Why are the british so rascist?

[legend758duo]

Following on from some previous posts about foreigners with rucksacks and jews and muslims im wondering why are the british so rascist?
Britain was behind slavery,persecutionj of the jews,crusading against the muslims in the 13th century,we ruled india and pakistan and australia and treated the indigenous population like second class citizens.
Why are the british like this?
Afterall look around yopu and ask is this such a great place that we can judge others?A country of workshy chavs who would rather drink and do drugs than an honest days work.I think we are a country in decline still living on the memories of the british empire.

arrogance and head up backside syndrome believing they still rule the world therefore everyone else is inferior, when in reality they are probably the most unpopular nation on earth

Give it up legend, please, please.

I'm British, and not as you describe. In fact I wasn't around during the slavery years (or the time when Britain moved to abolish slavery).

I have worked alongside Muslims & Jews..not that their religions were at the forefront of my mind at all.

Not quite sure where you are going with this, legend ~ none of us made the decisions you speak of!

We NEVER ruled Pakistan.

Pakistan was "created" after the dissolution of India and oppressive British rule.

You also have to ask whether we are any worse than any other country..the USA (mass slaughter of natives, lavery in the South and still continued racism).

Australia? racism towards aborigines and Japanese (or Asians, as they call them).

"Britain was behind slavery"

WRONG - that was the Americans

"persecution of the jews"

WRONG - that was the Germans , Russians and the Romans

"we ruled india and pakistan"

WRONG - Pakistan did not exist during British Rule

Wiki is your (only) friend.

they are inherent traits found in the english.
it also amuses me how u say none of us made the decisions.none of the germans did either.but they still get grief over hitler.i believe britain slaughtered over a million aborigines too.
so we could turn australia into a jail.
the jew reference was because someone was saying about jews then hitler was mentioned.
in fact its only been legal to be a jew in england since 1698.
strange eh in the land of democracy dont you think??

chronic when it comes to penalty shoot outs as well, how i laugh :)

Get it right legend, wasn't it the Africans that sold the slaves ? and if you look in your history books a lot of Welsh were slave masters not all were English, i think you are Rascist against the English, you never mention the Scots.

Wasn't all the slave issues in Bristol ruled by the Welsh, Uncle Raymondo? (Sorry Arnold got zapped!!)

[Pippa68]

English or British, legend? please be clear on that ;o)

Do the Germans still get grief over Hitler? I would have thought they get more grief over the footie, to be honest. Generations have passed since the war, and most of the younger generation don't have a problem with German people.

Only been legal to be a Jew on our island since 1698..crikey, how many of us remember that wonderful year?

Then fact of the matter is that we know longer have slavery (not in THAT sense anyway ;o) we no longer take over countries as our own, and none of us were around when it was happening anyway.

Hi wardy yes it was, The Welsh were very involved in the slavery trade

[Bazzdude2112]
