Those blacks think and act like black Americans down south. They have a victim mentality.

There's a few affluent Asian communities in B.C. they're into money laundering from China. They don't count. Most legit Asian aren't better off than blacks.

It's like counting the Nigerians who do 419 as a affluent African group. And racism towards blacks is worse than any other visible minority group here.

so all affluent Asian communities in BC are into money laundering? wonderful, so how come many of them have legacies for their children. many of them started owning corner shops and Chinese restaurants that cater to the masses not only to chinese or asians, that way they grow and move up the ladder, even their children help and support and make their business big.

brixton and Dagenham are not affluent areas, but just black communities, the asians do have predominately middle class asian communities in the UK
I did not say they were. Can you mention one predominantly middle class Asian community in the UK?

money laundering is done by the mafia not by ordinary citizens. and this is how it works, if you are a drug dealer or control prostitution rings, the money you make from drug dealing or from prostitute you take it out, open a restaurant, car wash or club business, then make your cash appear like you earn the money from those legal business.

i hope you know that the one of the biggest employer in UK is an Indian company named (TATA)

Britain's richest Asians have increased their collective wealth by a record £14billion

The wealthiest Asians in Britain are the Hinduja Brothers, who are worth £19billion

The 2017 British Asian Rich List revealed that the country's Asian business community has increased its wealth to a record £70billion

there is an affluent Japanese neighborhood in Hampstead and St John's Wood and affluent Indian community in North West London, London, especially in the wembley area.

What of black rich list? The same reason there are more Asian billionaires in Asia than African billionaires in Africa is applicable in the UK.
And TATA is a global company owned by Indians. The blacks are free to come to the UK too and create jobs.

Show me proof. Same can be said of blacks. There are black communities in affluent areas of London.

if you read the write up, it talked about why there are no afflunent black communities in the UK, in the US there are predominately black middle class and upper-middle-class areas while in the Uk it is non-existence

are you trying to tell me in the UK, no blacks commit crimes, but who are the blacks stabbing and doing Bulgary and in gangs in the UK. All blacks area in the UK are crime-infested areas and poor.
Name 3 affluent or predominately black communities in USA lets see.

Very interesting discussion here.

This is the kind of thread to needs to be push to the front page of Nairaland to get more people into the discussion.

Anyway, one of the reasons maybe why the Asians are more favored by the whites might be due to their skin color which is in almost similarity to the whites...lol!...Or another reason might be due to the fact that most of the Asians were not really enslaved by the whites in the past as compared to the blacks.

Bear in mind that most of those Asian countries already had some kind of independence on their own without the invasion of the whites. China and Japan comes to mind.
Britain colonise China bruh.

Oga I can authoritatively tell u blacks in uk fare better than black's in USA

U are mentioning few selected places in us.

Detroit Chicago south LA Compton Houston Baltimore Maryland even Atlanta has some of the worst crime and death rate in the world.

Believe me when I say Europe are not as racist as USA, even Brazil are not as racist as Americans.

Trust me from research and documentary, Black's in UK fare farrrrr better than Black's in usa on average.

Its because black population are much in USA that some few maybe 5% u see on TV that makes u think so.


Even many black's u see on TV that u think are Americans are actually british

You are extremely wrong , blacks fare way better in the US than the U.K. But in general people fare much better in the US because of the opportunities available . The us has so many opportunities and the economy is bigger . Yes gun violence is big the in the U.S but knife stabbing are also big in the U.K.

Anyone can be involved with Money laundering not just the mafia.
And who told you that the Asian business owners outlined in maternal 's post aren't part of a mafia?
It seems like , in your opinion, anyone with a restaurant or a shop isn't involved in dirty business behind the scene.

Show me proof. Same can be said of blacks. There are black communities in affluent areas of London.

which proof do you want again, i wonder, this asian wonder is not only in the UK but it is been replicated in canada and america.

we are not talking about Asians billionaires or black billionaire in asia or in africa

i was talking about uk born asian billionaire, no UK born black billionaire, yes, th blacks are free to come to the UK and createe jobs but they are not creating jobs like the asians in large scales instead competing with whites for their own jobs.

Not that I advocate for crime. But even if they were into money laundering , the operative theme here is they launder this money via businesses that intentionally/unintentionally create opportunities and contribute to the growth of their community. Same cannot be said of Blacks

One of the cardinal rule of being wealthy is KEEP THE MONEY WITHIN THE CLAN.....thats what what the Jews have been doing for centuries...same with Italian Americans...Chinese are now doing it...go to countries where Chinese are many...do you know what they do? HUM...THEY DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM ANY OTHER SHOP...the clothes they wear is from their country..when he wants to barb he goes to a chinese barber....if he falls sick..he goes to chinese pharmacy take their own drugs herbal or whatever..eats chinese food imported into that country...He is always patronising chinese good because HE KNOWS THAT THE MONEY IS GOING BACK TO HIS PEOPLE..Do you see the reason why many are poor in black African? Always looking for foreign goods and bragging on top of it that THIS IS FOREIGN

Most wealthy families do the same..

Why do white people choose to be racist?

it is called tribalism..... they are trying hard to protect their cultures, way of life and civilization and they will not hesitate to discriminate against anyone who they think is a threat to their race survival.
