Is this how you people fight in the UK. That girl would not have the guts to insult that boy like that in Texas or Chicago for obvious reasons.

Everyone packed heat when I lived in the US.

On a separate note, that boy was not trained at home about how to be respectful to babes and treat them like precious metals at all times.

Once I was waiting for my bus after classes in Glasgow scotland. I was watching a road sweeper sweep the road and one white old man asked me if we have road sweepers in my country. Immediately I remembered my street at Abuja and my answer was: we don't need it because we are not that dirty. He stirred at me for so long and smiled. Perhaps what was on his mind was " he is good".

My point is that a white person will always want to bring you down as a black man. When you stay abroad for a while if you don't know your worth they make you feel being black is a disadvantage.

SMDH!

On another note, they see Africans going at each other's throats like these ones were and we expect them to treat us differently?

Even here on NL, y'all fight each. . .call each others tribes the most despicable names and then get all up in arms when an outsider says something derogatory about Nigeria. You can't eat your cake and have it too....it's either you respect yourselves and get respected by all and sundry or. . .well you know undecided

Lolll!!!

You are really demented, you know that?
What a defeatist you have already exposed yourself to be.
Go on, don't fight back - even when they call you a monkey to your face - just to prove to the world that you are liberated.
Go on, turn the other cheek when the white folks call your race smelly.
Go on, continue to kiss their a.ss, just so people will see you as being cool.
You talk against inferiority complex, but unwittingly the joke is on you!

Dude if we black folks start hitting everyone that shows off racism on us don't you think we gonna start world war everlasting?

Very true... A lot of Caribbean folks can't stand 'Africans', especially those who appear wealthy.

Indeed Nigerians are so ill of the mal-treatment from our fellow Nigerian brothers that we think randomly without a positive access. How the *fak on earth will a woman call a Nigerian "smellin". If not for bad leadership, isn't this country a place the whites wanna be? But the most remorseful part of this is that they(leaders) don't even feel this pains. I feel pity in same vein to say the Blacks ain't even learning not to talk abt copying.

She called him a smelly fuϾking Nigerian. Maybe he just happens to be a Nigerian with bad odour...who is 'fuϾking'. They were both insulting each other, she said she has a black boyfriend. This is not racism. This is an example of life in London,people steadily get into trysts with complete strangers. Big City life

4 Play: Smelly Nigerian! Woman Attacked After Calling Teenager "Smelly Nigerian"

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2260124/Black-teen-punches-woman-calls-smelly-Nigerian-shocking-racist-video-filmed-Tube.html

Daily Mail's headline is a bit misleading as it leaves off the part about the teenager purportedly being attacked with a bottle. However, it's interesting attaching the term
''Nigerian''to an epithet is seen as an insult.
The insult is more in the word "smelly" than Nigerian. It would sound the same had she called them "smelly English" or "smelly
caucasian". However i do agree with you to some extent. Why of all black countries would she use Nigeria? If Nigeria is starting to get this sort of negative usage then we are all doomed.

When I said Fight back, I meant it in a metaphoric way. Not actual hitting of people. This senseless act of colour discrimination will only lessen when and if we start speaking up against it with one voice.

Ignorance is a disease.
Last time I checked, Yoruba and Igbo tribes belong to the same race. Or maybe one of them belongs to another race in your mind apparently. *SMH*

point of correction, sir. the former is African while the latter is Jewish (caucasian) grin . So, technically, igbo/yoruba bashing is racism.

True.. That's the problem with these teenagers, they're too hyped for no reason...

The prick will probably get done for affray and he'll end up having a criminal record for no reason smh...

We've got institutionalised racism to deal with not abusive words that don't mean anything...

Moreover, all white people think black people stink and black people also think most white people smell like dogs... grin

They should have continued the verbal assault and have fun!! grin

Tribalism and racism have one thing in common. . .All stem from a hate-filled mindset. All tribalists should be killed. cheesy The Hutus and Tutsis come to mind why the tribalists on NL and beyond must be killed before they infect everyone.

There are lots of instances of people spewing racist hatred that doesn't end in violence, but this isn't one of those case. A British teenager had a verbal exchange with a woman that ended with her getting punched in the face.
Based on the grainy video, the woman and the male—a 19-year-old aspiring recording artist—got into an argument after he stepped on her foot. The boy claims to have been called a “smelly Nigerian,” and likens the woman to an escort. He also blasts her as racist, to which she responds. “My boyfriend's f-cking Black!”
The teen then asks her if that means she's Black. “No,” she replies. “He [my boyfriend] respects me.”
From there things continue to go down hill with the youngster questioning if the 28-year-old woman thinks she's in America, where she can “move around with her lunatic antics.”
Just when it seems that things have died down, one last taunt about him being a thief and a bottle thrown in his direction leads to his breaking point. He launches more than a few blows at the woman's' face before being pulled away

I can tolerate racism more than tribalism.

Tribalism led to the gassing of over 6 million Jews.

Tribalism led to the massacre of over 800,000 Rwandans in less than a month.

After all, with racism differences are physically obvious but tribalism is in the heart and mind and are based on misplaced cultural stereotypes and pure hatred!

Ask your average Yoruba man why he hates the Igbo and he will be hardly be able to give you a concrete answer.

Define tribalism!! undecided

Tribalism and racism are two different things entirely - bigotry might be similar to racism, but tribalism is different from racism...

I didnt expect less from Dailymail. However, I think the young man just punched his way to Belmash prison. Best way to treat a racist is to just laugh at them. Turn the hurt back at them.
That said, that lady is not British, she sounds like a Polish who's been learning English for 4 years.
