I have experienced a lot of racism in Harlow over the years but I feel as if it has gotten better even if it’s only a little. 3 years later, I can’t believe I said that Harlow has gotten better, it hasn’t is a shithole, luckily I’ve moved out, younger me was so optimistic
@@sparklingwater1430 You have aright to comment because it was your real experience and you saw it firsthand. Wish you well in your endeavours to move.
Harlow's crime and poverty is much worse in the last few years. Lots of unemployed from London and surrounding areas are being housed in random office buildings. I dropped a parcel off to one the other day and it's like living in a third world country. It's really risky walking around at night now and people get stabbed, robbed and beaten up all the time, especially at the clubs/pubs.
I heard about that because my mum still lives in Harlow and she told me of all the horror stories of whats happening in Harlow. I am so glad that I don't live there anymore.
Wow James. Well I am sorry to hear that is happening to the town. I have heard that certain ex office buildings in Harlow have been converted to bedsits for homeless people and families from London and the surrounding regions. Needless to say, such people aren't the best of London!
Sparkling Water - Lol na harlow has not got better, it’s got worse. Few years ago I use to be out all the time with friends but now it’s full of bored kids running around with knives, just another working class people neglected by the government. What’s new.
I agree with you back in 2002 I dated a girl from westcliffe on sea and there was tottaly white. The girl' that I dated was racist and we had to date in secret and the girl I also dated was quite racist as well, we eventually broke up and I neverr went back there again. Outside London is not a place for black people and to date out there, the racism is too much and you will not fit in there,maybe in more mixed areas like Manchester,Birminham or Leciester
Im from North London and went to Colchester Essex for Uni between 2013-2016, I stayed around campus most of the time. But when I started working in the town, I would walk home in the evening and had locals driving past screaming "n****" out of nowhere, it happened 3 times in one year. But that's as far as the racism went, I just found it strange because I had never experienced that in London.. Yes UK racism stays covert, no one will be proudly open about their views, it's a taunt-and-run situation all the time. It's still better than the BS happening in the USA
I had similar experiences to you when it came to racism living in Harlow for 8 years where racist white people used to drive past me and shout to me some racist comments but they wouldn't dare say it to my face because I would have beat the shit out of them for being racist towards me in the first place. What did you study at university and what part of North London do you come from? I fully agree with you when you said that you rather live in the UK than the USA because the racism there is way too extreme for a black man like myself.
Well I was born and raised in Harlow for most of my life and i can say it’s very much gone downhill. I desire to move to another location someday as living in Harlow is enough. I did get the opportunity to move out of Harlow to Colchester for university and to me, it was much like Harlow but more villagy.
I heard the horror stories of how Harlow is getting worse. The last time I went to Harlow was back in July 2020 to see my step mum and I tell you this I am glad that I don't live there anymore. You need to move out of Harlow ASAP.

Hi Quincy 82, I saw your fascinating video about living in Harlow after searching on CZcams for videos about Harlow. My white family lived there for 40+ years from 1957 to 2001 (I moved out in 2008 and now live in a much better place) but we only used Harlow as a place to sleep as we all worked in London or worked and studied away. We didn’t socialise in the town at all but when I was older I did make some friends but only of all older people in their 60’s and 70’s. Like you say I found it very hard to make friends of my own age in Harlow as I didn’t go to school there either. If you want to be friends there you need to have attended school or don’t bother trying to make friends. What you say about Harlow being mono-cultural is absolutely right. When we were there ethnic diversity didn’t exist at all. Everyone was white and from families of ex-Londoners who had moved there after the war. Like someone commented the poverty and deprivation was quite high in certain neighbourhoods. Not only that but I was left with the strong impression that Harlow people are very insecure and narrow minded with very little knowledge of the wider world. One of the things I could never understand was that like you said it was designed and built in 1947 but even in 2001 they still called it Harlow New Town even after more than 60 years! When was it going to grow up and mature? Best wishes to you in Palmers Green. Chris.
Hey Chris you had intriguing experience of living in Harlow because you and I had similar life experiences living in Harlow and the fact that you fully agree with me. I have been living back in North London(Oakwood, Arnos Grove and Cockfosters) for nearly 14 years now since November 2007 and I very happy with my decision because I am back home in my natural environment where I grew up because I am a North Londoner.
I couldn't live in those Essex places that you mentioned. I fully agree with you that London is the best place to live as a black man because it is a multiracial city.
