Asians on the most part are black or mixed. So they are black ans asian.

Please educate yourself.

Er, no.



Agreed.

Asians are, Chinese, Japanese, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Indian, not Jamaican.

That is comment is both ignorant and probably racist too, please go back and to school.

This made me chuckle, but swiftly followed by a face-palm!

Some people's ignorance really is astounding though!

East Enders regardless of characters is not very good. They introduce diversity but the wrong type. Who wants to see a woman with her head covered. We see enough of diversity in real life without it thrust upon us every 5 minutes on TV.

Don't do that Scrabbs you can create whatever topic you want, it's a interesting discussion, some people find it uncomfortable but that's their problem, I think with all that been going on recently in relation to race discussion it's relevant.


Hmm....No not true.


This.

I am glad. As soon as I saw the thread I knew it would lead to all sorts. I don't even watch EE but opened the thread. I like diversity but diversity with research. I think the diversity shown on TV is half baked and cause no end of problems.

I've seen a lot of gobshite posted on here before, but this post takes the bloody gold medal.

BRAVO.

Emmerdale has 2 Asian families including mixed race.....Coronation street 'black' cast are mixed race and also with Tyrones daughter that is 4... and Corrie actually has 2 Asian familes....

Yes your correct, I forgot Dev and his kids and little ruby, Jason is mixed race, I wasn't sure about Luke and his sister, but most would probably say they're black instead of mixed race.

Emmerdale who else? I know the actress who plays Layla is Iranian but it was never said if she plays a mixed race character on screen, Rakesh and his son I would say is a extension of The Sharmas.

Maybe a new irish family for Enders.

Because from the top of my head i was thinking east-asia i get abuse... Nice. Keep it going. Maybe i should of specificed NOT WHITE. Mixed is half black and the yellow from the others can often be overlooked. Such an over reaction. I never said entirely black (or not white a
Like i meant) in the first place.

Now you're digging yourself into a hole. Instead of taking the defense, maybe you should have apologised to those you might have offended. I think the main problem is that you seem to not know what you're talking about, which is why I suggested that you educate yourself. This is a sensitive subject to which people can become easily offended. So be more mindful.

Im sorry tk those offended but it was an innocent mistake.

Maybe i should become a punch bag and not defend myself. Even in real life i dont seem to have that right.

Either way just because i made the mistake is not a reason to critise me and hate on me after the first has pointed it out. I find it rude towards
Me makes me in a lose-lose sotuation becausw when i stand upmfor myself...it gets worse.

Wasn't offended at all, takes a lot for me to be offended, just thought it was funny really.
