^ To be honest with you her cute looks or her fancying me wasn't the only factor, I'm a nice guy and I'd feel bad if she got sacked or something, she so desperately wanted to move out of her flat and get her own place..

If it had been a guy I'd put him in his place with a few punches (can't do that with a girl) but wouldn't get the managment involved, like I said I'm too nice for my own good and it would be kind of "cry babyish" as well.

lol i know what you mean, or what you could of done if it was a guy, is taken him to a bare knuckle boxing match and put all the money on yourself like in snatch!

How do British Indians manage to keep their noses clean? They cant all be rich, and yet you dont hear of wild gangs of Indians?!?! What is the real difference between British Indians and Pakistanis?

lol
indians are also pakis to all brits. they keep they're heads bowed, live their lives with 'some' amount of insecurity and not being heard. one of the problems is that they are spread about amongst pakistani and white communities. btw there is little difference between pakistanis and indian muslims now. indian hindus that do mix with pakistanis get into the same kind of things as their pakistani friends be it good or bad.
pakistanis seem 'able' where as indians seem 'disabled' in many aspects of real life. for this reason indians seem to just get on with the job at hand, ie school, education with 100% commitment as this is also their main source of sociallising too. pakistanis on the other hand enjoy a much more active social life with people of a very similar background. these friendships have trust and have a very strong bond. this leads to feeling group shared pride, security and some amount of feeling superior over other ethnic groups.

as i was growing up, i knew i was blessed from up above. its been a pleasure being a brit pakistani.

rr i didn’t deny that gujaratis will be slightly darker than mirpuris/punjabis but mp’s/punjabis are no more prettier to white people than gujjis and being dark is nothing bad. anyways no point arguing this because i don’t care what white people think about Asian peoples looks.

Nobody in this whole thread made the connection between being dark and looking ugly, EXCEPT YOU Sooooooo Indian!

I use to be racist to white people ( trust me it’s such a good defense mechanism), I never ever felt down when people dogged my people or ppl I was associated with because feelings were mutual but then I thought it’s wrong and after all some whites are Muslim brethren like Yvonne Riddley or our brothers in Europe the Avar/Vainakh Caucasians so I changed my mindset and now it really brings me down when I see racism against my people and I can’t return it.

I feel for you..Must be tough for you :halo:

vroom I've always envied Asians who live and grow up in Asian dominated areas, good looking healthy brown people everywhere, kitted up cars with sub buffers, restaurants and takeaways which actually sell food instead of cardboard, azan from the mosques..

I don't come from a posh area or anything but it's not an inner city area, just a nice little town so Asians are a tiny minority, most neighbours get on with us but we've experienced a lot of racism.

When I was at school there was a lot of Asians so we only ever hung out with each other, we had 1-2 Italians who we had redeemed and initiated into our group but that was about it. I can relate to the bond, pride, security and feeling of contentment you talk of, whites hated us so we hated them and there was no desire to be accepted by them so no worries, I think I was in year 8 when 9/11 happened and it was sad so many people died but no big deal as far as “what will people think of us?” was concerned, the elders were worried about what will become of Muslims in the west but we couldn't relate to their feelings because we didn’t have to interact with outsiders the way they did, only now when there is mention of something like that on the news I think “oh no ab kya kar diya!!”, of course I feel for the victims as well but my primary concern is having to face colleagues who paint us all in the same brush, whereas when I was amongst Asians such things were none issues.

Those days I didn't find whites attractive at all (I thought they were well bland) so that was one more reason to not care about what they thought of us but lately I think they're growing on me, not the chavette hoop earring types but the upper class urban types so I sometimes quite hope everyone just starts getting on with each other.
