Sorry to hear of your recent experience of bigotry. Unfortunately there are a few narrow minded individuals in all walks of life. You would think that by 2012 we'd have learned to embrace our different cultures instead of deriding them. Hopefully these type of people are in the minority and may eventually open their eyes and realise that we're all on this planet together so we'd better learn to get along. Till then, ignore them and enjoy meeting real Aussies, whatever country they come from.

What a horrible email to have received...bloody hell, what is wrong with people ?????? I truly hope you reported that email to the Administrators at RHP - Im sorry but I find that type of behavior unacceptable in this day and age....thank god you never swung with them...imagine that...!!! and hell arent we all on here looking for basically the same thing, irrespective of race, religion, creed, profession etc Youve just got to shake your head and move on, and file this experience't in the ""WTF"" folder......some people have no idea Nice profile btw, love the Irish (how could you not ?) and a Happy St Patricks day to you both (coming up) xx

...and hopefully as we move toward being truly many nations and races living amongst a global community, there will be no tolerance left in the world for racism or bigotry. It's fine not to like an individual based on merit...but it's not remotely acceptable to paint any race or nation with a single brush. I continue to see people post here that will say "I do not like Asians" quite summarily and whilst I find that disgraceful simply feel pity for them, ignore them then move along. | One day, it will disappear...but until then, we can only be tolerant of the ignorant. | Enjoy the journey.....

I know a lot of context is lost with the written word these days, especially as people aren't used to conveying intent and emotion via email without the copious use of emoticons, but was that for real that email? It sounds to me like someone was taking the piss.

Hatred and war, obviously. Religion seems to be too often compatible with racism. Then there's Pauline Hanson but on the flipside to that, thankfully, she's not compatible with swinging.

Chasing midnight.. I would like to think you are right about "oneday..." mate: but, unfortunately, I can't see it. The more I study the human psyche, the more I understand why they waorld has lost 80 civilizations to hatred, greed and war, and why, this "Civilization" is probably doomed to the same outcome. Irishhotsexycpl: I am sorry you face this garbage.. :( However, maybe I am just as bad in my own way.. I own virtually every song "The Wolfetones" have produced.. along with Luke Kelly and the likes.. and I guess my favourite "Non-black" T shirt is my green "Fighting Irish" one.. Of course.. it is a football team.. but, it IS provocative.... *shrug* Racism is insidious - maybe so much so that we often are guiilty of it ourselves, without even realizing so... just my thoughts.... Mixed up as only a caveman can be.. xx

Everyone has a certain look that they are drawn/attracted to .For some (including us) this look can come from any race or creed but for some people, coming from a certain background instantly does nothing for some and that is ok. We all need to feel some sort of attraction be it physical OR mental to be getting naked with them or it will be no fun for anyone.But abusing /shit stirring someone because of where they came from should strictly be kept between good mates Sorry that you have recieved this type of message as the vast majority of RHP ers that we have spoken to are nice people with some being very nice-lol BTW the Irish accent has to be the friendliest accent going around if that is not too rascist a comment to make.

but is it really racism? or just another manifestation of the general dislike and mistrust the English/Anglicans have for anything or anyone remotely Irish/Catholic? whatever it might be, its well and truly time that such bigotry was a thing of the past........

