- Racism in UK is NOT WHAT YOU EXPECT | Is the UK Racist?
Is the UK Racist? Racism in the UK is not what you expect, I can assure you of that. This is my personal account of racism that I and people I know have encountered in the UK.
If you plan on moving to the UK by getting a job in the UK and a work visa or as an international student with a student visa, you should know the facts about racism in the UK before you decide to make the move.

We are considering leaving the UK. For years we have been insulted, threatened and suffered unspeakably. I wasted years of my life in a country that hates me, threatened my child with death, and is now sick. Nobody can ever make it right again.
I'm so sorry this happened, there is no excuse to be honest. It's especially horrible when it happens to children. I hope things take a turn for the better for you.
I wish you luck. I left the UK for the same reasons. I still experience racism but in different forms. Still nowhere near as bad as the UK. I just thank god I wasn't knifed like Stephen Lawrence...
Where do you guys come from? India?
Sorry 😢to hear this
Why not just stay home?
I'm Indian and we faced racism in India. 😢😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I look Indian but not Indian..and Indian in uk is racist 2 me ..ppl of colour will and 4 ever b racist ..pointless blabbering on utube
I guess that hungry stomach don't aloud them to think straight 😂😂😂
Move to areas with more indians
@@rakeshmehra3657 😂😂🤣🤣😆😂🤣
Having lived in UK for over 20 years, and over 30 years in India, I can say that there is no Normalisation of Racism in UK unlike in India. The biggest propogators of Racism in UK has been two Indians, Priti Patel and Suella .
You obviously haven't gone to school in Britain.
I'm a Malayali Indian Hindu but unfortunately I was born, brought up and educated in Britain (PhD in physics from Warwick). As a young boy who went to school in Britain, I used to get into fights with either white British kids or muslim kids (mainly Pakistani or Iranian kids). They used to say so much shit about India, especially white English kids, I would say stuff back and they'd punch me and I would punch back.
White people in general don't like coloured people, including Indians. My parents came to Britain in the 1970's, to New Ham. Most white folks in the area sold up and left within 15 years. When you asked them why, they would say "I don't want to live next to a house that smells of curry".
Or maybe brit are not just straightforward...😅😅😅
literally the people from the oppressed groups do the oppressing im black and am so annoyed when i hear uk is racist yes some people are but compared to ukranians and other european countries they are so much better and more helpful.
At the end of the day as a man as long as i work hard i feel i will see results in whatever i do i always look inward before i look outward.
I think racism in the uk is just really subtle. You don’t see it until you actually try to see the undertones of some people’s actions. But it also depends who you are around.
Correction: racism in the UK is indirect. But it's there.
My English boss had been racist to me continuously for more than a year. I have moved back to India now
good, stay there
Hey did you raise it with the management? I’m so sorry you had to experience this.
@@acetylcoa6540 obey to your pm and law first
Exactly how the north-east Indians feel in the big cities in India. Funny how the world teaches one to stay grounded.
Sorry to hear bout the mishap.
I'm sorry mate. We're not different.
Yes I have heard about the North East Indians experience. Sadly all humans can be racist. I’m sorry that things didn’t work out better for you in the UK
During my university year in the UK, I’ve not really experienced racism in the big cities like London, Manchester, etc. But small towns and villages which are majority white I have many times. I’m from HK.
Ironically, many HK people are willingly emigrating to the UK. I'm curious whether you are one of those, having experienced racism in the UK.
Omg the cold shoulder was such a relief to hear! I feel like a crazy person for bringing this up to my white friends because they always say it’s just in my head but you literally have to experience it to know it’s real.
PEOPLE AT SHOPS ALWAYS KEEP INTERACTIONS WITH YOU AT A MINIMUM IF YOU’RE NOT WHITE, EVEN THOUGH YOU’RE A PAID CUSTOMER LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.
It’s good to know that I’m not crazy and it’s insane how different Canada is in comparison. Going out is a huge part of my life so small instances like these really add up to a very oppressive feeling in the UK…
Hello, that's exactly what I experience in the area I live and I regularly shopping.Some shopkeepers intentionally don't interact with me while friendly chatting with locals before and after me. You are not crazy, that's a typical phenomenon here. However, I would notice that there is racism in the country I'm from. I wish this world to be more friendly, diverse and multicultural.
You're completely right and, especially as a fellow sufferer, I'm so sorry you experience this.
I hope our wounds can be healed over time and I hope justice will be delivered.
Regardless of how minor or major, how subtle or obvious, the incidents are, racism is wrong.
This year my daughter in year one at a primary school on Leigham Court Road in London was told to go back to her country by a classmate. So we did just that. We are now back in our country and we were totally happy to leave that dump of a country. 😊
I'm so sorry that happened. Racism unfortunately is in every country. That being said, what the classmate said was absolutely horrid and I'd have reported the child so that no other innocent child has to put up with rubbish like your daughter. I hope she's happy and has a wonderful future.
Visited that place, was a disgusting dump yard. Never faced so much racism in my whole life. Not all people were that horrible to me, but I got stared down with a crude look at least once whenever I went out. I hate that place with all my heart. Sorry not sorry.
