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.

You missed the point of my post. To say it's Pakistani people you have a problem with. And then tell the story you told? I wasn't even referring to your comments on the 'middle eastern gentleman' as you referred to it. Can you not see the way people may view your posts?

You keep on using personal experiences to back up your arguments. Whilst I don't deny that they happened as you say they did, many people find it difficult to accept as a valid stand point.

Did you think about taking the words 'middle eastern' out of the sentence? As a female anyone who gropes women would come under the same umbrella for me. And I assume you think the same. But the language you sometimes can give people a different take on what your trying to say.
