ES- I am surprised by that, i know asians are generally colour obsessed when it comes to marriage, beauty etc, but not racists. They are not vocal about it, unlike whites. Majority of somali kids get bullied by the jamaicans, especially the fresh of the boat ones who dont speak the language.

Leila when the schools are almost exclusively pakistani, you get those issues.

but the Indians are better, wallahi I see them as an altogether superior species when compared to Pakistanis.I have more respect for them whether they are Hindu, Sikh.

I have personally not been subjected to racial abuse by any group, discrimination, perhaps? But outright racism, nah! Perhaps once, when I was at Walmart I wanted to purchase some soda cans and this lady in front of me looked like she was a wife of some Vietnam vet scorning me and looking at me as if I was to blame for the influx of Hispanics and other minorites.
In the US wallahi the discrimination is apparent however its not as bad as UK. In the UK, Somalis are racially abused by North Africans, Pakis, Bengals and all the lowest of creation :lol:

I dont know if they are better than each other when it comes to prejudices, but Indians have some better qualities; i find them more honest, better workmanship. But nothing comes close to the racism, hatred of the white people. The only place i did not come across their prejudice yet is employment; but i know it will happen one day. Since i wore hijab, being called a paki has become something normal.

Glasgow or Edinbuurgh 8-)

I kid you not and I bet you hands down I know more people in West side of London who got discriminated against than all Somalis in every state in North America :lol:
Just today my cousin was telling me about how the new generation of young Somalis in North London are systematically abused by Turks :o

In the States we deal with the big three :- The AA, The Whites and the Hispanics. The rest are doormats. In the East side of the United States you have the latinos from Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Honduras, Belize, Cuba etc. Whist on the West coast you have only one type of Hispanic which is Mexican. The African Americans in East side are more hard than their counterparts in West. The Whites in the South anywhere past Alabama are a problem and are no go areas for us coloured people :lol:

You need to understand the demographics in US is completely different from UK. Dudes from the US face much harder difficulties.
