However I am sure you will admit that at least some of those instances are indeed about some silly cultural beliefs, such as "people from my part of the world have the same family values". The percentage here I believe is irrelevant if you claim that everyone should be judged as an individual. Even if it's 0.00001% or just one person in the world. On that one percent you projected if not your racist judgement then at least an incorrect judgement influenced by racism. Is it fair? Do you want to be treated that way?
Yes & I've experienced much prejudice & racism from white people in the UK. Does it make me tar them all with the same brush- NO. Does it make me hate them- NO. As Billy says most human beings are complex & flawed creatures that don't always do what is logical & what is ideal.
Also, I'm not trying to justify racism here. Merely explain inherent cultural differences which will have an impact on a choice of partner/marriage decision for anyone (regardless of race) & for you to single out the Asian community as inherently more racist is a) unfair and b) Prejudicial (even racist itself)
I'll reiterate. It's a problem in the British muslim community, in London where they have large Somalian and Arab muslim communities I'm told that the exact same problems exists that I've witnessed in the Asian muslim community.
I personally think that racism and ethnocentric behaviour is a deep problem in the UK muslim community that isn't addressed or accepted by most muslims - apart from converts.
The largest ethnic muslim group - to my knowledge - in the UK are Asians, so most of my personal experience, and most other converts experience is with the Asian muslim community. Sorry if seems I'm singling them out.
Like I wrote before I believe based on experiences, and the experiences of others that the majority of Asian muslims are racist, or extremely ethnocentric to the point of exclusion. I've heard racist remarks during my time as a muslim from the most 'moderate/welcoming' muslim dudes in the community.
It's not something that I'm not open to challenge, but around Britain you'll see 'imported' imams, predominantly one ethnicity catered for in the mosques, and if you speak to the majority of converts they'll relay stories of direct racism or exclusion due to the ethnocentric nature of the community. That has been my consistent experience.
In light of what I witnessed - and still witness - I simply believe that the majority are racist. I might be wrong but I would have to witness a radical change in the structure of the Asian muslim community to believe otherwise.
I've experienced racism from white people throughout my life too, however I've experienced much more indifference to my race and inclusion from white people than during my time in the Asian muslim community.
To be fair so that it doesn't seem like I'm focusing on Asian racism - most of the parents/guardians of white girls I used to date were racist, and I did at one time contemplate not dating white women again because it began to piss me off.
Also like I wrote I do have racist inclinations. Even my wife (who I explained is half black, half asian) has an aversion to Asian people due to her experiences - even her fucking (Asian) dad has made racist remarks.
We'll have to agree to disagree regarding my belief that the majority of Asian muslim are racist.