I know that intellectualy and ideologically I abhore racism and I have friends of many and varied nationalities. Still, I notice that I feel mistrust towards men of Middle Eastern appearance (not the women however) inspite of the fact that two of my closest friends are Lebanese Muslims. Wallid was my best friend at school (over three decades ago) and we remain in touch to this day. Isam was a workmate of mine. We had interests in common and got on well and have remained close friends fot twenty two years. I was the first to knock on the door of our Lebanese neighbors, when they moved into our street, and welcome them to the neighborhood. They were lovely people. There are several Islamic men who deliver goods to my workplace. They all know me by name and stop for a friendly chat. The real problem is the unsilent minority amongst the muslim youth. The truth is even my aforementioned friends, Wallid and Isam, are uncomfortable among other Muslim males who are strangers to them. They both had brothers who had joined gangs. Wallids brother would carry and automatic pistol in his belt while Isams brother is involved with outlaw bikers so there was some strife close to home. I'm not happy about, what I recognise as, racism in myself. I still feel suspicious of Middle Easterners untill I get to know them. In my defense, I've never had trouble with Europeans, Asians, Islanders or anyone else. Among the girls I went ut with as a youth, there was a black South African girl, an Australian Aboriginal, an Indian, Shri Lankan, South American, Greek, Italian and Chinese. My first wife's mother was from Singapore. Once comfortable, I have no trouble socialising with an crowd. My school mates used to call me an honourary wog. Infact, I feel most like a fish out of water among proper Ockers. Go figure.

Well done D_G_T and mikeandshel for carrying it on. I'm sorry that someone should attack anyone,whatever their ancestry. But you just exercised the same attitude towards the English or Pomes as you call them. So much for changing the status quo. I don't see races or nationalities just people. Whoever sent that message, whatever their nationality, if sent with malice, was totally out of order. So why make an issue and continue the bigotry. It was one individual. Don't class everyone from one country, the same. Yes I'm from England and I love the Irish. Even have relatives of Irish ancestry. But I don't differentiate between Catholic or Protestant, just Irish. I have friends from all over the world, all the colours of the rainbow. I work and socialise with them and treat them all the same. I don't think I am alone in doing that even though I'm a "pome". Actually aren't we all really Australian? Ps; This was not said with any anger or malice. Just had to point out the obvious anomaly with your comment :-)

Ps; This was not said with any anger or malice. Just had to point out the obvious anomaly with your comment :-) its an observation and a question...and its Historical fact that the English carry an attitude towards the Irish. its might not be how you behave, but its been our experience that the behavior and attitudes still live out there...I'm Irish (mike), and my wife is a Geordie, and we've struck it from within our own families........why? because its how they were raised....they are Protestants and we are Catholics....and thats neither our fault, nor our responsibility, and its certainly not how we behave as a couple, or as a family...... my comment was 100% open, and without even a hint of bigotry. That you took offence is something I'll not apologise for, as there was no offence intended. i think DGT also has no malice in her post, just an honest and intuitive observation...read what the OP posted, and tell me how its origin could be mistaken for anything other than bigoted? the references to "Irish Joke", "blow up places and people" and learning the "Queens English" are pretty common sentiments in England....try being an Irish Catholic at a Church of England wedding... besides....did i not say "whatever it might be, its well and truly time that such bigotry was a thing of the past........"? how could my sentiments be considered as "carrying it on"?

Stupid people are throughout all areas of the world, we thought that as swingers are a minority there would be a more open and understanding attitude to races, genders etc etc. but sadly there are unpleasant people everywhere, you just need to talk to people and find out before you make any decisions.well...thats what we do :)welcome to OZ :)

These traits can be used to form charicatures as representations of those nationalities for humorous effect. The greatest master of the Irish joke was Dave Allen, an Irishman himself and sadly missed. Tmax2012, I think D_G_T was just inserting a bit of humour into the fray without meaning any actual offence and without feeling any true malice. I'll bet irishhotsexycpl know all the best Irish jokes. You should go to the "making ourselves popular" thread and share them.

To those who took offence to Mike and DGT, you all may want to re-read what they wrote. Neither was intended to be offensive, Mike was adding some personal experience and DGT was trying to add some humour. Obviously, a lot is lost when things are written down/typed but I know neither of these two people intended to cause any offense to you guys. I know they both despise racism as much as I do.