That’s sad
Hi Ashika, I am a British born Indian female, approaching age 30, and to this day, I've experienced direct racism. However it's not always from the people you'd perhaps most expect. I've experienced it from Black people and fellow Indian people. Today's painful incident was by two young British, Muslim, Pakistani girls, in a public library, in Greater Manchester area, who verbalised several disgusting opinion, loudly and unashamedly, about Indians, right when I sat down at a sitting area. And they kept blatantly staring at me and laughing. I am a resilient person (to say the least) but that doesn't mean these incidents don't hurt. Especially after all I've endured and with it being late May 2024.
And yes I must add that you spoke very well here.
I live in the uk for the past 22 years and the only racism i have been dealing with were by non natives . I find foreigner living in the uk more racist than the natives especially eastern european immigrants and i am black
100% true....they might have a British accent , but when you ask them about their origin, it will surely be the area you mentioned...happens always with me at my workplace
Great video. I meet so many folk who claim racism doesn't exist in the UK. But I think it can be extremely insidious because it's so under the radar sometimes, and it's basically impossible to tell someone who hasn't experienced it how consistent comments or acts can build. While a lot of people aren't outwardly racist, I still see a pattern of using words like "exoctic" and such to describe people who aren't white, and hell look at the sheer volume of harassment Megan got for daring to be half black. The news outwardly talking about what colour the baby would be was absolutely wild to me.
I worked for a while as a call taker on the 999s for the police, and it really opened my eyes even more to the sheer volume of unspoken racism that was around. Constantly getting reports of things that you'd be like "this doesn't seem like a problem" and then you'd ask for a description and hear that they're non white and instantly realise what was happening. Hell, I remember someone calling in about a bunch of middle eastern men with guns, and that she was certain they must be about to do a taliban attack. One of my colleagues rushed police there, and it was literally just a group of guys of Indian descent (so wrong nationality entirely for a start), who were like 100m away from a shooting range and were just meeting up as a group before they went shooting. People did that sorta thing all the time, perfectly legal (shooting parties are very normal in my rural neck of the woods), but I can guarantee that woman wouldn't have thought twice if those men had white skin. But we'd even get calls about someone walking through a neighbourhood being 'suspicious' just because they were black.
Goodness, you're absolutely right. The funny thing is, I don't know if some even realise what they're saying is racist
I am white Welsh and always get racist remarks from people in London when I go there ~ water off a duck's back. Ethnics need to grow a thicker skin. God love 'em. They can always seek another country more welcoming ~ though I doubt if they would find one.
very true. racism is part of uk culture because of rule and laws they dont say you verbally but you can always feel it is deep inside them.
back to india, curry
Then its not real! ^^^^^^^^This is nonsense^^^^^
@@deleted3792well... Let's say, about 90% of people in UK are not racists. But how it looks from the foreigners point of view? For us it means, that every 10th man we meet will show any signs of discrimination. Got what i mean? You see no haters, but we see them daily.
@@deleted3792it's real for some and not so for others. Every country has racists.
"inside them" now you seem the racist
London I would say is the least racist city of all. People up north are much more racist and I have had friends tell about their horror experiences in Scotland and Wales (spitting on their shoes and mocking them openly in public) and it can be a very lonely feeling battling it as an international student.
Spitting? WTF!
London isn't perfect but it is a tolerant city and welcomes all races other uk cities like Birmingham Manchester Liverpool are very racist and segregated locals don't like changed in their cities especially older English generation are very racist in these cities.
You can always return to your home country if you dont like it here and think we are racist.
I don't know why there is a rumour that Scottish people are kind and friendly because that is false, I found them to be extremely xenophobic even more so than the English
@kaylee1058 it's like anywhere it depends on the community you are a part of, Scotland had lots of pockets of diverse people and some areas that aren't, also you shouldn't just generalise entire populations over anecdotal experiences.
Thanks for talking about this. You have expressed something I experience everyday 😢. I feel much better that we can share these experiences.
I've been in the UK for more than 50 years. We as a family were severely targeted due to being Hindus. Our business was destroyed due to continuous harassment over 9 years. Arson, physical threats, criminal damage to premises. We lost our savings and family life as a result. I've recently realised that racism is endemic within British society due to Freemasonry so it is structural. So even if other groups also suffer they target Hindus the most. This is just one incident I'm relating. The reason I'm saying this is because 93% of doctors that died due to Covid were Indian, which was shocking to learn.
Racism is not specific if you are Hindu , it's generally Asian or colour of your skin, neither is good. Racist don't know the difference, but the Indian caste system is more prevalent and that racism is also not excusable. Your case is statically ? 0.1% otherwise thousands of Asian businesses, shops etc existing in UK have had the same level of harsh treatment then they would also all be closed. ? Your case is one off and you should have discussed it with the local councillor and police. It's not nice to hear what you've been through, the audience should be given a balanced view.
@@m.goodengumman3941 I don't think you've understood my point. Freemasons control the UK. These attacks are orchestrated by the Police and security services. They use youths to target people. Even today it's going on. Hence why the violence in Leicester happened. The mayor appears to be complicit. Now with AI and 5G its even easier to target people. My Sikh friend has been targeted to force her to move from her home by local Islamists who won't tolerate non Muslims in the area. The police won't intervene. So the term Asian doesn't apply.