I'm so sorry you went through that. I'm looking at moving too Hertfordshire from Hackney, me and my son are mixed, I hope we don't experience racism, sounds awful :(
Lived in Harlow for the last 6 years. No problems at all except for odd looks from the Eastern European community still in the dark ages I guess.... I couldn't handle the Essex money and aggressive mentality. Now living in Kent, more relaxed...
@@terrypelle Born, raised & still living in Harlow from 1980's to now I can attest that often but not always an old poisonous mentality is unfortunately present in some of the Eastern Europeans that come here.
I'm very glad that none of my family live in Harlow now. If I could have my time again I would not live there (although it was never my decision as I was 18 months old when we moved there). I would prefer somewhere more cosmopolitan but small like a village.
I fully agree with you Chris. If I could live my life again I would never have moved to Harlow as I would live my whole life in North London. The only way I would leave London is that if I went to a University outside of London for a 3 year uni course. It wasn't my choice to move to Harlow in the first place as it was my mums choice to move there when I was 17 years old back in November 1999 as she was desperate to go there and I hated her for it. My mum and my auntie still live in Harlow and I visit them every now and then.
@@Quincy82AAC I wonder what your Mum and auntie think of living in Harlow. They will be more of a senior generation so perhaps they are so used to the racism and monoculture they can live a quiet life. There are some nice quiet parts, estates and neighbourhoods of the town where there is a lot less trouble and more of a community atmosphere. However you can be surprised sometimes. I remember working as pizza delivery driver. I was doing a delivery down one street and I came across two young boys in winter who had poured hot water onto the street on a cold evening. In that weather the hot water freezes to clear ice (what we used to call "black ice" as the tarmac showed through it. Is it racist to call it "black ice"?) making it very difficult to get any traction in a vehicle or on foot. Thanks guys!
@@chrisdean9448 my mum and auntie don't mind living in Harlow as they have been there for over 20 years now but my auntie still tells me that racism still happens in Harlow which I am not surprised because Harlow will always have that racist and narrow minded element about and that's the reason why I had to leave there and move back to London.
Saying that back in the 90s there were many parts of London that was racist like canning town where I was originally from surprisingly was racist up until the early 00s. Then there are parts of South East London like Eltham and bermondsey that are still known for being racist
You see, in Hertfordshire, Essex, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, some of the white men are on the beta male side. I know as a man who is from Brent, North West London who is on the street side who is staying in Watford. I need to find somewhere!
@Money Cultural if you cannot afford a studio flat in London, rent a room in a nice area in London. I've been back in North London for 13 years now and I haven't regretted since. I felt out of place living in Harlow as a black man because I was outside my natural element. London is where I feel at home because I was born and bred in London.
Sorry to hear about your racist experiences. Being from London- Brixton. I hate rascism of any kind and witnessed too much in smaller towns out of London than I ever did in London. I’m considering a move to Harlow but not too sure.
It's okay DJ Fray. Unfortunately these racist incidents happen. If I was you bro I wouldn't move to Harlow because it is dead and you will be bored out of your mind.
@@Quincy82AAC it’s within my budget. My party days and DJing is in the past. And good links to London for my job at London Underground. Thanks for posting the video and replying bro.
@@Quincy82AAC Ive been in Harlow since 2009. Rather a lot of people I went to school with in Enfield are up here. Harlow is obviously much cheaper than London. I enjoy living up here, I keep myself to myself and I like living on the edge of the countryside. Ive never suffered from the overt racism that we used to suffer back in the days Harlow is more diverse although I will say Brexit did cause tension with people.
@@grime_garage Harlow is more mixed now than it was when I was living there between the years of 1999 to 2007 when I was between 17 to 25. I noticed that a lot of people who went to my secondary school live in Harlow now whereas I have moved back to North London because I was homesick. I love being back in London because I feel that I am in my natural element and I feel accepted because I am from London.
I think if anyone want to move Essex, is better to move in Chelmsford, never never Harlow. I read a comment about Colchester. I don't know, I never felt bad vibes there and also I like. London is nice because is multicultural, a lot of things to do but is really really expensive to live. I live in Chelmsford 2 bed house, garden etc... for £900, Train 40 min to London Liverpool Street. I want to live in London without share a house but I see it impossible for me working as a chef. I lived in London, Catford, Forest Hill, Lewisham that area and was good but because I was living in my family house. So if you have a comfortable place to live, also young don't move to Essex at all. Now if you thinking in create your own family, children etc I think Essex can be a good place (damn no Harlow😂) That is my opinion.
