This is a good summary:

1. You imply racism has a static or agreed upon definition; when in reality it is constantly in flux and its meaning is at best culturally relative.

2. The notion that personal prejudices somehow equates to institutional racism.

You would think if people on the subway when they see somebody whip out their i-pod to record an incident they would had enough decency to hush up, and put down the news papers and what not, and wtf is up with the guy and the orange bags, get out of the way some serious **** is going down and your blocking the veiw. What up wit dat?

But didn't she say her boyfriend was black, and she gets pegged as a racist? When he press her whether she was black or not, she said it didn't matter and her before accepted her the way she dresses. It seem if he was instagating the whole thing, complaining how she dress then at one point slams Americans something about their antiques, clearly he is the bad guy. I think they got it wrong he is the bigotted anti-American misogynist. I don't know it spun around on her, it seem like the whole time it was just him at her constantly at her, picking on her and how she dresses, punches her calls her a bitch and then calls her an escort, (and I don't think he meant a Ford either) and after he gets his punches in quickly turn sissy after the altercation.
To be fair I usually find that the first thing a racist will say to defend themselves is "I have black friends" or in this case a boyfriend. My friends and I often joke with each other about that being a classic line that racists always use.

It is not how you treat those you love or care for, it is how you treat those you don't know and/or dislike, that is the real acid test.

I don't know if this woman is genuinely racist, or him for that matter, I just don't think having a black boyfriend would make a difference.

I don't think you can call him a misogynist based off that video either. A childish hothead who needs to learn to control himself maybe, but not a misogynist.

Just my opinion

I watch the video and really couldn't hear much, but what I heard was the guy picking on her. I don't see why she should be called a racist, for being a victim of his beratement? He was the complaining about how she dressed, and at the end called he a bitch and a escort. I am assuming he was the one who was throwing the punches too, not a freind of his or a by-stander. After she was insulted and assualted he was the one crying for a barrister and witnesses. I don't know what the catalyst was to the argument proabably over nothing, and it obviously escalated. But in the beginning of it he should keep on keeping on and mind his own business.

I've not implied any of the above, what I have implied though, is that certain people here over the years have made negative remarks about a person or people in sweeping generalisations, without really be aware of their actions. Let's just call it a lack of education and respect for their fellow human being rather than a genuine hatred.

Any reason why somebody should be called a black idiot instead of just an idiot? An idiot's an idot regardless of their cultural identity, so why even bring the cultural element into the issue.

It's now become socially unacceptable for people to discriminate on race or colour here and to make discriminatory remarks, so unless somebody has been living under a rock here they should be aware of this.

If I look at your second point, that's very much stagnation of a society in action, because it allows these personal prejudices to fester and go unchecked. It also depends on how you see the role of society as well.

"Smelly Nigerians"

"I dress poor so I don't get robbed by people like you"



Once she said those, she's fair game in terms of verbal abuse imo. She wasn't a victim until she made herself a victim with the above comments tbh. Can't talk to someone like that and expect to get away with it.

- They get on the tube
- She claims he stepped on her foot
- Argument commences
- She makes an arguably racist comment
- He returns one
- He claims she threw a bottle at him
- Punches are thrown

Well, what really needs to be done throughout Europe to effectively address the situation is to shut down the mass immigration policies, and ship all of the Africans and Arabs back to their countries of origin as soon as possible. Mass immigration is absolutely destroying most of our beautiful Northern and Western European nations within a very, very short period of time.

The worst thing is, it's intentional. The intellectuals and the elite politicians in individual nations and the EU are deliberately seeking to permanently deconstruct Europe and everything it means to be European. As if there is something inherently "wrong" with being a white European.

So what happens when all those of European extraction are booted out of the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa and sent back to Europe?

Also, will I have to do some sort of timeshare between the four or five countries that the different branches of my family come from?
