing happens the World over and even within countries. Look at what the Welsh did to people cottages.

It's one sour git (who probably couldnt get a gp appointment). Making a fuss on social media has probably fuelled the person on to do more. Best ignored.

[Bobbisox1]

It happened to us in Wales ymb, my Dad lived on Anglesey and when we visited many years ago ,those that were speaking English in the pub suddenly started speaking their native Welsh around us

[youngmafbog]

Burn your cottage too?

[Bobbisox1]

Nahhh, left my Dad’s intact as well, they must have liked him :0)

[david small]

It’s the same the whole world over. Don’t get your panties in a bunch. Incidentally, apparently us whites’ smell of wet chicken.

[Bobbisox1]

Doesn’t stop discussing it David, does it?
Well maybe it does , sighhhhhh , lol

// italians and romanians // - are they a different race?

Strong Latin colony ( you know where Ovid wrote Tristia ( trees-tear - tears real tears) and letters from Pontus ( ex ponto - silly! ) and the langugage is close to - er Italian.

For those who dont know where Romania ( or Pontus!) is[ about 90% of AB that is!] - it is north ( norf) of Bulgaria which has a slavic language

strange but true

pp//// italians and romanians // - are they a different race?//
If you had bothered to read my poat at 09.48 you would know that nationality is covered in the offence of racism.

Maybe if you'd put a source, danny. Your post just looks like your opinion (except for a couple of random forward-slashes)
