what would you do in the following scenarios?

If you got on a bus and saw a white bloke come on with a backpack acting a bit shifty and mumbling prayer what would you do?

and..

If it was an asian male, with full beard, mumbling arabic and sweating, backpack of course what would you do?

first answer... Id think he was a weirdo.

2nd answer... Id think it was a bomb.

sorry, nothing racist in this. Its just that suicide bombers DO tend to be 'dark skinned Muslim types'

sorry but they do...

Nothing to be sorry about Rebel as I believe many of us would think like that - hence the point of Hipsters thread.

I probably would think the white bloke is a harmless nutter, I probably would think the Asian bloke is too but I may well get off the bus and catch the next one along just to be on the safe side!

Hipsters point proved with me.

I would probably think both were nutters but would be worried by the asian guy to be honest, noting racist in it but that's just the way I think most people would feel.

Though if you asked someone direct on tv, a celeb for examply, they would probably give a different answer to look like they are not racist.

I,d be just as worried by the white nutter as i had an experience with one on a tube in london late at night a few years ago. A Bearded hippy fucker in a combat jacket talking to himself and glaring at me and the only 2 others on the train. He had his hand in a duffle bag sitting opposite me he kept staring at me so i decided to stare back his mutterings got louder so i told him to shut the fuck up weirdo, it usually works but not this time he pulled out a long knife from the bag and made to get off his seat i didn,t let him i got to him while he was at a dissadvantage and broke his arm on a steel rail took his knife and got off at the next stop and dropped it in a bin. Otherwise it was a pretty normal fucking day.

John McClain?

No wonder he is angry.

The white bloke I would consider as a refugee from our 'Care in the Community' failed experiment, and probably ignore him, although remaining wary of him. With the other guy, I can't help but think of the old adage that 'Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims', and probably get off the bus if my initial assesment of him started to raise the hackles on the back of my neck. Rightly or wrongly, thats how I would react.

Bet i fucking wouldn,,,t.

We haven't been told if the secret smoker who caused the hold-up on the M6 toll was Asian or not. Why didn't someone on the bus just ask him what the fuck was smoke doing coming out of his bag ?

Doc Brown seems to be an expert on racial profiling.
