Good point about relevance
Enzyme - I think it's just because in over 20 years of working with people of all backgrounds, I've yet to come across such as a trio of scammers as I described. Is the fact they are African somehow to do with it ? I don't know, but I tend to think so. I think it is a cultural thing. So that makes me a racist, I imagine. Because I wouldn't be making the same distinction if they all had, for example, a moustache or black hair or liked the Eagles. It's not the physical attribute of their skin colour that was possibly responsible for their behaviour.

Does my comment mean I wouldn't employ or befriend or talk to someone if they were African ? Does it arse.

When I was a lad, apartheid was still very much alive and kicking and I was convinced - until they released Mandela - that there would be a civil war in South Africa between the whites and the blacks, and in my childhood / young adulthood I thought that if such a thing came to pass, I would be there, fighting on the side of the blacks.
