I agree its not an issue if the UK as people aren't as likely to die in police custody here as they are in the US but if you are black you are more at risk of dying in police custody than if you are white.

Percentage of those arrested there’s nothing in it. More chance of a white arrested person dying in custody.

But based on those figures if you were black you have more of a chance of dying in police custody than a white person.

It happens more often to white people because the UK is made up of 85% white people.

Tell them what? No-one is making the arguments you are. Do you hate yourself because you're white or what? You are obsessed with trying to use it as an insult.

Go down to butetown tell them you think they shouldn't have been protesting about racism today in the city centre

Let me know how you get on

[J R Hartley]

Have the chinese community in the uk suffered from racism and discrimination on a level the afro Caribbean community have ?

Yes or no ?

Every night. I remember someone wrote Hong Kong Phoeey sucks Jim’s chicken balls in permanent marker on Jim’s chinese in Penydarren when I was a kid.

[J R Hartley]

“Tell them” is a bit racist isn’t it?

If you are of chinese origin and have suffered discrimination on the scale you say you have I am amazed you dont have empathy with the protestors

You have spent most of this thread slagging them off

Very odd

I am going to bed

Can’t believe a ****ing prick would do that... sorry to hear that you had to see that

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

tell who?

The people of butetown who travelled up to the city centre today to protest

It's better than messing about on this thread , it's full of the same old arguments

Tell them you think their protest is pointless and has nothing to do with what happened in america

Let me know how you get on

So you want me to go door to door with a printout of the BBC article that proved you wrong and tell the people of butetown that white people are statistically more likely to die in police custody? what the **** does that achieve mun? go to bed

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Thank god for that. Remember to take those clown shoes off before you do.

So are you chinese ?

And you have suffered discrimination

Yet you have spent this thread having a go at protestors , mostly peaceful , in this country protesting against racism ?

I am sorry but if you are what you say you are then you are very odd

Take care of yourself

Well I think behind this arguement , before you got offensive was your view that the protests in this country were pointless as police brutality in this country was not a problem on the scale it is in the united states . I think you will find most of the people on that protest today are against discrimination

It's pointless, looking at this thread , trying to persuade a group of mostly , almost exclusively white blokes on here that these protests are futile

What do you think ?

All I did was prove your stupid claims to be bullshit. If someone from butetown told me police kill black people disproportionately like you did I'd tell them the same thing, you are conflating US issues with ours and I have proven multiple times that they aren't the same

Protests could be about anything and I'd be against them because of the coronavirus risk(ironically it will kill more black people than your claims about police), if I went to butetown to tell "them" what I told you then I'd be breaking the WAG's 5 mile rule which would make me a hypocrite. Why even say you're off to bed but you're still here screeching about butetown like it's Compton you numpty

I’m not chinese I was just being sarcastic.

Someone did write it though. Probably a kid. It did upset Steven, Jim’s son, who used to bother with us. But probably because his nickname was Phoeey after the cartoon character so he thought someone was saying he sucked his fathers balls.

I’m not saying it’s right now in 2020 but in 1986 I’m sure it was just meant to be a joke and not incite any racial hatred. We were less educated to other cultures then.

We have never had many BAME folk in Merthyr. Plenty of Italians and then later the Chinese then Indians were as exotic as it got. In the last 20 years the Polaks and the Portugese have come here for a better life. The Portuguese in particular have embraced the community and have opened several bars and restaurants in a certain part of town, it’s like Little Lisbon. I remember when they beat us in the Euro semi final a couple of idiots went up to one of their bars looking to start trouble but they were soon sent packing by the more decent Merthyr folk.

The Polaks keep themselves to themselves more. Caused a few problems in town with their violence. Hard bastards to be fair.

There was an area of Merthyr given the name 'China' because it was such a disease ridden shithole, where many of the residents were better off in prison because they had food and could wash. As for the word 'Polak' i wouldn't call them that, they don't like it Merthyr is one of the whitest places on the planet.

Very long established jewish and Ukrainian community in merthyr

Not a lot of people know that

[J R Hartley]

So are you chinese ?

And you have suffered discrimination

Yet you have spent this thread having a go at protestors , mostly peaceful , in this country protesting against racism ?

I am sorry but if you are what you say you are then you are very odd

Take care of yourself

I thought you was off to bed?

If you think protesting in the tens of thousands in the middle of a pandemic is sensible then you are a fool. The cause is irrelevant, Covid, like mental health, does not discriminate.

I know for a fact if tens of thousands were protesting for a cause you didn’t feel strongly about you would be swivel eyed and frothing at the mouth.

Very interesting. I want to visit the bars. Not sure if it’s because I want to check out Portuguese bars, or am drinking more during lockdown, or want to go to a bar after staying home for like 2/3 months

Research the history of your own town

Jewish people settled in merthyr when it was wales biggest towns and one of the first synagogues in wales was set up in the town

Long before the recent eastern european immigrants arrived people from the coal mining areas of the Ukraine came to work in the mines around merthyr

Lots of eastern european and Ukrainian immigrants came to merthyr in the 19290s and their names remain today

In the days of the valley rams one of the buses from merthyr was run by a bloke whose grandfather was ukranian

The plans for Merthyr synagogue which was bought by a Jewish heritage and cultural society is to turn it into a historical Jewish centre. I can see the population of Galon Uchaf queuing up to get in on opening night.
