Its cool the #Desi uncle is celebrating 5 decades of running a successful #BritishAsian owned business in #Dudley - but I'm a bit cynical about "formerly" racist customers being 100% apologetic.
Maybe they are to some extent, but would they still be the same if instead he'd become Lord Mayor of Dudley, or a policeman, a magistrate/judge or someone else in a position of authority who would have the power to make life more difficult for the gammons rather than just serve them?
I think "attitudes have changed" as much because of sheer force of numbers - there are more brown/black people about in Britain these days, so folk in #multicultural areas *have* to accept that, or get up and leave (and even then that doesn't always work!)

Seeing much more use of #spyGlasses by middle aged YouTuber men "auditing" #petrol stations in the #UK (either to check fuel quality or whether the pumps are accurate), some are now starting to covertly film staff as well (who are often brown people) which they weren't doing as much before..
We all know #fuel is bloody expensive and tax high - but #TradingStandards do a good job of checking up on #forecourts and have proper calibrated kit for this purpose.
British motorists have always moaned about price of petrol before I was born (let alone started driving), but it seems to have got worse in recent years (even before Trump's escalations) and seems to coincides with more #BritishAsian folk working in this industry (including becoming CEOs of fuel station chains)

#Retail / #purchasing dilemma (may be a UK-specific thing?) - folk on here say "support small independent businesses", but particularly for #motoring related items/services, not only do they have higher prices and lower stock / customer service capabilities , you search for info on the owners and many turn out to be Reform activists.
OTOH pick middle sized chains (in #automotive there's pretty much a duopoly between #LKQ / #EuroCarParts and #GSF ) and they have a diverse staff - many women in frontline roles driving vans for deliveries, and lots of #BritishAsian and other ethnic minority workers in positions of senior management....

The Home Secretary is just repeating herself now, not answering questions, just throwing back smears....it's like watching the Trump regime really.
Not surprising as Blue Labour share a Steve Bannon connection with Trump (and Epstein?)#ShabanaMahmood #UKPOL #UKPOLITICS #WhiteNationalism #BritishAsian #Fascism #RefugeesWelcome #BlueLabour #Labour #SteveBannon

Every day on the streets of the [uk], in playgrounds, classrooms, shops, at work, on public transport, [Black] and minority ethnic people are racially harassed.

Roadman to #Desi uncle pipeline (or coolant lines?) 😁
I reckon once #TRHamza has finished this project #car , every time one of his relatives gets married they will be asking him to do the wedding transport 😁
I think h'es grown up a bit after his leadfooted friend badly crashed the BMW he was a passenger in a few years back, and he landed up in the care of the NHS's finest for quite a while (I remember him making a video from his hospital bed praising them)
Genuinely good video too, its 47 minutes but its all him working on the car with 0 filler material (its as good as the Chinese engine overhaul videos)

My friend told me that an elderly british white man declined to be seen by a Black Doctor or Doctor of Color.
My friend commented loudly on this in the ward.

Sign from a #Gurdwara in #Barking East #London - this is to discourage folk from turning up for their #wedding on a #horse accompanied by #drums (the dhol) and #Bhangra #music like a scene from a #Bollywood movie, as doing so is not respectful in the gurdwara, and will also cause a general holdup and traffic hazard on the A124 Gurdwara Way which is a very busy main road.. #SikhCommunity #Desi #BritishAsian

The saddest thing about Nadiya's experiences is she is a good few years younger than myself, yet nothing really improved in all that time.. I can definitely relate to the pressures to be both #British and #Asian at the same time, in varying different proportions depending on who you happen to be around at the time #BritishAsian #UK #ESEA #Desi

#Birmingham (UK) #Mela organisers, working alongside Birmingham #Pride will host its first #LGBT+ village - this is good to see happening as the #BritishAsian community suffers from issues with homophobia and toxic masculinity (and not just amongst older conservative/religious folk)
