Get a gang of white people together and they’ll make lots of racist comments. That’s just how homogenous groups are. I’m as guilty as anyone. The most openly racist i’ve come across are Americans from the deep south. I worked in Sudan and the Arabs classed themselves as white people even though they were very black. African Sudanese were black people they were all Muslims though. I never felt any fear in Sudan. Russia frightened the life out of me.
How did your wife get on in the Sudan? In Saudi Southern Asians are the bottom of the racial totam pole because so many are taken in to the country as modern day slaves. We are not allowed to send Indian heritage folks to the camp in Kuwait as it pisses off the janitorial staff that they have to clean for folk they see as their own cast.

I never lived in Sudan just went for a week or ten days a month to check up on my staff. The white ones had no problems but the Africans found it hard. My wife never had a problem when she came with me especially as she was a Vet and the person we reported to with the farms was a Coptic Christian woman who also was a vet. On the farms we had Phillipinos and Nepalese they had two year contracts at the start their passports were taken and returned after two years. My wifes aunt and uncle moved to Dubai in the seventies from Kenya. He set up Emirates Airline and she was a teacher. They did very well they set up schools educating the childrren of the Indian middle classes. However not all are equal and it’s pretty rough for those at the bottom who these days tend to mainly come from Pakistan. Qatar and Saudi are recruiting a lot of Kenyans these days. If you are poor these places must be dreadful.
A total twit He hasn't a clue and I don't understand why what with their ageist policy that they havnt sacked him by now ? Or is that policy just for the Women that they employ?This dipsticks doing an "Attenborough" now

Looks like Clarkson is learning how to farm properly thoughJeremy Clarkson on Instagram: "Why is he wearing a hat and a high visibility jacket? It’s a field for crying out loud."

One of the comments on Clarkson's post was a farmer filming on YouTube his own sugar beet harvest and British Sugar insist he take the video down as he wasn't wearing a hard hat and high viz. Clarkson even commented "you're kidding right?"
Yes you are correct, I managed to cope reasonably well in Russia, basically blanked out the ignorance after a few trips & only had 1x incident involving mild gun crime/ violence directly though they are crazy & there was plenty happening on the periphery of our activities involving bribery, corruption & violence..........some of which was comical more than tragic
He'll enjoy ploughing that sticky shite.
really? i cant see that hes the sort of bloke to do any practical thing "properly" as you put it proven there by the fact that he cant even be bothered to oil up the plough and pack it away under cover when not in use.
I believe the plough may be in use in that picture which probably adds more weight to your argument.
American true story crime thing on telly last night, a murdered girl was described as " light black" which was a new one to me. Logic would say that means grey,but it turned out not!
He probably just bought it with rust in situ
I see your coloured and I raise you ' mixed heritage '. Or as we call them here pointies as in point fives.American true story crime thing on telly last night, a murdered girl was described as " light black" which was a new one to me. Logic would say that means grey,but it turned out not!
My sister in law lectures in Cardiff Uni and it's drummed in to staff that using the term "coloured " is pretty much a sacking offence,unyet there's a " coloured people of America " association in the USA. I'm no racist at all but I think I could be one by mistake depending on where I go. Better stay home
Possibly

Think of the term coloured. It implies a difference to the norm. My wife isn't coloured. Brown is her colour. Terms of reference change.
But is she a person of colour? Not trying to be smart but I hear people say this too?
To a white person she is. That's not meant to be accusatory either. Ask her what colour her skin is and she'll tell you brown.
