rite so i live in the uk bham to be exact and those of u from the uk know this city is highly desified anyways i was in a chip shop just minding my own business as usual and these two young girls came in i am like 19 n they looked about 14 and 17 they were having a convo bout how a friend of theirs has married from “back home” to which the other girl said ewww he married a frieshie the younger girl said no she dont look like one to which the other girl replies so wat all pakis(no offence) are illegal immigrants and they come and take OUR money and she was talking like this and saying how they cant speak english properly and all kinds of nonese wen i turned around to have a look at these girls the older one was like a gori wanabe with blonde hair pink nail varnish bright pink lipgloss and alll of that and i just had to laugh
but i think to myself these girls were talkin bout how they r illegal immigrants but arent u products of immigrants so are you claiming your parents grandparents are illegal and just live off benifts
13-17 is a peak time for drama, insecurity issues, and identity issues. It is also a time when a lot of people are at their most annoying because they deal with the above issues by putting others down and creating melodrama.
Don't give it too much thought, unless you want to calmly educate them about the implications of their claims. I doubt that will work tho. Most people just need to grow up.
yh it just got to mee mainly cos like they disrespecting other ppl
Don't worry about it, they're only teenagers... i'd be more concerned/pissed off if it were college-aged, "grown-up" (20-somethings) saying the same thing..
I think anyone who is brought up in this country (or any west) goes through that phase at least once in their life..its normal to go through it in the high school age, but more troublesome if its n college/later...
I think it mainly stems from insecurities and wanting to ‘fit in’;what you are describing it quite widespread.Like everyone is saying…ignore their prejudicied views.Some of my own friends use words like ‘freshy’ etc..it irks me because our parents/descendants would have been classed with these terms:smack:but they forget that
I think you mis understand the issue. First of all, the parents/grandparents of the girls in questions were probably over in this country legitimately, namely by visa waver offered to commonwealth residents in the 1950-60s to fill up the labour markets with competent and willing workers.
Secondly, this concept of "freshie" is not exclusively a "desi" one. The Afro-Caribbean community use the term equally as liberally. Also, there is a definite distinction between economic migrant and a "freshie". By virtue of living in your (excuse the prejudice) god-forsaken town, I'm sure you are well aware of the bad reputation that these individuals have brought unto them selves. They are mostly rude, uncouth and underhanded. T
It is not the fault of the girls that they are voicing the opinion of the majority, the newly migrated population need to look at themselves, if they are really so concerned about this (which I doubt) and change from within. As is always the case when fire leads to smoke, you need to get rid of the root cause.
The girls fashion sense was imo irrelevant as I do not think the young ladies primary incentive was to look like a white girl - but rather to look good and good is subjective.
Seriuosly though what really annoys me is that atleast pakistani ppl work for a living, most of these goray are claiming of the government- meaning our tax money. Do u know what really gets to me is though most of these ppl are just jealous its the whole they came to our country and are making more money than us.
I have to say though I always though britian was multiracial but there is still forms of racism even today which we fail to acknowledge or just ignore. Although if I was in this situation zayma I probably would have said something to those girls at the chips shop, give a real telling off and then leave
