Britain's Got Talent star Susan Boyle is being cruelly taunted, intimdated and attacked by a gang of youths, it was reported last night.

Witnesses have claimed singing sensation Boyle, who suffers from Asperger Syndrome, is being 'hounded' by a group of 15 young people who live near her in West Lothian, Scotland.

The gang of mainly boys is said to have thrown a flaming piece of paper at her in one attack and pelted the buses she was riding on with stones in another.

Sure.

They are genetically distinct from each other so they are different "races".

There are a number of different races in Africa and Asia too.

You do their DNA and you come up with different groups. Some are very very different even if outwardly they resemble each other. The Sami and Basque are two such groups.

There are around 5000 different races of humans. Or conversely there is only one race of humans with a bunch of different breeds.

You pays your money and makes your choice.

The kids do have a point, though.

There are around 5000 different races of humans.

There might be 5,000 different ethnic groups, but there are only three or four different races: Caucasian, Negroid, Mongoloid and Australoid. Or European, African, Asian and Australian aborigine.

This calling numerous different groups a different race is a lot of PC nonsense many have adopted so they can throw the racism charges around and more groups can claim to be victims of racism.

“English and Scots are different races.”


Uh,uh——not so.

I am sorry but no.

If they are genetically distinct they are a different race.

And this pre-dates "PC nonsense" by a number of centuries.

A child that was french and Hungarian was "mixed race". If you were Han Chinese and Vietnamese you were "mixed".

Sorry that it offends your tender modern sensibilities.

Sigh———I guess that makes me bi-racial.:-)

Because she’s a woman and less likely to punch them in the nose?

Also from the article: “They pick on the most vulnerable people. If there is more than one person they won’t do it – because they are too scared.”

Read another article re the attacks and it’s more likely that they are English speaking neighborhood punks. They ridicule her with name calling and the quotes are in standard English (includes profanity). The article says that they began to torment her once she became famous and there is some indication it’s partially because she’s unable to react well to such torment - her Aspergers means she doesn’t process information well. Punks would like to see a woman cringing and stunned - if nothing else out of sick hatred based on jealousy re her wealth.

Lol, total nonsense. The Hugarians and French are both Caucasian. The other two are both Mongoloid. And the three or four racial classifications are definitely not modern. It’s the PC modernists like you who are trying to do away with the old three or four racial groups.

I took an anthropology course well before the dawn of the PC era. Your talking a lot of revisionist nonsense whether you realize it or not.

Good night.

Are you sure they are different races or do you mean different nationalities. There is a difference you might want to get acquainted with.

It sounds like you have extremely thin skin because you were so easily offended. Not a good thing on FR. Here; I’ve taken the time to find a website to explain the various differences between race, nationality, ethnicity, etc. I hope it helps so you don’t make the same mistake in the future.

I just want to know if they are Muslims.

The article alluded to racial animus by the youthful harassers. That might be a clue.