Very bad exp u have I. Uk and I am u is there ....liveing ..why u don't return 2 we're u come from ..racist is is alll especially ppl of colour
The UK hate the Asian muslim population.
@@m.goodengumman3941 no there is a caste system in UK too... Royals, footballers, police, white Brits, the rest... etc.
Your a lovely lady and I can promise you that in my little area up in the valleys (Wales!) You would be greeted and accepted straight away, were all really friendly up here and it makes me feel sick that you can feel this way here xx
Hi Charlotte. I wouldn't doubt it. We visited Wales and everyone was so friendly. Absolutely loved it. Can't wait to visit again.
Racism is prevalent in UK! They will just ignore you or talk less to you! Isn't that enough to make you sad when you make all your way to UK and sorting things all alone as a student? But, just don't mind! It's okay! That's their perspective! Don't be discouraged and do not lose your hope! You have got a purpose to be here! Fulfill that! #stay hard
You have to be able to imagine that people just aren't very freindly or they just don't like you and its not about your skin.
Majority of English won't even talk to their mother. These people have lost every moral values. They do not care about they families, do you think they will care about you? I have heard countless of English who do not speak with their parents.
@@politicallyincorrect2564Indians move to uk and their parents live thousands of miles away in 3rd world country haha
Being black is the worst of it. Your skin instantly reveals your class and standard of respect you deserve. I work in a nursing home in England, Slough. The only people who show real respect are the healthcare assistants (carers) from the minority. The rest, I have to force them to Respect my leadership. Terrible and exhausting. Looking to change jobs now because they can easily cause me to lose my License.
back to Africa, Europe is white.
So sorry to hear that bro..hope you get a good job and well behaved colleagues soon..from one minority to other 👍🏾
With all due respect, yes Black people have long been oppressed and nobody in their right mind can ever deny this but you cannot just make generalised statements of this kind. It's very offensive. As a British Indian, I have been racially abused. I have worked as a complex carer and a black, senior, female carer persistently made comments on my ethnicity and religion and turned other carers against me.
I won't have people like you dismissing and belittling the very real, traumatic, painful and often fatal racism that British Indians and other ethnic minorities face.
It's not a competition. We should all be allies. Any form of racism is wrong.
Until we work together, nothing will improve for the greater good.
I live in Norfolk in the "fine city" of Norwich. Unfortunately, a very hermetic local community, I often encounter a hidden manifestation of racism, although I am from Poland and I do not distinguish myself by skin color, religion, or other aspects that could arouse reluctance. Despite this, one can sense the reluctance of people to other "non-English". All it takes is my accent and it works as a trigger. I immediately feel a change in the attitude of people's behavior, distance, withdrawal, etc .
I haven't been directly attacked because I'm athletic, quite large, etc., so my physical features may inhibit someone's bad intentions.
Unfortunately, in workplaces or places where there is a superior or I am in a situation of lower hierarchy of the company - situations of racism often happened, but covered with "care for the company, internal rules, law to work", etc.
Situations where a racist used a position in the company.
In general, a very complex topic, but it often appears when I talk to other friends (from other countries, other nations, etc.).
even you ( white man ) faced racism because of your polish heritage so what can i say ....im indian origin
English and other western europeans are born racist people .. its in their blood
Next time remember the british in Poland and tell them to go home
I worked in a hospital in Glasgow for 6 months and after hearing my accent people stopped talking to me and made no effort and think maybe out of all my time there in Glasgow the Scottish people only said like 10 sentences to me, Glasgow is the worst place I've been in the UK with xenophobia
@@kaylee1058 so sorry for you . Most europeans ( specially the british , germans, Dutch ,french ,scandinavians ) racist ignorant people when they see a non white person . But Bast...they forget that their food comes 80% out of europe . but time will change very soon
Sorry to hear that. I recently visited Norwich and loved it but can imagine it has that old English mentality.
Hello ma'am can you please guide to choose location between croydon Romford or rainham which is better for live for couples?
It's a crucial matter. When a person or family leaves everything behind, they are naturally mentally in a state of a lot of pain emotionally. At the initial stage, a single racist act can vigorously break someone down. @Ms. Ashika, Your suggestion and concern are not only helpful but also can work as mental support and it feels like there is someone who is standing beside the pain. Stay Blessed, Ms. Ashika.
It's good you tell us opportunities on how to move to the UK like easy route
Hey Ashika, I always look forward to hear your perspective. I must say you views on this topic are very Balanced and realistic. I understand when we migrate to another country, we got to be optimistic, but having a realistic expectation saves us from a unwanted trauma and definitely helps us to be better prepared.
Thank you for the kind words Pushpa. Yes its important to understand what's coming your way before making the leap.
While applying in it jobs they will very easily select people who are ilr but not who are on sponsor visa same cv gets shortlisted when a British citizen applies but not for others
So in all honesty, that might not be about racism, it's more about cost. Because if you are on a visa, it would mean they would have to sponsor and pay the costs towards sponsorship, which they don't have to do with citizens.
I came to UK in 1974 there was so much racism compare to now.
I lived in Durham for 2 years I was working in a small company, and I was bullied and harassed by 3 of my colleagues who made fun of me all the time, they were pretty mean saying really horrible things, and on top of that I was told to f**k off and go back to my country but two people in the street just because they heard me speaking my mother language, I left my job in Durham mainly because of that, and now I am looking for a job again, the only job I had in the UK was the one in Durham because the manager was Indian and had a good feeling about me and hired me, if it is up to my colleagues I would never get hired.
