Racism: Still a Major Issue?

Racism in the UK was a big issue 15 years ago: if you're Asian (yellow or black), you can't walk down the streets to Tesco to buy a pint of milk without having ur butt whooped by some racist buggers. 15 years later, it seems situations have settled down quite a bit. In Manchester, the diversified student population meant more than 50% of the city is crowded by "non-white" people. Do we all live in harmony? I don't think so. There is still a level of racism lurking deep down everyone's heart; no matter how nice they treat you, there is always an underlying differencial attitute and views within their personality, dying to burst out.

Here's an example: My sister and I were walking back from church on Sunday, and a car full of young white teenagers drove pass us, stopped their car, and asked us, "excuse me, do you know where I can find some Chinese people?" Obviously a prank; obviously we were offended. Funny though: he asked us in such a serious tone, my sister and I were dumbstruck to think of anything witty to answer back. We just shrugged and said, "nope, I don't know any." After that incident, my sister and I were thinking on how we should've answered something witty and funny, such as:

Racist white teenager: "Excuse me, do you know where I can find some Chinese people?"
Me: "Yeah, sure. If you continue driving eastwards, for about... 10,000km... You will end up in China!"

OR

Racist white teenager: "Excuse me, do you know where I can find some Chinese people?"
Me: (takes out mobile phone and checks phonebook) "Yeah, sure. Who are you looking for?"

The conclusion is: The Brits are naturally one of the most racist people in the world, worse than the Yanks.