I can totally relate to what you are saying because I only go back to Harlow to see my mum because she still lives there. Apart from that I avoid those sorts of places because of its racist views towards black people.
Essex lads are so immature and naive also compared to any other area ,just think of the way they are so loud in the pub and will likely comment on a black guy walking in
@@Quincy82AAC it's not possible for the same race discriminating against each other. That's not racism, that's self hate which is what pervades black society.
Goodto see you out & about. Despite londoners accustomed to seeing us they still give strange looks as perpetuated by the negative stereotypes of the media. IN all schools history & knowledge of black culture is not in the school curriculum which also doesnt help the dominant british society look positively at black. Thisis the reason why social media & platforms like this is an opportunity to portray a positive image as an individual. Yea Kingrichez is on point about those areas. Quincy you dont have to make a disclaimer for not being prejudice as evidence is seen in your other videos so not to worry.
I fully agree with you Jarod. Unfortunately in the UK, black history is not taught in schools and that's why we have negative stereotypes aimed against us.
Yo I live in Harlow near stow so I mean it’s ok here nice but the crime is the thing u gotta watch out for my family have been in Harlow since my great nan moved here in 40s/50s
Which postcode area is the best area please? Is Cm20 a nice area please? I was adopted from SE Asia by white parents when I was 6 weeks old, and I've had racism from Asians, Blacks and whites
@@Quincy82AAC I was brought up in an all white neighbour, maybe one none white in each class in the 80s. My parents are white. Anyone can be racist, and I've had racism thrown at me, cos I was adopted by Asians and Blacks. I just bitch back at idiots.
Omg its so true that certain areas ladys do and do not go for black/mixed guys London I always get ladys flirting with me Cambridge not so much because its posh Bedford I had a whild night out and noticed you have alot of white woman into black guys and Rnb music etc and talk like a black woman . Oxford not so much 😂
@@Quincy82AAC in L.A mixed guys with blue guys are loved by white woman everywhere. The worlds hottest felon Jeremy meeks won the genetic lottery, Thats what happens when your on NO FAP you create attraction!
@@Quincy82AAC don’t listen to this guy. He posts the same thing on every channel about Harlow. I’ve seen him over 6 times on different channels already. Exact same comment every time lol
@@Quincy82AAC but I appreciate your video bro. I’m a black guy from Hackney originally. But have lived in Edmonton with my family for the last 10 years. Just bought somewhere in Harlow as it’s cheaper. I’m in my 40’s now, so not too bothered about nightlife etc. just a bit concerned about my two kids growing up there now watching your vid. Although I know it’s probably changed quite a bit since you left there nearly 15 years ago
Can I just say Quincy 82 that west and north london is too multicultural and expensive I have these better options you should consider. South and East London is where it is at. In north East you have Enfield/Edmonton and Enfield a very standard place you could consider living in London. South London has Croydon/Lewisham/Brixton/Peckham, all down to earth working class areas and not posh like West London, plus you have some blacks there. East London you got Barking.Hackney/Dagenham/Newham and the capital of East London ROMFORD. All these areas are great and you would like it, proper London with everyone ultra happy and satisfied plus Romford has access to all areas of Essex including puurfleet/Chelmesford and Basildon!-come on Quincy give some kudos to these areas
It's funny and ironic that you mentioned these areas because I was born in Hackney North East London and I lived there until I was 7 years old in 1989 and from 1989 to 1998, I grew up in Upper Edmonton, Lower Edmonton and Cockfosters all in North London all in the London Borough of Enfield so that makes me a North Londoner through and through and I currently live in Cockfosters, North London one of the areas that I grew up in plus I am never going to leave North London it suits my personality and I can afford to live in this area as well. I can never live in another part of London unless its City Road in North London on the Hackney/Islington border, Finsbury in East Central London near Holborn, Ealing Broadway in West London and Twickenham in South West London because those are nice areas to live in. Also I need to live in a multiracial area because I don't have to deal with any racism on a regular basis.
Romford and Dagenham used to be terrible for racism .. maybe Harlow had the potential to change has it’s getting built up. Basildon, purfleet are considered deprived and a racist area I live in Walthamstow and it’s pricing a lot of people out of the area..