I am really thinking of going back home to North Africa.
I have invented a medicine which i want to explore. Ani i want to sale my idea to a top medicine research company in uk. Please help me out to connect to the company. I really tried so hard from google and mail. But no result
It's been six months here, so far so good. I found people very warm and supporting.
Where are you from?
Like you said its very rare here and there mostly everybody here are more kind towards us and yes still some will be there who dont talk much or even ignore us...
The good thing is there are lots of communities to join.
I’ve lived, studied and worked in London, Birmingham and Reading and have experienced racism equality everywhere. I’m from Iran and people immediately get obsessed about my nationality but in time when they get to know me they begin to look at me as an inspiration!
I learned to manage negative emotions and direct it towards taming the opponent. It’s hard painful and a constant battle specially at competitive work place or in public but it gets easier when I look at the harasser as less experienced less travelled human!
That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for sharing this with us. And I hope more people read accounts from people at the receiving end so they understand how this makes others feel.
Hello. I'm going to the University of Reading for my Master's degree. Are people in Reading too racist? Is finding a job difficult for brown people?
@@27NaV73 From my personal experience, English people don’t like anyone other than themselves. Don’t worry law protects you, you just follow the rules and don’t trust anyone, even the most kind smiley ones cause appearances are deceptive.
The further you look and live from their familiar stereotype the more difficult your life is going to be. But they show it less to brown and black people because in that case the racism and discrimination would be too obvious to cover it up, they are way more clever in playing their games than you think! You must experience it yourself.
@@nipi1790I agree with you. As a black person that was born in England over 40 years ago I saw the overt racism of the 1980's and 1990's from the white British working class. It's much less overt now and it's still there but much more hidden than it was. I think the UK will always have a problem with racism given it's failure to reconcile itself as a modern progressive state that is inclusive to all people as it pretends to be given its past based on oppression of its colonised people. The classism that exists in the UK particularly in England contributes to this and as with the hostile media environment around immigration and asylum seekers I don't expect the UK to become a post racial harmonious state anytime soon.
Oh well...
I think she was *super* balanced and objective about the scenario and such videos help good people on all sides
I am Ahmadi Muslim and brown. So kinda double disadvantage. My son (8) faced very sad incident of Racism in a school in Worcester before summer break this year. During playtime when he was playing with another Asian friend, few boys from senior year group(year 6) called them "bloody Asians" then one of them pushed him back for no apparent reason, his head hit the bin and when he fell down the group started laughing. Being encouraged by the group the pusher started to hit him with a stick in hand (though not very forcefully). Teacher came, rescued my son, shouted at those kids and reported the incident to us. I didn't know who to blame? However, the response was important to me. I thought about filing a police report etc. But my son after discussing with me decided to make a card for the racist kids, that he did and handed over to their teacher. I don't know if his gesture would plant some seeds of goodness in those kids when they grow up. But we as a family were too grateful to this amazing country to hit back at those kids. These people have shared their home-land with us and gave us every possible chance to thrive. Yes, there can be both structural and individual biases and white privilege also partly exists, but we would like to be the part of solution to make it better society.
Omg that’s terrible. I’m so sorry your son had to go through that. What he endured is inexcusable. Being a mother myself I’m 100% sure I wouldn’t have reacted as kindly as you’ll did so something for all of us to learn from you. That being said, I think it’s about time schools have sessions to teach students how racism cannot be tolerated in this age to make sure this doesn’t happen again. Your son will grow up stronger and I wish him the best x.
Indian people need to change to be better and fight back the way paks and blm has, nobody told them to go home. Old India gone, new India should be more aggressive towards racists.
Totally agree. BLM Pakistani need to support each other in this matter.
Hi I’m trying to move within the UK. Is Maidenhead really 20 mins away from London?

I have had one incident of racism in 20 years in UK and reported to police.
Gosh I'm so sorry. Although some think its just 1 in 20 yrs so its ok, I hope we move to a point where it's none in 20yrs for everyone.
@@AbsolutelyAshika Absolutely. Racism should have no role in any society.
I think all forms of racism today starts with the fear of the locals , that we people of other ethnic communities will take over their land and rule over them.
Even in India in olden days if a person went from one village to another village he would be viewed as a threat and sometimes chased away . Most violence happened in my State Tamilnadu between 2 villages and have even led to bloodshed , because of the fear of new comers.
The underlying factor is the fear of occupation. I appreciate gulf countries in this matter. One can work and earn in gulf countries and they can return back to their homeland. This is a win win situation for all. We don't heat of racism in gulf countries and they don't feel threatened by us and they treat ppl well.
I do lost confidence to go out to work but enjoy my small benefits handout from government, little car, much happy more than going out to work ❤❤
Even I faced in university I studied, not directly. It happens hear and there, as u said not every one is like that.
Even i met very nicest people there. Now in India and want to come back again

Thank you so much for sharing this Saket.
I live in Leeds as well, and agree there isn’t any racism to be felt around here. But I believe it’s because the people of Yorkshire are known to be really friendly and welcoming.
