John: Did you hear those blokes saying stuff about Pakistanis at the bus stop earlier?

David: No! Why didn't you say something?

John: I dunno. It's not that simple is it?

David: Yeah. Y'know, my Mum reckons most people are, y'know prejudiced about Asians and black people and that.

John: I think more people maybe don't like Asians, but I dunno... I mean, people go on about them being different, and they don't go on about that so much with blacks do they?

David: No, but then they go on about blacks being muggers don't they...

John: ...But I wonder if your Mum's right, I mean that most people are prejudiced...

David: She says she goes on what she hears. Being Jewish but without people really knowing, she hears things about Jews being mean, and having lots of money.

Tzu Lee: That must be really humiliating.

David: She hears worse things about black people and Asian people, things they would never say to your face.

John: Yeah, everybody's got something to say haven't they? There's always something about...'Oh there's too many of them in the country'... 'or they take people's jobs'....

David: ...and 'they all sign on and live off the state', that's what our neighbour's always on about, when he's not banging on about the crime rate....

Tzu Lee: ...or 'they shouldn't stick to their own ways', don't forget that one.

David: But what do they really think? I mean, do you think most people sort of think those things and just don't talk about it much, or do they really not mind?

John: Dunno. Anyway, why are you all steamed up about it all of a sudden?
