Wainy316 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 OK, serious cap on. http://itooamoxford.tumblr.com/ Some have probably seen it. Worth a gander. Hardly any of them are malicious just bore through lack of knowledge. In Korea somebody assumed I was gay because I was Western and no Koreans are gay, and an American asked me if I knew somebody from Germany on the basis of me being European.

Wainy316 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 They assume all westerners are gay? Not all but there's a high probability because that's "where all the gays come from". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Korea somebody assumed I was gay because I was Western and no Koreans are gay, and an American asked me if I knew somebody from Germany on the basis of me being European. Locals here keep assuming English isn't my first language. Oh, and the Chinese who know that I'm Singaporean keep assuming that I don't speak or write Chinese. As a result, I often get treated by new acquaintances in a manner that feels condescending to me. None of it is malicious, but it's quite annoying.

And there, yer honour, is why it is a good campaign. kind of vaguely linked to this my nipper has just brought home the school photo of the entire year group and it's content was, er, slightly unexpected 182 kids in the photo plus 12 teaching staff of the 194 faces the breakdown was: 'white' 189, 'asian' 5, 'black' 0 of the 5 Asians, 3 are of Chinese background (anecdotally according to my nipper) of the 'white' contingent, again anecdotally, there are quite a contingent of Polish, guessed at about 7 or 8 plus a few other east Europeans and 2 French I can only explain this as a strange quirk of that year group, to walk around town, it's a far far more cosmopolitan place than that.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I think I live in the whitest part of the UK. It really is quite something. I was at least 13 before I met a person of colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted March 17, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted March 17, 2014 I have stumbled into a shop known as "The British Aisles". The purchase of HP Sauce is a given. Are there any other UKian things that VT recommends I purchase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Back in June last year I put a claim in for some PPI (the bank actually contacted me to tell me I may be owed some) they said no at first but they have sent me a letter to say that I am actually owed £135, I have heard that you should go through the FOS procedure and you almost always end up getting more. Anyone else gone through this, should I just take the money or should I pursue it through the financial ombudsmen service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
