Racism
I was on a train yesterday from Glasgow to Greenock, and some blokes came and sat near me, this in itself wasn't unusual. They had been drinking and were fairly loud, again something i didn't find unusual, what i did find unusual was some of the things they said.
It's also sad to hear people being racist especially when they seem to be playing up to the group, admitedly these weren't teenagers or even blokes in the 20's probably a mix of 30's to 40's, but still it made me feel sad when i heard what they were saying. It worries me that something like this is still around, i guess i've always been sheltered to it, when i live no one would dream of saying something like that and certainly no one in my family holds these views. All i can say is that i hope we're educating people to think differently now, "black bashing" just isn't on in my view.
Just felt like i needed to say that....................
