Re: Have you ever faced any overt racism??

Ya It happened to me

I went to France in 2000, a year before I started University

While coming back from Paris, I landed in Toronto

Out of all the passengers in the aircraft, the Security people picked me for a body inspection.

First they spend 10 minutes reading my rights infront of a lot of passengers and I felt very humiliated.

So they took me to a private room and padded me down. They thought I was smuggling extacy from France.

I thought of suing but I said forget it.

This was the summer before 9/11

ps. **one of my cousin was also lying on Lahore road for two hours after got hit by the car. no one dare to call any hospital or police. (and the guy who hit him they just ran away). then he died (inna lillahe wa inna ilaihi rajioon) which is load better than being paralyzed and depend on other first class pakistani citizens (at least we third class pakistanis do have same health facilities as first class citizens of these countries and no one have to be dependent on any one else) **

…this is what happens with first class citizen in Pakistan

I’m so so sorry to hear that Zobia…how long ago did this happen?

Re: Have you ever faced any overt racism??

It is a fact that most goras deep inside have racist tendencies. Most of them will pretend on the outside to be very tolerant, but inside they are very intolerant towards minorities.

I have traveled to "redneck-ville" and the people there are openly racist and hostile. They won't talk to you if you go to their gas station. But the people in the cities are generally more tolerant(at least on the outside).

If you are in the cities, don't act like a sissy and take any racial bs. You should speak up and have some courage. But one thing I would say is that whites in US/Canada tend to be slightly less racist then your euro boys.

hey man...the runners take dollars and pounds per month from them...courage showing means ..kicking out of the island of UK..or lands of US and Canada..which cannot be affordable...racial remarks are affordable...:)