It's a shame there is no night in Harlow because back in the day between the years of 1999 to 2007 just before I left Harlow to return back to London, the night life in Harlow was wicked because you had the 3 main night clubs in the Harlow town centre which is the Millennium night club, Passions night club and CM20 night club and it was a great period when it came to the night life in Harlow.
Last time I raved in Harlow my mate Stevo the mad man put on a rave at the dog track "SIMPLY GARAGE" that was in 2007. I went with Big Nastie them days I was living in Enfield
The fact that I know exactly where your filming this is hilarious to me. I’ve lived in Harlow for 17 years now and it is the worst place to live. Worse than London as every area is incredibly bad, each area such as staple tye to Katherine’s is so bad to be especially at night. I’ve been threatened with knives down ally ways. People on the street tryna mug you. It’s fucking ridiculous. It’s not a safe place to live. Especially for someone my age. You can’t be out past dark.
I fully agree with you. Even though I didnt find Harlow scary at all, I do realise that Staple Tye and the Katherines both in Harlow is pretty dangerous especially in night time. I so glad that I didn't grow up in Harlow because it will drive me mad.
@@Americasno1917 huh? It’s called the government not building enough houses so people don’t have to keep moving to cheaper areas. Like a domino effect. It’s also called vile hatred for Essex people that some want them gone. We are all human. Shame there’s so much hatred about. Nobody should be forced out of anywhere.
Very odd because I have mixed race kids have lived here all my life and have not once had any racism. I am white. Never ever experienced any issues nor have my kids
@@Quincy82AAC I see, Yh Harlow defo changed since those times, if anything it’s become worse and more rough. Certain places I wouldn’t even recommend waking alone at night, especially towards the town
Fuck off. You don't have a fucking clue what you talking about you haven't lived my life experience living in Harlow. Harlow is known to be a racist area.
I have experienced a lot of racism in Harlow over the years but I feel as if it has gotten better even if it’s only a little.
3 years later, I can’t believe I said that Harlow has gotten better, it hasn’t is a shithole, luckily I’ve moved out, younger me was so optimistic
But I’m mixed race my dads black so maybe I can’t comment 🤷🏾♂️
I am so sorry to hear about your bad racism experience in Harlow and I am so glad that I don't live there anymore.

@@chrisdean9448 my mum and auntie don't mind living in Harlow as they have been there for over 20 years now but my auntie still tells me that racism still happens in Harlow which I am not surprised because Harlow will always have that racist and narrow minded element about and that's the reason why I had to leave there and move back to London.
I have moved to harlow recently and I miss London 😢
You should move back to London.
Saying that back in the 90s there were many parts of London that was racist like canning town where I was originally from surprisingly was racist up until the early 00s. Then there are parts of South East London like Eltham and bermondsey that are still known for being racist
I already know that places like Canning Town and Eltham were racist back in the day. I am talking about my experience living in Harlow.
@@Quincy82AAC yh I know you were was just pointing out
You see, in Hertfordshire, Essex, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, some of the white men are on the beta male side. I know as a man who is from Brent, North West London who is on the street side who is staying in Watford. I need to find somewhere!
I fully agree with you bro. You should move back to London.
@@Quincy82AAC I'm looking for a studio flat but some of them are quite expensive so I have to look for a bedroom to rent! Smh!
@Money Cultural if you cannot afford a studio flat in London, rent a room in a nice area in London. I've been back in North London for 13 years now and I haven't regretted since. I felt out of place living in Harlow as a black man because I was outside my natural element. London is where I feel at home because I was born and bred in London.
Preach that bro , so true 🤣 how can I walk down a London street and be fine but go Harlow and get troubled by a bunch of chavs 🤣🤣🤣
Sorry to hear about your racist experiences. Being from London- Brixton. I hate rascism of any kind and witnessed too much in smaller towns out of London than I ever did in London. I’m considering a move to Harlow but not too sure.
It's okay DJ Fray. Unfortunately these racist incidents happen. If I was you bro I wouldn't move to Harlow because it is dead and you will be bored out of your mind.
@@Quincy82AAC it’s within my budget. My party days and DJing is in the past. And good links to London for my job at London Underground. Thanks for posting the video and replying bro.
@@MrKrisfray I understand and it's cool bro. Thanks for supporting my channel.