I'm so sorry , as the guys above have said, it really was said in jest....and for the record I was taking the pee out of the Aussie butchery of the language too I have nothing against Poms lol....ummm I married one the biggest point I'd like to make though is this......when we can no longer make fun of ourselves we are going to take offence at anything and everything, and yes I include myself in this as I've lost my sense of humour a few times and blown my stack right here on the forums. But , if I'm wrong, I will always apologise and to prove that I don't hold anything against the English, I did have a bit of one in me for 13 yrs so my children are half Pom and half Aussie convict Lol.........however I've done my time now and Im out the other side

Whether it was in fact from a Pom or another background, the person who sent that email WAS most defiantely a wanker Racism has no place in the bedroom or elsewhere, and experiencing different cultures is to be embraced, for example: I like Lebanese boys, I think they're pretty and would certainly like to embrace them lol.

people would do much better if they actually understood the nature of the relationship between the British and the Irish....... and understand the history of it. the ill feelings have been there since the Romans left Great Britain.....in oh...400ad or so.... and they have been simmering ever since. we dont like it, but its a well documented and long established fact of life. the attitudes have been impressed upon the Brits and the Irish, at all levels...from the government, to the church, to the education system, and even the penal system. this isnt our fault, its not something we had anything to do with, but it exists even today...the message sent to this couple certainly reflect that... which is what we were asking...... whether or not it was what we thought it may be.... (and thats not saying its something we support)..........and that was.............but is it really racism? or just another manifestation of the general dislike and mistrust the English/Anglicans have for anything or anyone remotely Irish/Catholic? whatever it might be, its well and truly time that such bigotry was a thing of the past........ffs people, grow up, read a post in its entirety, and if you dont understand.....ask for clarification! dont jump on your high horse and accuse us, or DGT, of being racist, as its so far from the truth its ridiculous! asking if its a general dislike or mistrust is hardly racist or bigoted, its actually deliberately worded to not cause offense. our position is, and always has been, one of conciliation, as we are a family of blended race and ethnicity..... being branded as racist or bigoted is offensive...in every way....perhaps you can explain this also to my own indigenous foster brothers, or my chinese-malay foster brother (hes a methodist minister), or our indigenous daughter in law, and our beautiful grandaughter.......

"Hey,you! I'm sick of you and your Irish jokes! I'm Irish and I want to tell you, we are not all idiots!" The ventriliquist was very apologetic. "I'm sorry, sir.

I honestly could talk for hours about the fundamental psychological and biological aspects of humankind, explaining why our civilization will never defeat racism: Although we may find someone occasionally who is humanitarian, or even something close to altruistic, I tend to think we are generally all somewhat racist. Sure, we can overcome this NATURAL tendency when there is something in it for us (.. and really???? surely sex is waaaaay up there for a good reason to NOT be so....) but, it seldom takes a quantum shift in a persons head to have them revert to their trueness. Remember.. to even turn to a male workmate and say "Stop being a girl" "typical bloody yanks.." "bloody poms always bitching about something..." "we hired a couple of Paddy's to do the concreting.."

Racism and sexism is live and well in Australia, it hides behind faux political correctness. Listen to the rants of some politicians it's out there. Talk to people from minority groups, they experience it. Sometimes it's subtle, often it's not ...a car full of bogans yelling abuse as they drive away. This site is just a cross-section of Australian society with a common interest.

Racism and ignorance walk a fine line and then there's the new stuff that's not so obvious but it's implying the same thing. The govt and the media are experts at it and it's quite common now. I've been fortunate enough to have had relationships with European girls (gotta love workin backpackers) two of which were Irish nurses. The latter were my favourites because of their honesty and very genuine, no ego openess. These qualities are probably something that aussie's have inherited in their attitude. Europe is more mature and open minded compared to Oz and we're still figuring stuff out unfortunately and a lot of people are in denial about how they act, or we act as a nation. Growing up in a mainstream school there was a lot of ignorance but generally everyone was great. The racism I experienced was more direct where people would come up and tell me what they thought of black people or yell stuff from passing cars. The usual stuff- nigger, black c, coon ect. Thankfully our society has grown a bit and my nephews and nieces aren't coping it so blatantly. It sad to think that these wankers feel threatened by people they know nothing about. I seen your profile and they're missing out on two very hot cool people. The Irish Rock!

