I agree with this completely and co-sign with Ripley's comments as well.i think you are letting the guy off way too lightly. that stuff is deeply prejudiced and can't be construed as anything but. plenty of people don't mean to be racist but that doesn't alter the fact that they are. however, i cannot see how you can take the time to write something like that and not realise what you are doing. a while ago those were the predominant views about jews, then black people, then south asian people. now it's a newer group. just because an immigrant community is less established, it doesn't mean that it should have to ride out those kind of repulsive attitudes and preconceptions until the next bunch of scapegoats arrives. it's wrong on every level, every time, no matter who is saying it. anyone with those attitudes should be fucking ashamed of themselves, especially if they will willingly voice them, far less write them down. anyone defending such behaviour, or condoning by silence should be, too. it's disgusting and reading that makes me feel genuinely sick.
Forum posts are often ambiguous and can be given a generous, benefit-of-the-doubt type of interpretation, and often that's preferable for maintaining a sense of community . . . however, the other side of the coin is the responsibility to take a stand against trash that crosses the line and to call it out as bullshit when it happens. And as Stelfox states with precision, that's clearly what we have here.
In other words, am in total agreement with Stelfox, Ripley, and Eden ....
