Some more Romanian statistics taken from a police response to a freedom of information request. 2012: Burglary 441, Robbery 93, All Other Violent Offences 779, Rape 20, All Other Sexual Offences 178, Murder 3, All Other Offences 5869. Total 7383. 2011: Burglary 385, Robbery 67, All Other Violent Offences 760, Rape 41, All Other Sexual Offences 197, Murder 5, All Other Offences 5332. Total 6787. 2010: Burglary 312, Robbery 75, All Other Violent Offences 657, Rape 31, All Other Sexual Offences 151, Murder 1, All Other Offences 5169. Total 6396. 2009: Burglary 178, Robbery 49, All Other Violent Offences 476, Rape 35, All Other Sexual Offences 120, Murder 1, All Other Offences 4099. Total 4958. In 2012 (from Office of National Statistics) there were 101,000 Romanian born Nationals in the UK. So crime rate for 2012 is 7.31% Figures for say South African Nationals in the UK were: 2012: Burglary 2, Robbery 2, All Other Violent Offences 108, Rape 3, All Other Sexual Offences 10, Murder 0, All Other Offences 207. Total 332. In 2012 (from Office of National Statistics) there were 209,000 South African born Nationals in the UK. So crime rate for 2012 is 0.16% I decided to double-check your maths and surprisingly my calculator shows completely different results. Romanian crime rate for 2012 = 0.07% South African crime rate for 2012 = 0.001% England & Wales crime rate for 2012 = 0.07% So, what has been proved is that South Africans are great people and the Romanians are as criminal as the next guy, but no more. Really? 7383 as a percentage of 101,000 is 7.3099%.

The point is the 'racism' judgement should be careful ground. I've been called a racist on Hol by several posters.....I've also called one poster a racist and another an antisemitic......While I've also at one point been called....rather amusingly antisemitic myself. I think it's at best avoided unless you are very sure.....Sometimes people just say stupid stuff....To really know you need time in debates.....Also....rather importantly you need to be fair minded yourself....Not common with some once the blood is up.

I'm disappointed that the 'Judge' is no longer with us. As far as I could see he was a bloody good poster.

I agree that everyone has preferences in many different aspects. In terms of the racial sphere I wouldn't easily use the world 'racist' myself because it becomes an inarticulate device......This idea that someone's position is either 'racist' or 'non racist'.....Like everything in life real positions are on scales and not extremes. I think judging people over the hue of their skin makes no sense.....Also, everyone deserves a chance once you meet them......As I was brought up to believe....'treat everyone as well as you can the first time you meet them....after that, treat them how they treat you'. A racial aspect doesn't really fit with that.....However, I won't deny that I prefer my own culture and customs or similar ones to those that are significantly different to me.

Is someone directly calls you a racist, please hit the 'report thread to moderator', and I'll take a look, and discuss it with the other moderators. Similarly if anyone regards a post as directly racist, offensive or personal, report the thread and we'll take a look.