Excellent comment....a racist comment on an anti racism post...yes I am a pom...and yes I find that offensive....what if I said you were an aussie sl*t...would you be offended? Because you obviously didnt read the following comments about how I married one and you obviously ALSO couldn't see the irony in my comment as humour. I did apologise if it was taken the WRONG way, but there will always be one or two who feel the need to keep kicking a dead horse. How many apologies will satisfy your bloodlust Politemale? two?four? as an adult I wouldnt expect another adult to have to apologise more than once . If you want to call me a slut we might as well get all technical then, I was born here but I have more than Aussie in me...You can call me a French/Welsh/Aussie slut . And as far as the history I have read goes, the Irish haven't been blowing shit up or people in Australia!! so I doubt the Aussies would feel the need to send them a vicious email accusing them of such things. It doesn't take a genius to work that one out because it sounds like it's personal.

How sad and empty a life must that person have to actually sit down, devote their time , use an RHP message and type such ignorant and angry words. I pity them. You darlings be assured they are definitely a minority . I could sit and listen to Irish lilts all night. In fact I actually kept asking this irishguy out even Though he kept saying no just so I could hear his voice...ok ok his pecs helped too;) Just enjoy all of us here who are not red necked bigots.

Yes i know exactly what you are talking about. I still get it sometimes about my German heritage. I am 55 Years of age and had nothing to do with HITLER, however some people just dont let us forget..... Racism speak's the same slogans over and over again, doesnt matter against whom it is. .....yes it hurts sometimes.....and I wonne kick them. When you start asking them specific questions about this history of mine, you hear, they know nothing at all about history.....its just what other dumb ignorant peopel say.......and blae blae follow the sheep.

We grew up long after world war two. Here in Australia after school, back in the 1960's we watched a tv show called "Hogan's Heroes" which was a war spoof. For us, it was funny because of the unrealistic TV plots with ridiculous German, French and English accents by American actors. Nobody took it seriously, and we were all quite happy quoting Sargeant Shults with the old "I know nothink".... every time there was something we pretended not to see. I have never intentionally been anti German but I've insulted people by quoting some things from that TV series, without intending to. Just acting the clown. I hope you appreciate that what you might perceive as racism, is more likely a bit of fun at the expense of your accent, rather than any confirmation that people think less of you for it. Hugs Stalky

Thank you Stalky......most of the time I can stomach it, however sometimes people are just over the top. And when we think of it, everybody is a bit racist in some ways......Australians with the "ABBOS " as you call them, the English and the Irish and so on. I believe we in Australia are still the best and most accepted culture of so many differant rases as their can be. I am happy here and I hope really hope we can show the world it can be done. And it can be done, when we live beside each other and accept and embrace our varieties in cultures ,colours and believes. Only then will we be the greatest. Love you all, Ellen

I was told through e-mail that no Australian (causasian) women would be interested in me because I looked Dark or middle eastern.This came from a female member from this site which I sent a flits to. Well, I'm not "middle eastern", though I am dark and have dark features. But I can't believe in this day and age this still goes on. I've been living overseas for on and off for 7-8 years and never experienced racism until I came back to Sydney.Why do certain women hold such strong prejudices ?

dont mistake 'preference' for 'racism' tho... people have preferences based on 'aesthetics' that sometimes exclude people of one race or another....

