@Chunxueping. "Strange do not seem to have many Chinese members. Do you think they not welcome Chinese people? Very short sighted of them because we be useful, could do the catering for them."
I found this reply very amusing, glad you could make light of the topic discussed 
@Pluto925. I am from Preston and am disgusted and ashamed that you have had to single out the city for the grief that this incident has obviously caused you. I'm sure you know this anyway but not everybody in Preston is a neo-Nazi BNP thug and I hope, aside from that indicent, that living in Preston has been a harmonious time for you. In fact I would like to think that Preston is a much more multicultural society than the media has made out in the past.
I also agree with your point that political correctness is not the way to solving racial discrimination. |

I actually got a lot of grief over this "Light-Heart" comment and was accused of being a racist myself.
I am also aware that there is an extremely active and well-loved Chinese Christian Society in Preston at the University. I am always sorry that anybody has a bad experience but I know there is many good people in Preston and the local support for visiting Chinese students is very strong. |

Just got my 1st ever BNP leaflet through my door just now.
It is very easy to guess which houses around my area they came from. Houses with lots of abusive and environmentally unfriendly occupants. |

| They are indeed losers. The police have to visit these houses often. They breed like rabbits, and they deface, abuse and terrorize the neighborhood. ((Oh I hate this american spell checker - this looks nothing like english!)) |

| This reminds me the time when I was a delegate for my company attending a UKCMG conference in Birmingham. In my spare time, I walked around my hotel into the China Town district wandering around. I must have aroused suspicion of the local triad, and I came across the most mean looking man in my life. A few moments of observation and I was so sure he had to be a Triad gang member. |