I was gonna ask Rex has he seen you then I randomly find youre CZcams while searching for Harlow vids.
It's been a long time Joe and Ive been back living in North London for 13 years now since November 2007.
@@Quincy82AAC
Ive been in Harlow since 2009.
Rather a lot of people I went to school with in Enfield are up here.
Harlow is obviously much cheaper than London.
I enjoy living up here, I keep myself to myself and I like living on the edge of the countryside.
Ive never suffered from the overt racism that we used to suffer back in the days Harlow is more diverse although I will say Brexit did cause tension with people.
@@grime_garage Harlow is more mixed now than it was when I was living there between the years of 1999 to 2007 when I was between 17 to 25. I noticed that a lot of people who went to my secondary school live in Harlow now whereas I have moved back to North London because I was homesick. I love being back in London because I feel that I am in my natural element and I feel accepted because I am from London.
randomly stumbled upon this video lol. remember the days of kicking ball in the dashes with all the guys every tues!
Who is this?
I think if anyone want to move Essex, is better to move in Chelmsford, never never Harlow. I read a comment about Colchester. I don't know, I never felt bad vibes there and also I like. London is nice because is multicultural, a lot of things to do but is really really expensive to live. I live in Chelmsford 2 bed house, garden etc... for £900, Train 40 min to London Liverpool Street. I want to live in London without share a house but I see it impossible for me working as a chef. I lived in London, Catford, Forest Hill, Lewisham that area and was good but because I was living in my family house. So if you have a comfortable place to live, also young don't move to Essex at all. Now if you thinking in create your own family, children etc I think Essex can be a good place (damn no Harlow😂) That is my opinion.
How's Catford?
Grew up in London and Essex is the only place I can say I have ever experienced racism in and I only went there once last year.
I can totally relate to what you are saying because I only go back to Harlow to see my mum because she still lives there. Apart from that I avoid those sorts of places because of its racist views towards black people.
Do they behave like that with Latin people??
Essex lads are so immature and naive also compared to any other area ,just think of the way they are so loud in the pub and will likely comment on a black guy walking in
Hi , I got a job in Harlow looking for an affordable area for housing that’s safe for a family of 3
That's great and well done.
I remember a cop calling my mate all kinds of bigoted filth but also remember a good turn out to throw stuff at the NF. Mixed bunch like most places.
I love your accent innit!!!!
I live in harlow & have experienced the racism that you talk of but it was from black guys ! Good & bad in all where ever you go 🤷♀️
I fully agree with you bro. I had racism from black people as well.
@@Quincy82AAC it's not possible for the same race discriminating against each other. That's not racism, that's self hate which is what pervades black society.
@@jarodorla6949 trust me black people can be racist towards each other as I know from personal experience.
@@Quincy82AAC the hatred blacks have towards each other is not called racism. Its self hate. Hating and not respecting what they see in the mirror
Sssshhhhh the agenda is against white people from Essex.
Goodto see you out & about. Despite londoners accustomed to seeing us they still give strange looks as perpetuated by the negative stereotypes of the media. IN all schools history & knowledge of black culture is not in the school curriculum which also doesnt help the dominant british society look positively at black. Thisis the reason why social media & platforms like this is an opportunity to portray a positive image as an individual. Yea Kingrichez is on point about those areas. Quincy you dont have to make a disclaimer for not being prejudice as evidence is seen in your other videos so not to worry.
I fully agree with you Jarod. Unfortunately in the UK, black history is not taught in schools and that's why we have negative stereotypes aimed against us.

Yo I live in Harlow near stow so I mean it’s ok here nice but the crime is the thing u gotta watch out for my family have been in Harlow since my great nan moved here in 40s/50s
The last time I was in the Stow was probably in 2004 when I was in a laundrette washing my clothes.
London is London 🥰🥰🥰
I fully agree with you. 👍
Which postcode area is the best area please? Is Cm20 a nice area please? I was adopted from SE Asia by white parents when I was 6 weeks old, and I've had racism from Asians, Blacks and whites
I am so sorry to hear your bad experiences with racism. CM20 is not a good postcode. The best London postcodes for you to live in is EN4, N14 and N13.

Omg its so true that certain areas ladys do and do not go for black/mixed guys
London I always get ladys flirting with me
Cambridge not so much because its posh
Bedford I had a whild night out and noticed you have alot of white woman into black guys and Rnb music etc and talk like a black woman .

