it is nothing against skin colour, or where you come from, but when you take our benefits, our jobs, our educational grants, etc, etc - over those who especially need it. Its the way the majority of you are rude, and ignorant, and over price things.
you come over here, and are so rude, no please, no thank you, and most of you cant even speak english.
you take out loans, and credit cards and the like - knowing you cant pay them. and its us british tax payers that end up paying for it.
Now for those in IT, your not so bad, you build our economy and im sure you speak english. So go for it

just me

indians
Britain especially the major cities and the south east has a large number of indians and british people (with indian heritage) and from everywhere else. Most British people in the major centres are used to working and living with people from all over the world - in the nicer parts of the country you'll have no problems and be welcomed for your skills - a dood standard of spoken english and a good sense of humour and you'll be fine.

Racial Discrimination
You british people are racist. Racial discrimination exist at a large scale in U.K. Moreover british person gets paid more money for the same job. British person distinguish on the basis on skin of colour. British people think that just because they have white skin they are superior than Indian . British person easily manage to get a job whereas Indian has to struggle for it, even if britisher is not skilled enough they get job easily.

English are racist!
The English will always be racist to us Indians because they don't understand our rich history.I am a British Indian and I have been racially abused all my life, from minor comments to being beaten up.Worst thing of all is the number of times I have been turned down for a job and I know it is because I am Indian.If it was an englishman with the same qualifications he would of got the job no probs.All this has happened to me and I live in a good area of the country, good help the brothers who live in poorer areas.You just have to get used to racism and realise that these people are ignorant.If only they realised the rich history of our people.This country would be nothing without the contribution of the asians.Unfortunately we get used and abused.Not all the english are racist but most of them are even if they are polite to you.We are a peacefull people mainly our religions of Sikhism and Hinduism are of peace so we have no reason to be racist to the indiginous people of England.So when the BNP says most racial crimes are comitted by asians that is nonsense.I just say to all my brother Indians new to this country who experiance racism we have been there, you just have to get used to it.

yea ok
Ajit
- made a good point British people easily manage to get jobs because they don't make words up like britisher.

Arjun
- everyone gets used and abused not just Indians.
- what the BNP say is also true there are multitudes of cases where Indian gangs have harassed various people specially in the citys where Indians outnumber the other races 10:1 like Bolton for instance
- as for miner comments and being beaten it swings both ways.

now to both of you
- when it comes to jobs they are looking for the best person that will fit in and is likely to stay on.
1. if you have an accent that isnt understandable it will affect the fitting in which in turn will mst likely make you move jobs anyway.
2. being over qualified -YES YOU HAVE MORE QUALIFICATIONS- big deal the company will see that as you will probably move jobs.
3. interviews -they interview you for a reason so that they can get a handle on you this is where language comes in the English guy/girl wont be sweating it while trying t sell them selfs however if your not skilled in the language its harder.
4. remember its not just you going for the job there could be 1000s of aplicants
5. at the end of it if you think the decision is racist you can take them to an employment tribunal with the race relations act

oh and another point for arjit the whole white guy gets paid more is a load of bull its covered by the race relations act only legal way it could happen is if the person worked there before you on a different wage scale and before you started the scale change (some businesses give bonuses for years worked 1st year basic 2d year £200 extra 3rd year 500 extra ect), scale change would leave the persons contract Xamount above a new scale systems worker wage as by law it cant be reset.

Brits are racist, in denial and hypocrites!
To Sam and others, you have typical brit mentalities your in denial,

Indians are one of the most sucessful, groups in this country, have one of the lowest crimes rates, one of the highest pass rates in education and the highest rate of home ownership. Reading some of the comments here just show how backward brits are, (they think they are the most advanced lol)

As for Gangs sam its the white gangs that are the most dangerous just look at your racist football gangs, white gangs would make black gangs look like a joke.

More Indians have been killed by whites that whites by Indians check this with the Police (if they have the decency to admt it) or with the Home Office.

It is much easier for a White person the get promoted or get a jobs than any other community,even if they have less qualifactions or experience and as you don't believe this send a C.V to different companies with different names and you will see the result, or form a group with different races and all apply for the same job and then find out the result.

As for the English language Indian speak better english than the english many english get low english grades and those who live abroad cannot speak the languages of those coountries(you stupid hypocrites)

As for benefits remember that the average Indian works harder than the average white person and pay more taxes and there are many lazy white people who live of benefits and blame immigrants for their miseries. Racism in this country exists in every walk of life, education, the police, the army, employment, just to name a few.

As for thankyou and please and Manners many whites on public transport never que up, push in front of line and never say excuse me and also push.

Yet brits love to eat foreign food drive foreign cars, holiday in foreign countries, watch foreign films, drink foreign beer and rob foreign countries!

Brits are the laziest and most racist people in the world!
My family moved to the UK from India in 1962 and we worked very hard at work.We experienced racism and were looked down on. Now we are wealthy, we still get racism! I get stopped by police regularly because I drive a mercedes.They just ask for my ID and other basic questions. But why have I been stopped so many times? It is because I am asian and I own a Mercedes. The englishman can't accept that I have earned it legally and through hard work!This is just a small example, but day to day we get abuse of the racist form by the English either directly or indirectly.This does not bother us any more we get on with our lives and cant give a dam about them.They should get off the ases and work hard and then they might get the rewards we get.

Britains Wealth Created From Slavery and Colonial Rape!
White Brits are racist to the core. Some hide it better than others. The higher up the class ladder you go the more calculating it becomes.
I think some of the comments regarding Asian gangs and other negative connotations apply more to the Pakistanis more than the Indians. Their is a difference!
What riles a white Brit more than anything is an intelligent and prosperous Indian/foreigner.
At the end of the day we pay tax etc just like every other British citizen. So like every other British Citizen we are entitled to everything this country has to offer. Our money also keeps the economy going. After all the richest person in Britain is Indian.
Most White Brits don't even know their own history. If they did they would understand why we are here and why things are the way they are! Maybe Eastenders and other White Brit TV garbage can incorporate some of this into its storylines!LOL
What is worse than racist White Brit?
A fellow Indian(s) who think they are white.

Racist
How is anyone racist cus they dont wanna hear about your fucking history? Why does the rest of the world need to "appriciate" you. It's their business what they think of you, not yours.

You are the disrespectful ones, you build temples here in an english country when half your brain dead children don't know the language or let alone the flag for that matter.

England is multi cultrual yes, but first and formost it is BRITISH and CHRISTIAN not asain or any other religion. So fuck off beinng offended by ours ways or crawl back to your shit hole of a country and lick out a cows shit hole. Cus I know how much you love em.

Oh and if you want respect outside of your country then how about stop beating women and thinking your the best and sticking your noses in everywhere. And if you were born here i don't give a fuck cus you aint british at all. other races here mange it but not you pakis becuase you are ignorant.

You are money grabbing, dirty, smelly, rag head, ignorant fuck heads. You make people hate you then call them racist when your the ones instigating it all. So of course people will react like this.
