Belfast Racism Situation
Posted: Thu April 30, 2009 06:34 PM UTC
Hi

I'm Chinese and I was wondering how's the racism situation in Belfast currently?

I understand that it is carried out by a small group of people but how bad is it?


Thanks

Racism? as long as your nice to the local, and respect local culture,whether you are chinese or not, it will never be an issue. If your in Rome, do what the Romans do.

I really do not think you will encounter any more racism in Belfast than in any other European city, and it is most likely that you will encounter none whatsoever anyway (as is the case in any European city).

I've not heard that racism is a particular issue in Belfast - I never saw any signs of it when I was there.

I think there have been some internet articles (perhaps hyped?) about some semingly racist attacks in one particular area of the city several years ago. It may be that the OP has seen those.

As a British person I certainly had no idea whatsoever that Belfast had any more issues with racism than anywhere else, and I suspect that is the reality of the situation. (and certainly for visitors, as it is elsewhere in the UK).

Hi,

I've lived in Belfast since the day I was born and in all honesty there isn't a lot of Racism- I have many chinese & malasian friends and they have never had any trouble. In recent years Ive heard of a few racist attacks but anywhere where you have a large group of people and cultures, confrontations sometimes occur. I honestly think you'll be okay, on the whole, Belfast people are very friendly and hospitable! If you're worried though, send me a message and I'll answer any questions you have