More kitchen knives are sold in Harlow than the rest of Essex.

@@Quincy82AAC but I appreciate your video bro. I’m a black guy from Hackney originally. But have lived in Edmonton with my family for the last 10 years. Just bought somewhere in Harlow as it’s cheaper. I’m in my 40’s now, so not too bothered about nightlife etc. just a bit concerned about my two kids growing up there now watching your vid. Although I know it’s probably changed quite a bit since you left there nearly 15 years ago
@@GodmadeTrends Wow I also grew up in Hackney and Edmonton as well during my childhood and I lived in Cockfosters in between.
If your going to live in the multiculural city not in the black part
I fully agree with you bro. 😊😊
Can I just say Quincy 82 that west and north london is too multicultural and expensive I have these better options you should consider. South and East London is where it is at. In north East you have Enfield/Edmonton and Enfield a very standard place you could consider living in London. South London has Croydon/Lewisham/Brixton/Peckham, all down to earth working class areas and not posh like West London, plus you have some blacks there. East London you got Barking.Hackney/Dagenham/Newham and the capital of East London ROMFORD. All these areas are great and you would like it, proper London with everyone ultra happy and satisfied plus Romford has access to all areas of Essex including puurfleet/Chelmesford and Basildon!-come on Quincy give some kudos to these areas
It's funny and ironic that you mentioned these areas because I was born in Hackney North East London and I lived there until I was 7 years old in 1989 and from 1989 to 1998, I grew up in Upper Edmonton, Lower Edmonton and Cockfosters all in North London all in the London Borough of Enfield so that makes me a North Londoner through and through and I currently live in Cockfosters, North London one of the areas that I grew up in plus I am never going to leave North London it suits my personality and I can afford to live in this area as well. I can never live in another part of London unless its City Road in North London on the Hackney/Islington border, Finsbury in East Central London near Holborn, Ealing Broadway in West London and Twickenham in South West London because those are nice areas to live in. Also I need to live in a multiracial area because I don't have to deal with any racism on a regular basis.
Romford and Dagenham used to be terrible for racism .. maybe Harlow had the potential to change has it’s getting built up.
Basildon, purfleet are considered deprived and a racist area
I live in Walthamstow and it’s pricing a lot of people out of the area..

@@rhyswilliams3114 I fully agree with you bro. 😊
It's a shame there is no night in Harlow because back in the day between the years of 1999 to 2007 just before I left Harlow to return back to London, the night life in Harlow was wicked because you had the 3 main night clubs in the Harlow town centre which is the Millennium night club, Passions night club and CM20 night club and it was a great period when it came to the night life in Harlow.
Last time I raved in Harlow my mate Stevo the mad man put on a rave at the dog track "SIMPLY GARAGE" that was in 2007.
I went with Big Nastie them days I was living in Enfield
@@grime_garage Wow. 😊😊
U.K, racism central. Where did you film this? It wasn't the U.K. The sun is shining. 😂
I filmed this video in Palmers Green, North London.
The fact that I know exactly where your filming this is hilarious to me. I’ve lived in Harlow for 17 years now and it is the worst place to live. Worse than London as every area is incredibly bad, each area such as staple tye to Katherine’s is so bad to be especially at night. I’ve been threatened with knives down ally ways. People on the street tryna mug you. It’s fucking ridiculous. It’s not a safe place to live. Especially for someone my age. You can’t be out past dark.
I fully agree with you. Even though I didnt find Harlow scary at all, I do realise that Staple Tye and the Katherines both in Harlow is pretty dangerous especially in night time. I so glad that I didn't grow up in Harlow because it will drive me mad.
BS , if its that bad you would leave
Any black women there?
Harlow has a big black community now
I know that Harlow has changed now.
It’s almost like they want all white Essex people gone 🧐
@@krob2327 that's really bad.
@@Americasno1917 huh? It’s called the government not building enough houses so people don’t have to keep moving to cheaper areas. Like a domino effect.

Very odd because I have mixed race kids have lived here all my life and have not once had any racism. I am white. Never ever experienced any issues nor have my kids
Of course you are never going to experience racism because you are a white man.
No offense, but as a white guy, you wouldn't pick up on some of the the subtle ways in which you're mixed kids are suffering racism
Shhhh matt. We are in the middle of the agenda against white Essex people. They won’t be happy till nobody in Essex is white
