Over what, my opinion or the fact that you don't agree with it? I haven't got anything to be over unlike you earlier today, i'll go to bed and forget about this in a minute unlike you who let your little problem gnaw at you all day until you rang the guys company and then posted on here about it to try not to feel bad about yourself. I'm not the one who has anything to get over or has any problems doing such when the need arises 
Goodnight, have a good weekend and just forget about it

Sorry, I totally disagree with you. This man is representing Fedex and his behaviour is unacceptable, obviously we're only hearing one side of the story but assumming the op isn't keeping something back then this is unacceptable behaviour. If he treated me like that I wouldn't hesitate to report it to his employer.
When people stand back and let this sort of behaviour stand it leads to the sort of problems we are experiencing in society today.

I forwarded a mate of mine a text message that I recieved earlier....
He rung me up straight away pissing himself laughing. But if I post it on here the pc wierd lot will infract me to death. (even though it's funny as **** IMO and his)
He's not racist, but I do know 'coloured' and 'white' people that are racist.
The ones out of them all that couldn't give 2 f*cks and have a laugh are my real mates.
Racism is racism - that does includes back on white.
Why can't some of 'us' and some of 'them' just get over it?

The thread was an honest question about what other people would do in a similar situation. You could have made a comment such as 'i would have ignored it..' but you didnt.
You are the only one who has come on here making remarks aimed exactly at what I did, and pointed comments at me. You missed the point of the thread entirely and made it personal, looking for a bite? Trolling, I believe.
Goodnight.

Well done for reporting him. I would have done the same.
I hope he loses his job for being an arrogant wakner.

Racism..........Name calling over exagerated by people with an inferiority complex.
You are right to complain to Fedex but as far as the cops are concerned, if you report it to them (cops) they will be obliged to arrest the bloke for a racist public order which may end in you attending court to give evidence against the van driver.

HHHmmmmmm, unsure if it could go this far without witnesses. What about his counterclaim? I wasn't there, and nor was anyone else, (And I'm NOT accusing little-ginge, because I wasn't there)
Let's talk hypothetically. HE (the van driver) made a counter claim that ginge called him a N****R first, there's no proof/evidence/witnesses. . . .
Or if he made a different counter claim, for example that he actually shouted "You $hite bitch!" and he was mis-heard!
To be honest, there are far worse things in the world than name calling, don't you think? I wouldn't want to see someone get sacked for calling me a name personally, and I also wouldn't get out of my car to remonstrate with someone because they stuck two fingers up at me to begin with, and it ain't cos I'm scared! It's pure and simple that the person could have a weapon/screw loose/black belt in karate/all of the above!
After all, don't we hear all about the knife culture all the time? And guys getting stabbed because the looked at someone the wrong way, or "disrespected" them?

All said and done there is one rule for one......
If a coloured gent called me 'white eye English honky' I honestly couldn't give a flying f*ck. On the other hand If I called the same coloured gent a 'N*gger' (lets assume I know he's from nigeria) or a 'black tw@t' he would probably take great offence and I could possibly be charged. What gets me though is if the same coloured gent goes up to his coloured friend and say's 'Wossup N*gger' or If P Diddly or whatever his name is wants to sing about his n*igger biatches It's fine! If no one made such a big deal about it there wouldn't be a problem! peace

If what was said offended you due to its race related content then report it to the police. I for one would not tollerate any form of racism and would ahve no hesitation informing the police or kicking thier heads in.
I'm actually in the process of writing to my MP about the issue or racism on Xbox live whihch beleive me is disgraceful and MS do nothing about it even with pressure form the police.
The sooner unaccpetable behaviour gets stamped out the better and accepting this as nat suggests is simply the reaosn why we have the problems we do thnis lazy cannot be bothered attitude is why we have the sopcial issues we do, the great british laziness.

RJM25R -I agree that there are far worse things than name calling, and yes I did think afterwards about how silly it was of me for leaving my car to speak him. It's a redhead quick reaction thing which often gets me into trouble with my other half
Jimpreza -Ginog, it's a new one to add to the ever growing ginger-ism list
What annoys me is the fact that if a white person calls a black person a racist term, it's a big no-no and everyone reacts; however, as in my instance yesterday, a black person is racist to a white person and it is it's condoned.
As for phoning and complaining, it wasn't just about the abuse etc, I also wanted to speak to them about his parking, as it was dangerous. I know delivery drivers are known for their stop and leave it parking approach, but this was dangerous for both road users and pedesrtians, most of which where i live are kids and OAP's.

Not read the replies, so soz if I repeat someone.
I don't regard him calling you a 'white bitch' racist'.
Rude as in the 'bitch' bit, but if you're white, then how's it offensive? If you were fat and he called you a fat bitch, it's just a descriptive term.
I'm forever being called a 'big dicked b@stard' and a 'good looking ******', and take it well

If he comes looking for you go to the police or give me a call! If he has to deliver to your house it will be a good slap in his face. I'm asian and muslim and I hate people who play the race, religious card when they are just as racist.
Calling someone a white bitch is a nasty, horrible thing to say and he deserves everything he gets. He was in the wrong not you!

Believe it or not most dark skinned people manage to go about their daily lives without being racist to white people. In SOME sections of society people have realized that people born in the UK are mostly the same whatever their skin colour and 'darkies' are infact people with a variety of attitudes and opinions and on occasion 'darkies' act in ways slightly different to the way expressed by the anual darkie meeting where they all agree to fit a racist cultural stereo type.
