Trouble is nowadays, even the merest hint of mentioning anything other than 100% positivity towards some sections of a community and people seem to be programmed to scream 'racism!' This may be why no discussion can ever take place. Point the finger of racism and the accused has to justify why he isn't as opposed to the accuser explaining the reasons why he has.

Agree and it's pathetic, too many snowflakes in this day and age

As you have said before people can't wait to be offended on behalf of someone else.

Your comments weren't racist ..

This link explains the meaning of racism to those members of the forum who don't understand what racism is https://www.adl.org/racism

I don't believe your comment is racist after reading your explanation. Too many cup cakes around who get offended way to easily in this overly politically correct society.

I think there's a little denial from both sides of this conversation.

Firstly, the offended party/parties may have gone a little OTT in their response.

Secondly, the site superiority club are pretending they were just reciting statistics when they were quite obviously exaggerating something to amuse themselves, with a bit of fun about a town with no white people (which Luton isn't, as the majority are still white). I'm not sure it's the most racist thing ever said, but likewise, it isn't that funny or relevant either. Still, if that is what makes you smile whilst typing away, crack on, but don't plead complete innocence when someone pulls you for your shit joke.

It may be a shit joke in your opinion Alex and let's be fair we never see eye to eye anyway but it's not racist.

A throwaway comment yes of course it is.

How is the membership of the 'hard done to club' coming on?

By the way is past your bedtime

See, always too quick to defend yourself and throw in a little dig to make yourself feel superior too. However, at no point did I mention I was offended, I objectively commented on both sides of a discussion.

Ok, on this occasion you win, saying there's no white people in Luton as a joke could never be viewed as offensive by anyone and now I think about it, it's actually pretty hilarious after all. Happy now?

Just enjoying the banter Alex as I can't sleep, since your comment on Jesica Jones I am now watching that!

She is easy to watch to be fair.

[Goneinsixtyseconds]

Oh, and back on subject, to the OP's original comment, probably a lot of Rolls Royces in Luton as it's the busiest airport in the country for private jets.

Harrods Aviation is based there and given it is owned by Qatar Holdings, it is probably putting non white people in those Rolls Royces most of the time as well. The outrage it must cause as these rich non white folk glide silently through Luton, as BMW 3 series drivers stand by the road carrying out an ethnicity census.

To be fair when leaving Luton airport heading for London you don't actually have to drive through Luton........ Just saying

This was not a part of Luton where you would go to and from the airport! Unless hopelessly lost!

Thank you for the geography lesson, I think you might have taken my response too literally.

If you are living in Luton or driving through it, then you are lost.

Says the man living in the West Midlands driving a Golf R.

How did you pay for that Golf, PCP, cash, or 6 months inside when you nicked it? I seem to remember you did disappear for a while?!

Yep areas of the West Midlands are the shithole of the universe no problem with that.

Does not remove the fact on how shit Luton is.

Thanks for the unprovoked personal attack.

I seem to remember you are the one with the Criminal conviction, having been found guilty.

Most of us forum members are law abiding members of soceity, others obviously are not.

Ooh, get you....I'm so ashamed of my teenage conviction, how will I ever get over it.

And it wasn't a personal attack. It was sarcastic regional stereotyping. The theme of this thread surely?

I guess you missed that. Still, it proved the point that the Luton resident on this thread was ok to react the way he did.

If you go on the attack after a regional stereotyping joke, why shouldn't he??

That's a bit racist, Alex.

[creepy coupe]

I went to Luton once in 1996. It was the the only time I got a speeding ticket. I was trying to get out. True story
