Abhor racism (and most other isms), but roasted rat is not bad you know.
Cultural differences aside, why even go into a place if you hate the people so much?

I was up for following the guy outside and kicking his face till it was part of the landscape...ho hum.
In hind sight is the guy worth possible criminal charges, depending on the extent of his injuries? It doesn't take much to kill someone, especially with kicks to the head.

The post that was quoted here has been removedIt seems like Paddy Scotsman and Paddy Englishman really only live in Ireland so they can take pops at Paddy Irish man?
I've seen plenty of racism in England when I lived there a few short years ago, and even at the FA Cup semi final last Sunday, there were Chelski fans making heil hitler style arm movements to the camera.

What you describe about the Chinese girls seems more of a descriptive tool, rather than anything offensive.
