It has nothing to do with racism. Thanks so much for attempting to define racism - if the person hadn't been black but white, you wouldn't have assumed he thought you were a 'neo-nazi', you would have thought he was simply being a dickhead - after all, there's a lot of white trash in East Dulwich. Therefore your judgement was an act of racism - most people are prejudice in some way and you are clearly one of them. As a final thought, have you ever seen a black neo-nazi? Or an Indian one? Therefore the fact that you are white and he was black also means you made a racist judgement. Unless of course, you have a swastika tattooed on your forehead and were goose stepping down the road in full paramilitary dress...

Hyprocritseville, TN, here we come... Oh dear - have you recovered from having an empty coke can thrown at you yet? Obviously not as you clearly have anger management issues. Don't assume that because the person was black, he was throwing it at you because you are white - that is implied racism. Anyway, I can put you in touch with a counselor, if you're still traumatised by this terrible incident.

You assumed that because he was a black man, throwing a can at a honky, that he was doing it as an act of racism - therefore implying all sorts of racial stereotypes - which is itself an act of racism.

Oh no, not an empty coke can! You must have been traumatised!! Get a grip. I've been intimidated more by white trash than black people - being white myself, am I to assume white people have a problem with me being white? Of course not. Who's racist here? I wonder if you might be...

Sounds to me like you have a problem with HIS colour - not the other way round. When he threw the bottle, did he shout racist abuse at you? If not, consider him an idiot rather than assuming just because he was black and you're white, that HE'S racist. Get over it - it was a plastic bottle, not a brick...

Why do middle class white people always think they don't share any social responsibility? It would be a taste of reality for the smug media folk and their over priced prams. Tarot, I don't know who you are but you come across as being as dense as the people you're attacking in your post.
