Apart from being a good looker, my dog is a working dog. Sometimes I take her to work with me and here she is with one of my old students. She has a very calming effect on some of them. But wait! Is that? Is it? Could it be? Yes it is, it’s Motty's dog! (Students face disguised for privacy reasons). This student, who was with me for 4 years from the age of 14, still keeps in touch with me even though he has now gone from living in care, to back to his family and a college place in Bradford. Last call I had from him he was asking my advice on how he could approach a girl that he had taken a shine to. I felt very happy and more than a bit proud that he felt he could still come to me for such advice. I like to think I’ve played an important part in his upbringing.

OK.
Edgware Rd is nothing like C.Garden in any shape or form. Edgware Rd is one of the main routes into central London, it's a fairly long road full of all sorts and has had a high Muslim number for the 20 years or so since I've known it. (which is why I was surprised when the London tube bombers targeted Edgware Rd). C.Garden will never be like a Middle Eastern country simply because of the fact it's a tourist hotspot. There are many different tourists there, thoughout the year.
Nice to see your article also says that people come to see the flash cars, which is exactly my experience of it. A lot of people get enjoyment out of seeing all the bling.
Well, all I can repeat is that it was absolutely jam packed with Arabs on Saturday night. Virtually all the outside cafes were full, and I do mean full, of male Arabs and the females were all walking round being eyed up. I got the impression it was like some mass dating ritual similar to the Manchester and Liverpool monkey parades of the past. I have no reason or agenda to lie about this, I was merely telling what I saw.
LOOK THEM UP BEFORE YOU START SCREAMING 'RACIST' FOR ME USING THE 'M' WORD!
I'm not saying they were there the previous Saturday night and I’m not saying they will be there this Saturday night but they were there last Saturday night. As someone who was actually there compared to someone who wasn’t, we'll just have to agree to disagree.

It's not that you said they were there that made you sound racist, it's the way you told your story:
Overrun, full of Arabs, thought were in some Middle Eastern country. Bet they don't pay their fines etc etc.
As I said, if you get upset (clearly you are because of the capital letters above) then it's time you chose your words more carefully.

Which you could have said but choose to be specific to an ethnicity. I wouldn't know whether your use of it was intentional or unintentional ergo I gave you benefit of the doubt.
What's wrong with being a Racist? You like calling a spade a spade so why do you get upset when someone calls you a racist. If you hold those views then fine, what'st the problem?
Racists are basically a bunch of inadequate people whose views range from simple prejudice to outright hatred of others they wish to blame for all their many 'ills'...
The label reminds them of their inadequacies...
(Although some do wear it as a 'badge of honour')

Words and context.
Infested with arabs? Would that be worse?
Over run implies being out of control, so was their presence a public disorder issue?
Poor choice of words.

So a little bit of a racist is ok in your book?
