There’s racists and xenophobes in EVERY country and every race.

I’ve been racially abused by Pakistani’s on our very own Hawthorns pitch.

I’ve had the Welsh turn from talking fluent English to then speak in Welsh as soon as they’ve realised where I’m from.

What narks me is that it’s always portrayed as middle and old aged white people as rabid racists when everyone who’s commenting on this thread is intelligent enough to know that racists come in all colours and creeds.

To go back to the original point I do tend to agree, there seems to be a lot more sympathy for the Ukrainians coming here than their was for Syrians.

I take Al’s point though, we have huge numbers of women and children wanting safe haven from the Ukraine whereas we had a majority of young Syrian and other nations men coming over on air beds.

The difference is striking.

I wish we could avoid the hassle these threads cause though.