@@jonesroberts3640I grew up in Birmingham. As a British Caribbean the friendliest places for me were always Asian areas. Small Heath, Aston etc. Lovely people. Some awful white places though like Sutton Coldfield.
@@Beauweir agree to some extent, King's Norton, Sutton Coldfield, kingstanding Northfield Bartley Green, Quinton , Druids heath ,King's heath very racist areas of Birmingham lots of segregation in areas
Iam from Plymouth which comes under Devon county and never encountered a single racism. People here are more helpful and kind.
Oh I was in Devon 2 weeks ago and everyone was lovely. Ofcourse I only stayed for a week but it was wonderful and I noticed most people were very friendly. Well, except that old lady :D
UK CITIES outside of London are very racist and segregated like Birmingham, Manchester Liverpool, Leeds have racial issues and segregated areas with no integration at all.
I would argue that racism is more prevalent outside of diverse cities London. In places that are majority white and working class.
Mostly the countryside, that's why I'm gonna try living in another big city or town with cultural diversity.
I live in uk over 30 years work at nursery school, steriliser assistant in hospital, medical company, another words I work alongside uk people but difficult to make friends, feel sad but used meditation and books,long walk which I do as my morning and evening routine...❤❤
We too asked them to go back in multiple ways , soft and harsh, but they stayed for 100 years !
Racism is universal across cultures in history.
In UK, big portion of the population feels animosity towards foreigners but the reasons are primarily economical rather than race.
-Economical stagnation
-Shortage of housing
-Increase cost of living
-High taxes
-Income stagnation for 40+ years
-Increase in crime rate
-Overload on early education and NHS
Everywhere in the world, where these factors have affected local population we have seen the same hostility towards foreigners or immigrants.
Starting this conversation is great but blaming race or skin colour is missing the point. Racism is an ugly byproduct of multifactorial economic situation not the root cause.
Is that the lie you tell yourself, to help you sleep at night
@@RoderickSpode What propound contribution to the conversation...being a victim is far easier than studying history, read and understand statistics, research change in economics, build arguments and antithesis... If the notion of racism is so easily explainable through skin color you would have no racism in Majority black and brown countries...far from reality.

This is should be be plenty of tangible, hard data of how institutional diverse UK is. If it wasn't you would not be here in the first place.
.
Can you present any evidence of institutions discriminating non white people in UK?
.
People calling you names and making you cry is anecdotal evidence. Far from institutions. I hope you have the intellect to understand the difference.
.
Also, UK is racist in relation to what other nation of your preference? Please, list a few nations which we should aspire to. .
.
@@RoderickSpode yet a lot of buzzwords from you but no facts.
Here are some facts on UK and their institutions..
.
POLITICAL: all head of state are children of foreign born immigrants and non white (whites are 87.2% of population).
Ireland PM: Leo Varadkar
Scotland First Minister: Humza Yousaf
England PM: Rishi Sunak
London mayor: Sadiq Khan
.
Economics:
35% of CEOs are foreign born.
.
Social:
UK-born and foreign-born individuals have similar levels of participation in social housing. In London, almost half (48 per cent) of all social housing is now occupied by households that are headed by somebody who was not born in Britain. The most common households are headed by somebody who was born in Africa (18.4 per cent), the Middle East and Asia (11.7 per cent).
.
Now, since people calling you names and your tears are not an Institution. Can you provide evidence, data of any UK institution being racist?.
.
Polish, Albanian and Romanian experience discrimination too despite being white. A quick look at crime rates and % of nationalities in the Prison Population would explain why.
.
Final, UK is racist in comparison to which other nation? can you suggest any other country which we should aspire to?
Can you give us any examples of nations that are thriving we should aspire to? and we also would be welcome to?
.
You are in UK because is your best option. or are you leaving any time soon?
You describe this subtle racism very well. These are micro-aggressions.
I’m an Indian and living in Europe . I faced racism in India very often.
Fake id
Interesting. I’m a mixed race American who experienced racism from Indians in London.
Worked for leicestershire police, trust me it wasn't verbal racism it was felt and oppressive. Honest!
I lived in the UK for 5 years and I feel like people there were a lot more racist towards people who weren’t born in the UK than those that were born there. And even though they act polite you can feel the discrimination in a lot of aspects of life. And they don’t discriminate only based on race but also based on where you come from. Being an Eastern European, I often felt discriminated by different professors during my studies. However, I did feel much better in London. Because of the multicultural diversity there, racism and discrimination are probably a lot less common compared to the small towns and villages.
Hey thank you for sharing. I actually find small villages very welcoming but I've only ever visited and not lived there so..
Great courage for speech against such discrimination, my question is what about your opinion about Indian Raciscism by Castism? Have you ever said your opinion about this? You should once think about this?
I have thought about it many many times Soumya and I do not support discrimination against anyone based on the color of their skin, their names or how they speak. Whether that's in the UK or in India.
Yes you need to speak up when it happens, they look surprised when you speak up probably they assume you do not know the language and my first grader son got the " you need to go back where you came from" at school. I live in Newcastle. Surprisingly the older generation here are very nice.
speak up? you went to Britain and you are saying to speak up?/ Hahahahahah
I dont get your joke you can laugh at yourself especially if you dont know how to speak up its difficult, while you cannot expect to be accepted like their own you can still take action against discrimination and maintain your self-respect there are lots of channels to report abuse/racism@@goginenibhargava
@@annamariefernando6118 running away from your country to Britain and asking others in Britain to speak up about racism is funny.
