It’s a different thing imho. In places like Bradford there is a resentment due to the numbers and white people feeling they are being marginalised. Up here it’s still a novelty to see a black person in the pub, and people seem happy to use racist words without any actual malice.Areas with massive levels of integration like Bradford have in the past voted in BNP councillors. Sunderland with low levels haven't voted any in. Go figure.
Sorry, what? The post you accused me of being a snowflake in was my stating that people seem to be less worried about expressing offensive opinions these days. I’m not sure what offensive language you want me to show you.Show me the offensive language.

Sorry.. you said there was institutional racism.
Where? What institutions?
I thought the thread was about non white people.
I don't know how accurate the guardian's poll is and I haven't commented on it. I just take issue with those who like to show how un-racist they are by patronisingly putting Sunderland down as some racist hotspot. Fair enough 2 of them are known wums but it does happen a lot on here. I'm sure you'll now speak out against it next time it happens.
You wroteI’m not sure what offensive language you want me to show you.
I just wondered what these "offensive opinions" were. I thought you had specific examples.Dunno if my memory is messing with me but this board seems to be getting worse month by month for people voicing archaic and offensive opinions.
No, it would just make you less hypocritical.Would that make you feel better?
Ok, so what are these "established and respected forces in the society" that are racist?The term "institutional racism" was coined and first used in 1967 by Stokely Carmichael (later known as Kwame Ture) and Charles V. Hamiltonin Black Power: The Politics of Liberation.[2]Carmichael and Hamilton wrote that while individual racism is often identifiable because of its overt nature, institutional racism is less perceptible because of its "less overt, far more subtle" nature. Institutional racism "originates in the operation of established and respected forces in the society, and thus receives far less public condemnation than [individual racism]"
So now you're saying they're liars.
It's been suggested Sunderland voted massively in favour of Brexit due to immigration, after they saw it creeping further North and didn't want it happening here.

Haven't heard anyone use the term P*ki shop for years.Definitely agree there. Look at how many still say darkie or blackie. Or say they are going to have a Chi*kies when ordering a Chinese or call the local newsagents the p*ki shop. Still not great mind and not terms I would use.
Ray (the Indian bloke who owns half the shops in Sunderland) calls himself a P*ki. He's known all over Sunderland as P*ki Ray, always has been. It doesn't bother him one bit. Even his wife Kathy says it.Haven't heard anyone use the term P*ki shop for years.
Terms used by most of the people I know,I don't think I know any racist people either tbh.Once came against a racist on a train and told him to shut his mouth or I'd bust it for trying to intimidate a Chinese lad and lass.Definitely agree there.
