    If it's a perceived concern, it remains a concern whether it's right or wrong.

    To be fair do you remember the warnings the foreign office gave out before the South African world cup like it was going to be Armageddon? We didn't get that here in the States.

    Casual racism is for everyone!

    Oh that makes me hungry. and reminds me I'm out of tofu.

    I don't know that there's much to say here. It's racist.

    Again, I'm confused about the issue here, is anyone alright with them saying "oh yeah, avoid places with people who have brown skin?"

    Rather than pick on races it would be far more diplomatic (and sensible) to actually name areas which are considered 'less safe'. Lewisham, Newcross, Old Bermondsey, New Bermondsey, Cold Blow Lane, SE16 etc......

    Basically stay away from SE London then, particularly after dark, and be extra careful of the street philosophers meeting held every night at the deptford anchor

    I didn't want to say this, as actually when you look at the make-up of those areas you can... Yeah. I think this is most likely what they were trying to say.

    It doesn't excuse the Chinese airline making that statement, a statement which actually says "You can judge the safety of the area by the colour of the skin of the people around you.".. which is obviously fucking stupid.

    Once again: not defending it for one second, more trying to work out what they were trying to suggest to their tourists.

    Edit: I see this has been sunk, probably just as well really.