@@goginenibhargava would be funny if I wrote such a comment about something I can't relate to while living in my own country.
I have had experiences of this kind of attitude. It’s how they make you feel. To my credit I’m quite confrontational & call people out directly which in return makes them extremely uncomfortable & puts them on the spot. They don’t like this.
This is the only way to deal with the British, treat them as they treat you and call them out it's the only way they seem to understand
😦 literally in every country that I came across…..it’s not the country it’s the people
You can't 'Me Too' based on supposition & hearsay.
Think a little before you comment.
It's so intresting how non of you realize you invaded a small special country which trading go back to the Roman's don't you realize it was a huge wave of people that destroyed there way of life how would you like it if you were invaded
Invited not invaded you lush
Thank you for a wonderful video. I’m so saddened to hear that racism is so prevalent in the UK. I started tearing up 😢
I live in Australia and it can be very similar unfortunately & usually it’s the white Aussies who exhibit racist attitudes.
I love your videos, keep them coming.
Gosh that's sad to hear. Maybe we'll talk about this a few years down the line and would have noticed a stark change in behaviour. And thank you for the kind words.
Whites in Australia are originally from England and ireland many immigrated to Australia and brought thier racism with them.
Some friends from France and Eastern Europe were also the victims of racist behaviour in England. The French couple - who do speak English, albeit with an accent - were in a restaurant in Liverpool, obviously speaking French among themselves, and when they ordered a coffee, the people at the table next to them, who had heard the couple talking, started imitating French people speaking English, with 2 of them laughing, saying, 'of course the Froggies want coffee'! Another friend, originally from Romania, who spent several years in England, was treated rudely and given poor service in some shops and restaurants, and also faced discrimination when looking for a flat. Even being from elsewhere in Europe does not automatically guarantee immunity to discrimination based on language and ethnicity in the UK.
That's really sad to hear. I've seen & heard others mimicking others thinking it makes them cool or funny to put down others. It just goes to show extremely poor upbringing.
As an asian brit born in the 80s I can tell you there is a lot of racism in london back then it was very open but now a lot more subtle having said that I have to add there are some white brits who are genuinely very welcoming. People just don't like anyone that's different from them in any way whether it's colour of the skin language religion or even class and I believe it exists in every community
That's very true. Thank you for sharing!
You think your British, but your not.
You aint British. You just think you are.
@@NANA-kd7yg well last time i looked at the definition of being a British citizen according to the British government ....I am British
British Indian here, Cornwall & Devon are completely racist. Many restaurants simply wont serve you they ignore you till you leave. Wales is just as racist just type it into Google and read yourself.
Ive unfortunately lived in these racist places and I can confirm the UK is extremely racist. It makes no difference I was born here and have an English accent.
Sorry to hear that
Bobby’s girl I ain’t visiting Devon or Cornwall sounds bad..
Guess I’m one of the lucky ones who hasn’t experienced even a SINGLE INCIDENT of racism.
Like I used to live in Derby, in the English industrial North.
Funnily enough, The UK is the LEAST RACIST country in all of Europe and the many Eastern European ones outright want to ban Muslim immigrants from entering their countries.
One observation which is definitely true is this.
Violent incidents of racism (just like violent crime) has drastically gone down in the UK over the last few decades which means that even the smallest incident gets a LOT OF attention.
Certainly, any type of racist incident isn’t pretty (and it applies both ways right?) but by and large, The UK is an excellent country to live in.
Thank you so much for sharing this Sumanth. I'm so happy for you and I hope you continue to not face anything racist. I think its important for crimes to get a lot of attention so others understand its not ok to behave in a certain derogatory manner.
Sorry to hear that. It’s very ignorant of them. I am white British and I rarely see racism amongst British people black or white in the cities. If there is an incident it stands out as being unacceptable behaviour. This year in 2024 there is more racism from black and white immigrants who have moved here. I am not used to it. I grew up in one of the most multi racial counties in England. Having said that it is definitely more apparent in some of the towns not the cities in UK. It is quite a complex issue. Everyone I know in UK who is black or brown see themselves as black yet lately some black immigrants do not accept being called black and they find it offensive so it is not an easy subject. It’s like saying only one of two white people are white because one of them has an olive complexion not a white complexion.
Racism is also rife in cosmopolitan cities like London as well
I genuinely hope grow as a society to accept ZERO racism from anyone. British or immigrant. It's really not ok in today's day & age.
I look Indian, Jewsih , Arabic , Persian , and so on and so forth , 😂
So I’ve experienced so many different versions of racism in london , Especially in the london Suburbs.
London isn’t actually an example of the English culture because london is an entity of its own and for a person to have a real understanding of the English culture one needs to live in the real English cities such as the cities and villages in the southwest of England or places like Norfolk or Suffolk
Because if the ethnic minorities are high in one city in the uk then racism goes unnoticed because of the policies of local councils but things can be very different in other parts of the uk .
Thank you for sharing this!
Could you find a job in the UK for yourself till now?
