He was banned from the establishment, and as a result drafted a letter of complaint threatening action against them for being racist. The pub manager went back on his ban and he is now allowed back in the premises, he used the race card as a threat when it had nothing to do with his race or skin colour but everything to do with the way he conducted himself.]

Whilst I can see, sort of, that you do not mean to imply anything untoward in your posts, can you not see that the language you use and the way in which you construct your sentences will lead people to think otherwise?[/QUOTE]
Am I supposed to like these middle eastern gentlemen who grope women?
There are white males who grope women but it is not as commonplace, to see these middle eastern appearance men groping women is not something I am happy with. If it were one white male or a group of white males they would generally be ejected from the premises straight after a complaint, but we have a fear in this country of treating people equal. I would go as far as to say a white man conducting himself in this manner would be more likely to be on the end of a physical attack.
I am not sure if it is common practice in some countries to help yourself and grope women like they are a piece of cattle in the marketplace, but very few people find it acceptable in our culture.
The Pakistani man was not banned because he was dark skinned, a different appearance to anyone else or because he followed a different religion. he was banned because he acted like a dirty pervert and was only banned after numerous complaints for touching women in a 'not very gentlemanly way' in more than one licensed premises. It is however a shame that the manager did not have the common sense to enforce the ban, but instead chooses to bow down to a threat by somone who says they will report him and have the local newspaper involved.
Fair treatment works both ways, it is not a one way street. To be treated fairly you have to treat others as you expect to be treated yourself. I fail to see how the guy could show his face in the place again after being banned for such conduct.

Because I chose my girlfriend because of her personality, looks and her kind nature. Filipinos are noted for their caring kind nature and they can get on with just about anyone. (yes even me)
Filipinos are not that different to the majority of us though, there are people from countries in Asia that they are not keen on. The same can be said of Africans and it certainly can of Carribeans.
Oh, if we want to play the my girlfriend is etc, they have been.
Welsh
English
filipino
Jamaican
Zimbabwean
South African
Cameroon
Nigerian
Gambia
I have also been on dates with women from many other different Carribean, African and one other Asian country.
I think many people make the mistake of someone speaking their mind as racist, or better still its an easy label to use when feeling uncomfortable with the truth.
