It depends on the citcumstances i suppose. When i went to Tenerife 6 years ago, all the elecrical shops were run by Pakistanis selling slr cameras as digitals and charging silly money for Game Boys. This doesnt really give a good reputation and you end up stereotyping everyone else.
Probably the reason people are racist though as they tarnish everyone with the same brush!

serious mode on/
Its always been there tho..... just now its politcally incorrect and all that crap, and raises media attention, so maybe appears more prominent?
i watched an old episode of fools and horses the other day...and del boy said 'p*ki shop', and lets not mention alf garnet
That was prime time BBC1 stuff remember.
Mind you, all this middle east crap and people blowing themselves to bits must hack a lot of people off, so it wouldnt surprise me to be honest if a new generation grows up with a slightly skewed slant on it all.
And i agree with wrxpete below too.... spot on

It's the sad truth that things seem to be going that way, and the eventually there will be a huge backlash.
I am not a racist, i recognise that Britain over the centuries has had large influxes of immigrants. Afro-caribbeans and south east asians are more recent but many families are already 5 or more generations removed from their original countries.
What i feel is lacking is that people forget what it really is to be British....just because the majority are white doesn't mean that british means to be joe average white bloke....British is about embracing our history and culture, doing your bit, playing by the rules.....if an Afghan bloke turned up tomorrow and got himself a job and a mortgage, bought a home and paid his taxes, he would be British......if a white british **** spent his day cussing an immigrant from the dole queue, fiddling the social out of money and drinking and doing anything to avoid working whilst getting a new house given to him for stupidly low rent, i'd say he's about as far removed from being British as you can get....
If we kicked out all the chav scum not contributing to society then there'd be plenty of room for all the immigrants ( and i mean the genuine ones, not the freeloaders) who wish to come and work and help make Britain great again.
So yes i'm a racist, i hate the race of lazy chavs draining this great nation.
I am English, i'm proud of it, i hate that people don't celebrate St Georges Day and ban me from having a George Cross in my window, but i'd never stop anyone doing the same.....Tony and Co, grow a backbone and let's celebrate the cultures of our country...let's celebrate our native country, even if it isn't part of the British Isles, but accept that we are British and remember what that means.
We are the greatest nation in the world, who wouldn't want to be a part of that!!!!
Rant over

Do you feel more racist these days?
But in answer to your poll, no. How can I feel a racist when "Born & Bred Brits" have recently blown up 60 people in Central London?

In the same way the good muslims are denouncing the extremists, I sincerely hope us good white Brits denounce the racist pillocks in our society and this board developing racist views (as evident from the poll results).

Muslims are just as racist as anyone else, more in fact.
The people of the UK are just totally fed up of all the PC rantings by governments, councils etc. Just look at any Gov, council, large organisations booklets, leaflets, job adverts etc.They all feature ethnics very heavily. As do all kids programmes as well, Why?, because their frightened not to, in case they're accused of being racist and they have to be politacally correct. It's a bloody joke.
It's about time someone in HM government had the ***** to stand up to all that is rotting away what used to be Great Britain.

I'm the same as I've ever been, if immigrants are fair and good people they deserve a chance.
What I think people are getting less tolerant are the abusers, criminals, whingers and loiterers, basically the ones that don't want to be part of society and the ones that labour governments pander to.

There is'nt a England,British Isles,UK, or whatever term you want to call it!
this island is a multi national, it has no identity anymore!
the only thing where the UK has a identiy is sport,even then you get other countrys playing over here, these so called 5 generation Brits,the majority follow not England they follow where there ancestors come!
English and proud?............. but not racist
