ORCABOMBER: Tender, you've got some valid points, I think it tends to be taken for granted that "white" people are the "default". In the Western world, and people of other ethnicities tend to either act, or are treated as if they are different from this "default".
I mean, take your example for guys that work at stores. In "corner shops" as we call them in England, a huge majority of the staff are Asian, or from that background at least. Why? Dunno, it's something social-economists can talk about.
An interesting point in Europe is because ex-soviet states are joining the union, people fear they'll be taken their jobs, regardless of the fact that they'll end up in jobs that NO ONE wants to work for. It doesn't stop these "servants" from being treated worse than shit though.
Literally, I would be a better man if I killed someone today than if I was Romanian as far as "they're" concerned.
Which loops back to culture and probably crime as well. I don't act "blatently" black if you want to use all known steortypes. I have history, I have culture, I live in the UK. It's why I have no sympathy for people of ANY colour who start hustling others.
But also, it's why I don't completely agree with the War On Terror as it is, because when we were getting the bejeezus kicked out of us by the Irish, the government did the minimum to restore order, but now that a bunch of "evil Muslim bastards" are kicking the US in the teeth, NOW they decide bombings are bad?
