These rags only report what stupid councils do in the name of racial cohesion, with the Gaurdian and Independant also doing their fare share of misinformtion as well

No, they do more than that - we had a classic case on here recently where a tabloid story was reproduced about an Indian couple who had had IBV treatment resulting in the birth of twin girls. The story in the tabloid mantained that because boys were more prized in their culture, they had abandoned them in hospital. The result was a whole string of posts demanding instant deportation. It then turned out to be a load of old cobblers - they had left them in hospital because of medical complications and were, in fact, delighted with the birth. More mischief-making by the press!

I have spoken to many people who are racist but would never make a big song and dance about it.
It's sad yes but Spain probably aren't that different to us or other countries,its just they don't give a damn about us knowing their views.

After all these years I've just realised I must be Spanish.;)

BTW "racist" is a made up word by The PC Brigade:rolleyes:

I really do believe that there is more than a little rascism in all of us, and that most of us buy into the racial stereotypes that are out there. The most rascist person I ever ran into was Buffy Sainte-Marie .... go figure:confused:

I haven't got a clue what the Buffy jobby is.
The Spanish have many fiesta's to celebrate whatever they want to celebrate.
Bull Running in Pamplona...Moors coming off the beach to fight the Christians...Tomato fest to celebrate the tomato harvest...They have a Saints day for every day of the year.
This is the Spanish tradition as are fireworks.
If you've got a headache in Spain, wear earplugs and take an asprin.
If you choose to complain the Spanish in no uncertain terms will tell you to 'sod off' and go back where you came from.
Would that be racist in our beloved land? Come in the PC brigade?

So 'gato' is cat in Spanish. It is 'gatto' in Italy.
But in France and UK gateux is cake.
So dont ask for a gateux in a cafe in Spain and Italy :D

Like the Bull Running by the way .... often wondered if we could do the same thing over here with moose, or grizzlies;) .... on ice of course.
