I'm afraid I don't know how to 'tag' people in quotes, so please bear with me.

Where I come from, in my opinion I see racism happening more against white people than anyone else, and it isn't taken as seriously as when it happens to people that aren't white.

Oh dear. It appears your white privilege is showing, MissMisa.

Race/gender should be irrelevent.

No it shouldn’t. Race and Gender each hold important problems, and by suggesting this you are ignoring these problems.

I'm sure everyone wants to get somewhere based on their own merits rather than getting somewhere because they are a girl, or because they are disabled, or because they are an ethnic minority because the company/institution 'needs diversity.

I’m not sure what you are getting at here. Are you implying that a number of the ethnic minorities in your University got in on merit of their race, as opposed to achievement?

Point proven. It's not racism because it's white people.

Racism equals prejudice plus power. In a white majority country it is possible to experience prejudice or even discrimination for being white, but as the whites hold power, it is not racist. White people are not being oppressed by POC, and our race rarely becomes an issue in our lives.

That is not to say I approve of white discrimination, however. Any discrimination is a serious issue and should be handled accordingly.

Your hypothetical situation, which probably isn't even true considering 90% of the people in that area are asian (you'd be stupid to be racist against asians in an area that's 90% asian)

Institutional racism.

In my Uni, I am the minority

This may be, but you are the overwhelming majority in this country.

Calling me a 'white bitch' is calling me a white bitch, whether white people are the majority or not is completely irrelevent.

Are you seriously implying that being called a ‘white bitch’ is in any way the same as being called a racial slur? Being called the N-word, or a ‘chink’, or any other similar term does more than just hurt people’s feelings.

I don't care if their mum told them white people are bad when they were young, or they've had bad experiences with white people.

You are being dissmissive of and belittling the struggles many face every day.

Multiculturalism to me should be people living and working together, but what's actually happened is large groups of each race live in seperate places. It's like they have territory.

This is not because they choose to do so. Please watch this video. If you don’t want to watch all of it, at least skip to about 6:00 and watch to the end (It is about New Orleans but I feel it is relevant).

I don't really think England has a national identity anymore. It makes me sad, I'm English and I want a defined culture. I wish people from other cultures would have embraced our culture a bit more, but now everyone has brought their own with them and ignored ours then it's kinda dead.

The BNP and EDL reciprocate these sentiments.
On top of which, I don’t know what you think a defined culture is, because I’m English and I experience English culture every day.

It'd be nice if people just took the effort to speak English at the very least.

Once again, you are speaking from a very privileged position. Have you put any thought at all into why this might not be as easy as it sounds?
Also, what do you believe is ‘enough’ effort?
