Can I add a thought here? Germans are the the same 'race' as us - white Caucasians - so they can't be insulted by 'racist' remarks. They are not a different tribe either, they just happen to live somewhere different from us. Besides, I like the Germans: they work hard and play hard. They also make very good motor cars....

I believe the English language derived from an ancient Germanic dialect.
 
What ever ism you want to call it I just want to say it all depends on the group bump into. We have just spent a good winter in the Algarve and had no problems with the Germans we met, they were all very nice, the troublemakers if there were any were the Cloggies who were even more cliquey than the Brits.
 
funny you should mention them-3 of my kids worked in various factories and building sites,with a lot of Irish,and they reckoned the anti Brit and irish racism was relentless and nasty

It's universal. My consultancy work over 20 years took me into literally dozens of British works canteens and smoking areas and the majority view was 'get 'em out!' irrespective of race, origin or religion. The hate expressed took me by surprise at first but I got used to it!

"“I’m a free market economist – we operate in a free market. If these people want to come here, and work the hours they are prepared to work for the wages they are prepared to work for, then so be it,” he said."
That remark was not from the pizza firm.....but from Marks and Spencers boss
Edit....sorry....former M+S boss

whilever the British boss is allowed to get away with exploiting his workforce ,he will do so .it is illegal to pay less than the minimum wage in this country ,but companies are allowed to flout the law ,they can and do get away with it .this is why there should be unions in this country and every worker should join one .
i was a big believer in the closed shop, everybody in the union then the workers were adequately covered . there rights looked after .

From our experience this winter in Spain it would be because they were German. They are arrogant and will not be told, but they love telling other and laying the law down that suits them. Obviously you cannot generalise. We met some very nice Germans.

Think my Mrs must be German then.
Will not be told. Love telling others (me) what to do. Laying down the law that suits them. Does it sound familiar to you?
I think the whole female gender must be German!
 
think youve got probs mine is of Sicilian decent .i am off when the cement comes out
 
I'd like to commend Mick H and a pitifully-few others for making a stand against the bigotted Alf Garnetts of this world, especially those who choose to skulk around in the shadows using anonymous log-ins to spread their intolerance.

Subsequent posters seeking to show that "germaness" was an essential part of the post completely miss the reality that there have been plenty of posts here complaining of similar behaviour by local yokels right here in Britain and that it is people behaving badly rather than those of any specific race, gender or creed.

Those that complain about how PC Britain is nowadays seem to miss the point that PCism has come about solely because of their attitude.

i suppose we all have to congratulate the Aussies on there imigration record and how they treat there indigenous people .true Australians not ex cons from england
 
But wasnt it....wait for it...the BRITISH ex cons that treated them badly from the start??????? and who set up goverment....so really that arguement is null. yet again just another point to show how BAD we are
 
yes you're not wrong .but classing a person as being racist just because he may not want to be surrounded by one particular set of people is wrong . my ex boss pritpaul a sikh guy .salt of the earth .but he disliked Muslims intensely .most Pakistanis hate most Indians .that may be racism when you hate some other race .i have never heard anyone on here dish out hate towards any other race or religion or other type of person no matter how odd they may be or act to some .racism is a word often used by people that haven't a clue what there on about but think they need to look good in others eyes

Nothing to do with racism: Xenophobia rules OK!

"Intense or irrational dislike or fear of people from other countries" with the accent on 'irrational'!
