Oh, and as for her comments:
Men – be honest. Have you ever found yourself walking home at night, and been stopped in the street by a woman
masturbating at you?
No. But then, I don't go out that much at all. And if I do, I drive.
Or has a woman ever followed you down the street, while shouting that she wants to “shag” you?
Yes - once. It was weird. I think she was on drugs.
Likewise, white people: has someone ever followed you around a shop suspiciously?
Yes. I was in John Lewis in Peterborough, looking at shirts. The security guy followed me about, then talked loudly on his radio about a 'large individual'. In the end, he went away.
Have the police ever stopped and searched you for no reason?
Yes. Early one morning, I was sitting outside Bracknell library when 2 police officers approached me and asked why I was sitting there. I explained that it was the only seat in the town centre where I could sit out of the rain.
On another occasion years later, police just stopped me in my car and asked to search the boot. I complied, then went on my way.
Has someone shouted a racial slur at you, or treated you as somehow inferior to them because of your race?
Yes. 'What you doing here, whitey?' was the hostile response when I went in a blues club in Sheffield.
'What're you doing hanging around with this white kafir, man?' - question asked of my Asian friend by one of his brothers.
On another occasion, while out walking across Peterborough to the cinema, I encountered 2 young Asian muslims (probably Pakistani, although I didn't stick around to check). One swore at me in a non-English language and spat on the ground at my feet. The other one held him back and told him off. I didn't stick around.
On another occasion, I walked past what looked like a mosque or Asian temple in Peterborough. I looked at it as I walked past, admiring the architecture. A young Asian man lurking nearby shouted at me and told me to go away, as this was their part of town. Really? I didn't see the signs saying 'This is Asian territory - stay out'.