...especially as at the same time I agree. It's just me being pedantic again so don't take too much offense at it. The "preferences" you're talking about would invariably stem from a deep set "racist" attitude. Semantics I know but then you know what I'm like. It doesn't make the preference any less real. It's like the distrust I hold for strangers of middle eastern appearance. Consciously, I abhore racism and yet I can not help but harbour it within me. So yes, Sist3m, although it will come as little comfort to you, many women do have a preference for someone other than of middle eastern appearance, yes it is racist but no it's not a deliberate act. For the sake of arguement, let's call it "passive" or "unintensional" racism. You apparently are not of Arabic descent but that won't change you being effected by this attitude if your own appearance suggests otherwise. What I can tell you is that this attitude is not universal and probably not even as widespread as you've been led to believe. There are still many women out there who are attracted to dark looks.

I have a personal preference for brunettes but that doesn't mean I can't recognise when a blonde or redhead are attractive and I have had girlfriends that were blondes and redheads. This girl was talking about men of middle eastern appearance being excluded from her priorities not low on them. I know how much you hate being disagreed with, Mike, but we weren't discussing your preferences, we were discussing the attitude of the girl who was communicating with sist3m. You can stick to your guns, if you wish, and say that her attitude wasn't racist but you'll be wrong.

I think racism stems from fear and ignorance of anyone who is from a different background and or culture.Predjudice is rife towards many groups in this country including ,the homeless,people with disabilities.the unemployed .The list is endless What a terrible and shocking experience for you both.At least you didn't meet this person,how much worse would that have been.These comments were NOT about personal preference eg I only like brunettes...this was a viscious attact on you both because of your cultural background. I recently read a womans profile,she had initiated a post that I wanted to reply to and she listed.'single white males only'. Was this a bad thing?Yes absolutely.Conversely it was also a good thing,said heaps about her attitudes and on further reading it became apparent to me that if I was a single white male I would run. Caveman if you are interested in this topic the work of Wolf Wolfensberger covers it thoroughly xH

choice = bias = proclivity = favoritism OF course, this lends itself to: mind set - narrow mindedness and intolerence. Single white males only!!!! Who knows why one would put that up... and, IS IT REALLY RACISM? I dont believe it is.. An 18 year old girl states "No one over 24 years old please" Should she be branded for not considering MY wants as an 52year old male caveman? and yet... IF i were to DARE state "Only 18 to 20 year old girls" I would be slaughtered by everyone who read it.. AND on the forums here.. IF it is acceptable to stipulate on age bias, WHY can you not accept Stipulation on race bias? SURE, the original posting by Irishhotsexycpl was refering to a message deliberately racist, but, were do we start.. OR end? Thank you Hesione.. I will keep my eyes open for his works.. :) caveman.. ( biased against - by moderization of womens perception of males) *grins*

As Mike had stated, racism is a deliberate act. What it is (and what I should have said all along) is that it's predjudice and this is the cause of racism which is why I called it a racist attitude. At some stage, the term racial predjudice stopped being used and was replaced by racism which is not strictly the same thing.

sist3m obviously feels differently caveman,but I still think its helpful to know what peoples attitudes are up front, at least if they are frank about their pedjudices then we know to avoid them. Did white people on the bus in Alabma have the right not sit next to black people...when does personal preference cross the line and become racism? ps caveman you might be surprised by my perception of men

...I toned down the language she used. If I simply c/p'ed what she exactly wrote, I think your jaws would have hit the ground. She used derogitory language and she her word for "middle eastern" was "Leb" I think meaning Lebanses, (which again, I am not) - I'm Australian first and foremost. The more I think about her message, the more ridiculous it sounds and I feel sorry for her. She mentioned things about assimilation and how she would instantly believe I was of "muslin" religion LOL. I respect and understand people preferences, but this was not the case. You have to understand preferences, especially on a site like this and I do. Usually if someone tells me that I am not of their type, I wish them the best and move on, but again this wasn't the case. Not once have I thought about it being racism based on someone preference, but in this situation it was obvious that this person needed help :)Thanks for your messages and the private messages of others, they made me feel great :)./Sasha Quoting 'jensman1903' I have a personal preference for brunettes but that doesn't mean I can't recognise when a blonde or redhead are attractive and I have had girlfriends that were blondes and redheads.
