Oh. I see. People serving you and trying to get your custom? Oh dear. It's like the tourists I meet here who natter on to me about how friendly and polite the Indonesian people are, and it turns out the only ones they have had contact with are the room service and housekeeping staff in their hotels, and their tour guides. 😉

Well, I don't need a precise figure. Was it approximately one person? Was it two or three? Or was it more than ten? Was it dozens of black British people that you have supposedly taken to task for offending you by self-identifying as black?

The Chinese that I have known have been very gentle people, two physicists who live near my home and a doctor, as well as a young women when I was studying art and design who took a shine to me, we exchanged gifts and things and I gave her my classical nylon strung guitar.
And how would your stereotype of the Chinese change if the rude and abusive people in the minibus in Glasgow had been ethnic Chinese?

They were not Chinese they were English hooligans.

With one black person or a group of black people? Did it happen a lot of times?

Yes, I've read your anecdote. But I am asking you, if the rude and abusive people in the minibus in Glasgow had been ethnic Chinese instead, would it have affected the stereotype you have of ethnic Chinese people that you've got from being served by them in shops and restaurants and stuff like that?

not really, sometimes with one and sometimes in a group.

Yes but they weren't Chinese and I have no interest in your absurd hypothetical nonsense, the reality was they were English lager louts, not from China, not from Indonesia, but from England the lager lout capital of the universe.

People would be forgiven for thinking that you've just made this whole thing up - the way you're behaving, the things you are posting, the hazy details, the preposterous nature of the claim. Sorry to tell you that.

Yes but we are discussing the mechanics of your prejudice and of how you arrive at your stereotyping. If you met some abusive Chinese people what would your stereotype of Chinese people then become?

face bovered? Its almost given that Wendys like you believe nothing but your own propaganda anyway, infact its understood prior to attempting to engage you in rational discussion.

Do you really think any of this stuff about how you have told black people that you are offended if they call themselves black - so many times that you can't even recall roughly how many times you've done it - sounds even remotely true?
