    Op, thats not racist, it's just formatting.
    You should appologise to your friend,
    and also reboot him.

    Gandhi was a noted racist, his bugbear was the African blacks where he'd often throw around the kaffir term (the equivalent here would be N1gger)

    H felt that the Indians were seen on the same level as Africans.

    Quote
    "A general belief seems to prevail in the colony that the Indians are little better, if at all than the native savages of Africa. Even the children are taught to behave in that manner, with the result that the Indian is being dragged down to the position of a raw Kaffir"

    Still, I bet when you defended the taxi driver there and then it showed your friend that they were out of line? You did do that, didn't you? I mean you wouldn't just keep quiet and then run to boards to post, now would you?

    Well I have seen a lot about Albanians and in my experience they generally try to kidnap your adult daughter while the remainder will try avenge the death of the family you killed.

    Why would he open his mouth about it?If his friend was ill mannered enough to abuse a lad who was dropping them home, he more than likely is not the type of person to listen to reason and be prepared to change his way of thinking.

    Arguing with these type of people isnt going to get you anything except a headache.

    Why?

    He is not much of a mate if the o/p is afraid to talk straight to him.

    In the o/p's shoes I would of kicked off big time for being a wanker and putting me in such a ****e situation.

    Grow a set ffs.

    And where would that have got you? Would the racist friend listen to you and suddenly realise the error of his ways? And then shook hands with the taxi driver and apologised to him?

    It would have done nothing but aggravate the situation and made it even worse for the taxi driver.

    So this guy gets away with being a racist and a bad friend because the people there were too weak to stand up to him?!:confused:

    Its no wonder society is as it is because people are to weak/scared to stand up to idiots like this!

    Its the same with bullys which in fact this guy also seems to be!