How do we make our children understand this and tell them to stand up for themselves.if you have a sensitive child he or she will most likely go into a shell
How beautifully u explained the situation..
Hello friend can you help me to find out one studio flat or Double room in any sharing house. I will fly on July 12 th.

Racism is everywhere,including Britain,depends where you live in UK.
The hope is that someday, we don't have to worry about things like this.
hi guys a women at my work place showed me snake like action and it was creepy also I felt uncomfortable also she said "india snake" because she cannot speak proper English it was weird🥲 please help me what should I do?
well guess she is slandering Indians as snakes (some sort of back-stabber or traitor right?)
Go to work with more indians tell others of experience
Make sure you keep a diary of all these incidents and report it to citizens advice
Same thing happened to me in yorkshire
Oh gosh, I'm so sorry.
I living here from last 10 months they have but not open up
Don't open up stay reserved English People are very nosey.
As a native we are scared of losing our identity! Like we are seeing other flags being flown around different cultures being introduced and it’s taking away our identity our tradition of British language British flags British food and pub food British music and folk! The island is Very small island our countrysides are being ripped apart to host more and more people our beautiful lands once was! Again this is to do with the mass immigration from the east! This is not about race this is about our culture and respecting the ways and lands! Crime since the introduction from the east in the last decade is up 30% in theft rape and murder! Arrests again out of 1000 men 12 are being arrested
Out of 1000 men of ethic east 61
Do you see our concern as natives! Our once Great Britain is dying in all aspects!
From mass migration we can’t even house our own people!
People that do move need to read about the history need to read into the tradition of the country it’s not the other way around of coming here and changing it! That’s called no respect!

omg terrible - they pretend they do not understand you as you have an accent, they won't give you payrise as you're foreigner or they will ignore your case forever if you have problems they will behave like you created the problem not that you are a victim, i know people that had injuries and did not get even pounds for serious damages that unable people from working for 2years, etc... terrible and lack of any rational and self-criticism
Hmm... I'm not sure the incident in the Dartmouth cafe is necessarily about racism (whatever that word means.) I can tell you that the lady in the caf probably would indeed have reacted in the same way if you'd been white. It's sure been my experience.
Im very frustrated about seemingly increasing xenophobia in the Uk. Ive never been the victim of it but it feels so antiquated and stupid but were told our country has a migrant crisis when our rich is taxed at effectively 8 percent, i wonder which one is the reason we have no fuckin money.
Racism often shown way people treat you and talk to you.
I experienced bullying, harassment and stalking for 8 years now. All started in Reading when I was working for an Indian, very rich estate agency owner. Him and his daughter after I resigned from work for them, said they will do revenge and will ruin my career. They said something bad about me after my conversation with a young colleague from Pakistan (we have a conversation about a terrorist attack). Then I was employed by another estate agency - family owned (family with Pakistani background). They repeated everything that happened in the previous place of work. They also said I can't finish my lunch in the cantina because they have to pray. At the same time they said I am not allowed to eat at my desk. There were many more I experienced from them. They use business connections to stalk me. I have done nothing wrong against them. I suppose that the ex employer said bad things about me - hence they are following me. The behaviour is typical to their community. When you have a ''problem'' with one of them, they turn against you. In my country we believe that when you have a ''problem'' you need to speak to this person. We believe it needs to be done face to face between those two people involved. Other people try not to get involved. What is the conclusion - racism is not coming only from white people. Actually I believe it is done by narrow minded people. Personally I believe that skin colour doesn't matter. What does matter is how you are treating other people, your character. I have been treated badly by this estate agency owner and his daughter because they think they have the right to treat me in this way as they are rich and influential! She said to me I have to be thankful that she employed me, a foreigner in the office with my poor English. They can't stand the fact that I do not let them treat me in this way and resign. I do not want to be their slaves - doing work that 3 people should do for £16000 per year. I also experienced bad treatment from English people. I was sexually harassed at work in Wokingham where I was working for a car dealer. He felt free to do that because as said to me - ''nobody will stand behind you as you are a foreigner''! Later one I found out that that person was contacted by my ex-employer. I took that to the Employment Tribunal and since then they have turned my life into a nightmare. They will never stop. In November I received a call from a man with a Pakistani accent and he said ''come back to your country if you want to live''! What has the police done about this? Nothing - they try to keep me quiet and protect those bandits. From now I decided to publish my story and warn other people. If anybody else is experiencing the similar situation as I am - please contact me. Let's stop racism together.
OMG that's horrible! I hope the courts sue them for every penny they're worth. I would like to say name and shame but I'm sure you have constraints that bind you from doing that but I genuinely help things get better. They sound like goons and trashy people. Money can't buy manners unfortunately, or common sense for that matter. And you're right, racism comes in all forms.
It's wonderful that you've taken the courage to speak about this. It wouldn't have been easy. I hope things get better for you.
Not racist at all in the uk , im native American Choctaw nation and ive lived here since i was 13 , and never had any trouble of problem, infact they've been fantastic about my history and culture

Very narrow minded view
So odd. When I visited London, as a mixed race woman, the racism I experienced was mostly from Indian people.
