Having already encountered a lot of racism here, what more vitriol can be added?

Do you hold every person different from you accountable for the behaviour of others? If you have found that a positive thing to do, have you attacked innumerable people who are the descendants of other horrible happenings in history, or is it just anyone raised a Muslim for Isis/Daesch, the Trade Centre, and God-knows what else? Should people decide that all English people are pirates, and all Americans are Gook-murderers, the only good Vietnamese is a dead Vietnamese (add that to black Africans and First Nation Americans and Canadians)? Is there ANY logic in that?

Do you like criticising people who are different to you, per se?

Sorry to hear that. There are a lot here who are not like that.

In real life, the ratio of serious jerks per 100 population is about 5. On the net it's much higher.

Once someone has proved to be racist, bigoted or just plain nasty, I block them. They have nothing to say that I care to hear:

If you constantly seek racism, you find it or invent it everywhere

Yes there are a few racists on here, but not that many. The Muslim haters usually do not know shit about Islam as a religion.
The vast majority of users is open-minded and considers people from different cultures to be an enrichment, not a threat.
All English people are pirates, ya scurvy dog!
@BohemianBoo Ai ai can testify to this sailor!

All are welcome and I have friends from all backgrounds you mentioned. Those that feel the way you’ve described are ignorant, poorly educated and gullible persons that respond to propaganda. I feel they are the minority but are loud. Also on this and other platforms more of these entities are BOTS than a lot of people realize.

You must be digging for a reason to be offended . I don’t see much of that here at all .
Not because of their [b]race or ethnicity[/b]. I’ve experienced that and wouldn’t visit it upon others. But when people say they believe a certain way politically in my country, experience has taught me to be guarded.

@oezlem Good for you 👍. You also get free mutes 😀
I am so sorry you have experienced this - ignorant and unacceptable!

I have travelled widely in my life, both for personal and professional reasons, and I can only say that meeting and interacting with people from a diverse range of cultures and backgrounds has only ever been an enriching experience.

Don't let these idiots chase you away!

That horrible view you encounter and some people here should not be confused with what most of us actually feel. Maybe in America have moved towards the future. But some wish to go to the past. I really appreciate that you’re paying attention to this issue

@oezlem I have heard that that has been getting worse. I know many people from Turkey came to Germany as guest workers decades ago

How do your family react to you as a secular Muslim?

How does Germany respond to the Turkish community.

I’m a Christian, but not from a Christian family incidentally.
One of my team at work was a Sunni Muslim. We shared a lot about our faiths. But in her culture she had to take time off work to look after her son. Even though there were men in the house at home!
Her sister in law was going through divorce and was isolated by her community.

Do you fear isolation.

Yes there is a lot of intolerance on here, but not from everyone.

Absolutely not. Nobody should be judged on their faith or ethnicity.

@Yourguyinthecity I've been on SW for a very long time, and I can't see that those things happen frequently here.

I'm English, I didn't know we were regarded as pirates, I have a childhood admiration for them actually, this ethnic stereotyping has lifted my spirits. Yo ho ho!
Let me guess- all their "friends" of the same ethnicity agree with them! 🙄

I love the opportunities here to get to know people who are different from me.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
Why so angry?
@MarkPaul But high heels are so sexy!
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@BohemianBoo But, they always lead to anger. So, you have to choose carefully.
@MarkPaul This is true.
GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M
I havent really found that? Are you living in the US?
Nope. Guess I'm different like that.
