well basically, im asian, i should have received my box early this month along with many others from surrounding areas, who are also asians and havn't received a thing, however all my english mates have received theirs and i told everyone about it, told around 30 people. which is why i have come to such a conclusion that any asians should not bother signing up cos you aint gunna get a damn thing unless you use a christian name i would assume.
Abseloutely shocking that martins website would support such discrimination!

There's probably a perfectly simple explanation to consider before whipping out the race card. :rolleyes:0 -
Well i'm white with a white last name (Well, it comes from Derby originally) and I recieved two boxes. One this morning and one a month ago.
Maybe the people giving out the free boxes prefer people with white names and a East Midlands connection...?!
I didn't recieve my 100 free jelly beans, but that could be 'cos i'm not a fat khunt and wasn't sat refreshing the page at the stroke of midnight...
Theres lots of simple reasons that people don't get free stuff...0 -

oh please lets not start that nonsence on here....I am sure there are lots of reasons why some have received theirs and others have not. As a note three of my friends - all asians with very asian names HAVE received theirs and yet my mum who is english with a very english name has not. I guess that rather throws your theory out the window - doesn't it?????:j Member Number 18 of the "100 free films in London in 2010" club:hello:0 -
!!!!!!!!! I am white with a white name and my box hasnt turned up. Get over it, I am kind of with others who have said there are alot of reasons why you dont always get things, but playing that card without any more than a straw poll amongst a few people leaves alot to be desired. It also makes it rough for people who really do have a cause to say that! All in my humble opinion of course!!Debt free = December 2010...as of March 2006 it is now January 2010..... as of December 2008 it is now December 2009 :j hopefully sooner!!:jDEBT FREE:j January 2012, took longer but I got there, all by myself, through sheer hard work and pride!0

lmfao
yeh
sure sure
whatever you say....
deep down inside you guys know im right though, doesn't matter what you say.
Would you be able to pick it up anyway, you know, with that great chip on your shoulder? It's people like you that encourage racism by always shrieking about it when in fact, you just were unlucky or just have to wait. I've applied for like 30 freebies in the last fortnight, how many have I received? Two. I wanted the alarm clock given away by the asian law/accident firm. I didn't get one. OMG! Discrimination! It's because I'm white. Really. It is. It's not because they ran out, or because some greedy get ordered 5 and they've caught on to all the owt-for-nowts diving in, it's because they know I'm white. I'm off to the CRE immediately. :rolleyes:0
