Joke at Reading yesterday. Racism is one thing nobody can level at us.
In my youth I used to regularly walk down from Ely to the City and back up again in a gang that could vary from 4 up to 20. We were like the League of Nations back then with all colours and creed.
We’ d sometimes get into bother and have a few scrapes along the way, and we’d laugh at anything, but the different colours of our skin was the furthest thing from our minds.
I can only vouch for Ely and Canton as they are the only 2 places I’ve lived, but I’d wager It’s the same all over the City.
It’s one thing I’m so proud of about my home town.
You will always get individual and isolated incidents, but as JtJ has posted above, they are very rare.
