Oh for goodness sake. Would you like me to type out a copy of the original job advert? I wanted to know if you thought it was a type of benefit fraud, not all this racist nonsence.
If you see things as racist then maybe you are the one who is racist!
Thank you to the ones who have given their opinion on the matter of enticing fraud.
I don't think that would help. I'm sorry you don't like people pointing out your racism.
My mistake earlier, it wasn't Farage, it was Bloom who some people here remind me of. (please don't hit me with a rolled up copy of this forum)

You're welcome. (Since I did that too)0 -
I have changed my surname. It used to be more 'ethnic' and I was sick of spelling it on the phone.
It's just a colour, as I have stated previously.
and Asian food is just that, FOOD
Nothing racist about it, no hidden meaning or agenda.
It is no more offensive than your surname.
People like YOU who make a fuss about the slightest thing and blow it all out of proportion actually do more harm than good.0 -

Yep, your nonsense responses are the metaphorical equivalent of trying to hit me with a rolled up copy of this forum.
You can sit and scream 'it's not racism' as much as you like, you won't be changing my view.
It was unnecessary for the OP to mention the cuisine, and not the housekeeping activities or companionship activities. If you really can't see my viewpoint now, you never will.0 -

I for one will never see or rather agree with your viewpoint.
Blatant racism needs to be called out and is obviously wrong on every level but using the same word for something that is purely innocent and trying to make a big think out of it is not.
Look at that girl on big brother who made a big issue out being assaulted by another celebrity.
It cased a massive backlash from the type of people she thought she was sticking up for.
What you are doing to the OP is exactly the same.
You think you are sticking up for people that have suffered racism but in reality you are helping to widen the prejudice.
If YOU cant see this you need to stop and think about it for a while.0 -
Look at that girl on big brother...
No...
Look at the news.
edit:
I tried to find the Big Brother situation you were talking about. Googling 'big brother racism' leads to 41,700,000 results. It seems there have been multiple cases of racist behaviour on that god-awful show. The 2007 incident, with Jade Goody and Shilpa Shetty, which is clearly not what you're referring to. This year it seems to be Ellis Hillon and Rodrigo Alves getting in trouble, 2015 it was Ken Morely... The list goes on and on.
edit2:
Oh! I think I finanally found it! You're comparing me to Roxanne Pallett! Sorry, for a situation that is 'exactly the same' I expected more similarities, like having anything to do with racism at all. How silly of me.
This is totally unlike that situation because she was not 'trying to stick up for' domestic abuse victims. She was exaggerating a physical assault. She was lying.
I have not lied, or exaggerated. I have simply said that what the OP said is totally unnecessary, and they should think more carefully in the future.0 -
