I'm white, so I can't be racially abused.
LOL, why do people keep saying this?
If i were Racially abused i think i'd LOL. Unless it was in a threatening situation, but cos it was an old bloke i'd have stolen his flatcap.
How do you feel if you were racially abused?

Try moving to a different country. I'm white and have had a fair bit of racist/ xenophobic comments screamed at me, including being spat on (Korea). It's not that nice really.

from what youve said i bet that bloke would have had something stupid and ignorant to say to anyone that stood up to him, dont let it wind you up fella!
Yeah...a bloke at my school once got called skimmed milk...cos he called the black guy chocolate drop (aged 8 argument) oh how i laughed at the class come back from the black guy.

Of all the things I expected to see in a thread about racism I think "back when I were a lad" was close to the last in the list.
Don't encourage it, you know that saying is a load of mince.

If people want to be racist then let them. Words never did anyone any harm. I've been the subject of racism along with many other things before and I am not phased by it in the slightest.
Thats why I mock it.
You can destroy pretty much anything by turning it into a figure of ridicule.

What ever happened to good old fashioned British racism, godamn PC nonsense has even watered down our racism
You know what I mean tho, people (minorities) harp on about racism in this day and age, and tbh, much of what is complained about (or publicised I guess) is absolutely nothing compared to what went on 20-30 years ago.

Sticks and stones.
Words can do a lot of harm. And what do you do when it escalates into violence? "It's okay, never done anyone harm."
People around here, myself included, regularly get racial insults hurled at them. The difference is, it's whilst walking through Shelton and the scum shouting it are young Pakistani youths. What's even more shocking is that when they're informed the police refuse to take any action because, and these are their words, "We can't actually arrest them as we don't want to cause a riot"!
Im half Chinese/half English and only ever had someone say anything to me personally once and that was some crazy old bugger in WH Smiths. He was just stood staring at me like I was scum so I asked him what his problem was and he started going off on one - "I lost my father to you people!". I assume he thought I was Japanese, probably didnt help that I was carrying a Jap car mag 
Outside of that i've not really come across it, to be honest I always forget that I even look slightly oriental, I just see myself as English, born and bred here so I dont really think about it. You get idiots everywhere though, they cant think of anything else to say so just pick out the most obvious feature to use as an 'insult'.

I would care the same about being racially abused as I would if I was abused in any other way. I don't see the big deal*. Infact I might care less - racial abuse is far less personal and far more generalised than calling a fat kid a fatty or something.
*Between different forms of abuse, obviously. I'm not saying I support it, far from it, but I dislike all forms of abuse equally rather than take the opinion that some abuse is fine yet racial abuse is the worst thing ever omg etc.

I live in Shelton and never have any problems at all to be honest. I guess you're just getting unlucky.
And I really can't believe that the police said that tbh. Why would there ever be riots because one of them got arrested? Shelton does have a lot of Muslims but it's hardly a violent place.

Lol, the skimmed milk insult is brilliant