Gosh, I'm so sorry. I say this in all honesty, racism from anyone is not ok.
this shit happens to me as well and i'm white skinned, I don't know if they t hink I'm jew or something. I have long curly hair. When at the gas station they're really nice to people that look normal and are british descent, but are not at all nice to me. Some indian taxi driver asked if I jewish when I was wearing my fedora.
I wonder what those Black people think of racism in India?

Last week 3 Indian were stabbed to death in UK
Kontham Tejaswini Reddy was stabbed to death, allegedly, by her flatmate Keven Antonio Lourenco.
Aravind Sasikumar was stabbed and killed, allegedly, by his flatmate Salman Salim.
Grace O'Malley-Kumar was stabbed to death trying to save her friend Barnaby Webber, both killed, allegedly, by Valdo Calocane whose been charged for a triple murder.
(I have to say allegedly until they're convicted) @Prashant Jha - While we're talking about racism in the UK please be careful stating things like that - upon reading I immediatly imagined these 3 horrible murders were racially motivated killings carried out by English men.
Racism is everywhere and tolerated by so many prodigious people.
Good Video well explained 👍Some people are just like that unfortunately, But i think racism is more spoken than actual acts of violence especially in my part of Manchester, but its not common, is mostly just the remark/comment/joke or just even a strange look or glare, or what happened with you through acts of bias (sorry about that). I think Manchester is best place second to London/Birmingham for work opportunities due to it size and opportunities. As for my own experience i am not Indian but i did also had small tiny experiences but i wouldn't call it "racism" as i am white, but its more like Xenophobia than anything else... Many people said to me "are you in the mafia" in school once i mentioned i was Italian(but i think this is a joke so i am not too offended by it). And once my dad was nailing the TV, frame on the wall and the neighbor got mad shouting "Go Back To Your Country!", made no sense why he was mad because it was 3pm not really late. Anyway its best to ignore people like this, don't let them ruin your day! 👍
This video is about INDIANS 💪 not ITALIANS!!!
@@Aariz981 agreed India 🇮🇳 💪
Thank you for sharing this Maria. This video isn't about how any one nationality faces racism but rather how nationality doesn't matter in issues like this.
They dont greet you, they make you feel.. how about you greeting them with a big smile and you making them feel great. People are like this to Indians cuz they've faced many cold Indians. Indians are cold cuz of their own insecurities.
Uk is very racist specifically in remote towns..i am myself a uk citizen and had faced this situation quite often many times at work places...as a immigrant if you lived in midlands its probably ok but places like cambridge , hastings, kent , peterborough etc ..be ready for anything

There's racism and there's xenophobia. Racism exists at an institutional and societal level. Xenophobia, an irrational fear of strangers/foreigners, is down to the individual and stems from prejudice. Interesting word...pre-judging. My elderly in-laws were a good example; having fought in and lived through WW2 they saw immigrants as ungratefully taking what they had built up (ignoring the fact that immigrants were helping rebuild the UK).
Imagine you live in a village and everyone contributes to building a well. Some who have more belongings are told to contribute more but everyone gets to take the same amount of water. One day a stranger from outside settles in the village, finds a job from day one is allowed to take his fair share despite not having contributed very much at all. He works hard and tries his best and continues to contribute (even though those who built the well say his contribution will never match theirs). Word gets out the village is a good place to live and work. More strangers come. The village prospers as a result but now people are suspicious that the newcomers are only interested in their well. Queues for the well are getting longer. Friction builds. Some of the newcomers bring their elderly relatives to live with them and to support them, because they love them and it is their right. Even though these grandparents can't work, they are entitled to water from the well as water is a right, not a privilege.
I could go on...but it's too depressing trying to think like a xenophobe! 😢 But maybe I have given an idea of the prejudice?
Hey there Ashika what's poppin'? Yeah racism I believe does not exist in 100% area of any country. Maybe in some parts or areas of any country we may face racism but I don't think it is possible in every single place. And secondly, we go abroad for normally two purposes, earning and higher studies. So our main focus must be on our dreams. Not on these unnecessary matters. Ashika what do you think about that?
Hey Sameer, I think it's also important to stand up against what's wrong if we are to have any hope for it to change.
Racism isn't in a place, it's in people. You can't claim ANYWHERE is free of it because it only takes one person to poison the well.
Wow, spoken like a true Brit. In a generaion or 2, your kids will start doing the same things.
I could say move to area with more indians but sometimes indians racist to each other but still better being in mixed area
I felt like most people are not very welcoming here.
There is a three part documentary on Channel 4 about how South Asians fought violent racists in the 1970s/ 80s please watch

I have lived in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for some time, and let me tell you, there administration has done masters in exercising racism.
As an Asian ,you are not even in second class citizens ( other Arab speaking non natives), but something below that , say third level citizens.
They were racist enough to speak in big team meetings and Presentation in Arabic only ( deliberately), despite having a board of Asian and African medical staff,who would simply watch the show like deaf and mute.
I am a specialist Surgeon, and would not mention of labour class treatment there.
But yes, some people amongst them were brilliant, generous and justified.

If the UK is not for you then live so somewhere else. Simple. Find a country where you are happy.
No one is forced to live in the UK unless they are forced.
Every expat has every legal right to use what ever opportunity they can to improve their life and use the economy to their advantage. The British stole from so many countries and now you are acting pathetic. People need to have some sort of compensation from all the stealing the British did
