At least nowadays, even the people with dodgy attitudes built in from birth are force fed some small smidgen of self awareness which might bloom into an enlightened outlook eventually.

    This is why my post above occurred to me; its unfamiliarity which allows people not to address the issue (or just the facts really) in their own heads and stay in their tribal comfort zone "

    Exactly! That's the weird, because if i was a white kid, would i have a problem with being mates with the "casual racists" in that pub? Would i be any different to my flatmates.. i don't knwo if i would.. i mean if they all treat me so well, and they are not OVERT about their views.. why would you even care?

    • probably not eh? but if it came up a few times and you were confronted with it, you'd hope it would nag a bit at least eh?kelpie
    • Yeah. I think i am a little disapointed in them. ah well.Khurram
