in my area have not noticed any a Ethnic Train Enthusiast,quite rare were i live i dont mean this affensive,in anyway and apologise to people already if they take it affensively,but most people who are Black or mixrace in my area are Either in the chicken and chip shop or blaring out there R-N-B.

i have got to say though i have made a friend on the Bromley north line,who is Black and Jamaican,and he is a driver,he lets me sit in the cab somtimes (not while driving of-coarse)and we always talk about trains etc.. and we get on well.

Are you really so ignorant that you can't tell the difference between someone black and someone Asian?

Nah, I just wanted to use the rhyme.

I apologise if my incorrect classification has offended you in any way. Indeed, I know something of your roots from an MSN conversation where you discussed visiting your relatives; so I'm not entirely ignorant.

I'm not so sure about that. It seems to me that you class everyone who's not white under the same umbrella. To come out with a statement like that, I assume that either you have a condition, or you're simply a backward hick in which case I won't accept your apology.

I'm sure thats not what he intended, doesn't seem to be malicious if you ask me.

Oh dear, this is turning into a bigger farce than the time the DRS driver didn't give the YouTubers staged "thrash in the tunnel" at Wembley Central.

As much as you may want to convince yourself thus, I am not classifying everyone who is non-white under the same umbrella in the same way I don't classify everyone who IS white under the same umbrella. The MSN conversation I referred to involved yourself discussing the consumption of 'malibu' whilst on holiday with your grandparents in, I presume, the Caribbean.

If you don't accept my apology then that's your decision.

You're backtracking, which is a bit pointless now. Why else would you say I'm Asian when you know I'm not? Just because I'm not white, you think I'm the closest thing that fits into your completely irrelevant rhyme? Like I said, either you suffer from a condition where you don't know when not to say things, or you're extremely backward.

Can we stop the 'racist' remarks now please and get back on topic, otherwise it'll have to be closed.
