A true sikh would never preach hatred.
How many sikh’s dont preach hatred to someone somewhere on earth?
What’s going on in Russia now with racism is horrific. Amnesty International said that racist attacks were “out of control” there. I’ve heard horror stories of infants having their throats slit or being beaten to death by skinheads over there.Ironically, we use the term “caucasian” to describe white people. But a Caucasian in Russia won’t necessarily be regarded as white in Russia.
The menace of extreme-nationalism is on the rise all across Europe. If we don’t stamp it out now then eventually it will blow up in our faces.

Judging by all the threads that have been dedicated to – directly and indirectly – to racism, it is obvious we all have strong feelings regarding the matter. If only we could all put as much energy into understanding fellow human beings as we do in trying to classify and categorise them … I am sure the world would be a better place for it.
Most people’s attitudes and preconceptions are influenced by the environment they live or have been brought up in. To try and break that cycle would be an achievement indeed. But that requires willingness, commitment, and, most of all, an open mind. I live in a prominently white area, where most of the crimes are committed by white young males. I have two white young males of my own, neither of whom are criminals, although a few of their school chums have fallen by the wayside over the years.
I pride myself in having taught them what it means to be a valued and respected member of their community. Despite peer pressure, they have never given me a moment to feel ashamed or guilty. They are also very apt at sussing people out, regardless of the creed/colour/conviction.
I guess what I am trying to say is … We reap what we sow. Someone has to take stock at some point, and stop the vicious cycle. Humanity is what matters, not politics, religions, colours … etc.
Totally agree.
My sons best friend is jamacian, and is moving back there in a few weeks and my son is devastated. My kids arent racist as i done condone it.
Dont do current affairs as a rule but wanted to tell this lil storie about me daughter
She came home from school bout a year ago now

I have tried to bring me kids up to think every 1 same good and bad and looks like it is working

same here i have indian and and black in my family so we have mixed race cousins aswell my girls are only 2 and 4. My 4 year old would be the first to notice a difference and she has noticed the difference but doesnt react of question it, i wont approach her with it until she asks which i dont think she will as me and her dad have never made it an issue why would we. My 4 year old has a friend called wesley who is black and he is her “boyfriend” as she says lol and her friend Rumandeep is indian and her best friend is arabic! Still she never questions the difference as its the way we have brought her up PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE

well i try to bring my kids up the best way possible and to not be racist and i think i do an ok job. i have witnessed racism as my grandma is german and my grandad english. my kids treat everyone the same no matter what.
they have best friends who are half english half turkish. the oldest girl is 10 and she made me laugh the other day when some one called her a ‘paki’ she said to me ‘but caroline im not even from pakistan’ and rolled her eyes :lol:If the population of the world was all black or all white, racialism would still
exist. It thrives on ignorance and fear.the people on here who have indian families and black relations and have spoke out against people moving here from different countries
if it was a member of your family would that be ok?
sorry but i find alot of the posts on here a bit too convenient.
