No sweetheart, people like you are.
Best thing to do is give her community service working with ethnic minorities - it may make a lighbulb go on in her head.

A shame someone on the train didn't call the police and at least follow her until they arrived. Then she would have been dealt with!

I'm not for one minute suggesting that there are now more female racists - but you rarely see a lone bloke shouting this bile on a train (they normally wait till they've got their BNP/EDL mates backing them up)
Do these women feel they're untouchable, that there's little chance of getting their head kicked in - which would probably happen if a bloke started spouting off.
Just an observation....

What's "interesting" is the number of racist females caught on film recently - there was the lady in the Croydon area (very similar to this one) and another on the tube....all shouting their mouths off.

Why be ashamed to say it if that is your opinion?
