Racist creeps should lighten up and learn


26/ 6/2003

LAST month's Asian News was a right slap in the face for all those racist who run down UK Asian families as 'Paki scroungers'.
What did we see? A story on the retiring Mayor of Oldham, Riaz Ahmad, man of courage, who did not flinch in his quest for harmony between the communities even when his own home was petrol bombed by fascist psychos while he and his precious family slept.
We saw Sultan Ali, ex-shepherd boy, cruelly crippled, who became the Mayor of Rochdale and then we saw the two Indian guys who worked as kids in their dad's fish and chip shop, now owning a brewery and producing Merseyside's last remaining home brewed pint.
Listen racist dumbos a new culture like the Asians bring life and colour to the often clapped-out back streets of the industrial North, stop being scarred little creeps with a chip on your shoulders - make friends, you might learn something.

S Malik, Oldham
