Comments on Outrage at "Immigration On the Back of a Lorry"

Anna Chen

First off, I'm an Englishwoman. I was born here, as was my mother. My father came here in the 1930s. I happen to be half Chinese  and I look totally Chinese. But I'm still an Englishwoman. Describing oneself as "an Englishman" tells me little about you except your geographical location.
 
On interracial relationships
I am a chinese Malaysian female,married and have been with my then British husband, for eleven years and we now have a 2 year old little girl. The UK is now my home but I do still feel like an outsider, mainly because I am constantly treated as one.
 
Everything I Know about Karate I Learned from The Muppets - Comments
I just finished reading that article by Richard Ng and like many BBCs can completely relate to what happened and still happens in his story. I myself am a BBC and have grown up in a country where stereotyping and taunting is common place and done without shame or frown upon.
 
Praise and some suggestions

I happen to be a Brit (half-Welsh half English)...I met large numbers of South East Asian's who had come to the UK to study at my university. In particular I got to know a lot of Malaysians. One of those became my girlfriend, then fiancee, and we are getting married this year...

 
Site comments

I think the site is really good. It is really welcoming to different races and those of different cultural backgrounds.

LOVE the site. I don't often think that websites have charm, yet that's how I'd describe dimsum.co.uk/ Perhaps it's because I can totally relate to it.

 
Feeding the mouth that bites
In old commonwealth countries like Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong, trade in domestic help from the Philipines and Indonesia is especially lively. Young women, usually single graduates, are choosing to leave their families and take up live-in positions thousands of miles away from home.
 
Immigration On The Back Of A Lorry
In the 1920s a young Chinese woman got ready to perform the Tea Ceremony, the last and most important stage in the marriage ritual.
 
Whites will be a Minority in 100 years
Conjecture is something that all of us do from time to time. From childhood we play with ideas of what the world will be like in the future. There is no harm in such visions and in fact it is actually important mental stimulation. However, publishing racialized conjecture on the front page in today's xenophobic climate is clearly irresponsible.
 
Campaign Against Police Racism
Dimsum recently attended a meeting organised by the Monitoring Group. There we learned of the extent of police racism towards the Chinese community throughout the UK. Four cases were highlighted to us in particular. Jack and Diana summarise the literature handed out to us and what we heard.
