Horrible to think some people follow this stuff. However unpleasant Britain can feel at times, I'm glad I don't live in white-trash America.

They don't have to have a reason - they make them. They find them.

I know I shouldn't have laughed, but I did.
At least it's reversable and such, so you can put whatever group of people you want in.
And I don't jsut mean religion/race etc.
SOcial groups too.
So yeah, I can make that joke to my mates with neds and goths or something.
Cool.

I went to Derby Uni and there was tension there then. Not saying it's just Derby Uni it's rife all over as well I think in America they just report it / hype it up more than over here.

Maybe. But even then they'll find it harder to justify it to themselves.
"You only have one bullet in your gun and you come across a Fenian (Catholic) and a n*****. Who do you kill?"
"The Fenian. Business before pleasure."
"The only thing worse than a Jap, is a Jew."
etc.

When I was seeing a lass staying down in Derby Uni, there was a huge problem between Pakistani and Indians. Some of the most racist jokes have ever heard came from both parties in relation to each other. It ended up in a serious fight one time too.
On a side note, I was at a party with my gf. we were the only two white peiople in a group of approx 20+. Some of them turned to me as started along the lines of "you must think we're all stuipid p@ki's".
"Errrrm. no. not at all."
"liar"
"No, I think you lot a f***wits, but it isn't anything to do with skin / race / religion"
Defused it a little.
What surprised me was that it was "in-fighting" between what we would generally call "the Asian population" - Indians and Pakistanis, really laying into each other.
Okay, we all know the tensions between the two countries, but you don't tend to hear about it happening here.
I consider that no different from what you claim to be against here. So drop the facade.
