If the people refered to had been ,say,Caribean then look out. Chinese in this country suffered from years of full on racism. That includes Wales
I'm in Swansea city centre working, I see nearly as many non-white faces as white these days. Even thse white faces have non welsh accents, there were Canadians yesterday, Eastern Europeans and irish and quite a few English accents too. A Chubb engineer was here from Weston and a sprinkler system service was being done last week by a bloke from Essex. There's quite a few Chinese faces too as well as Southern Asian and Malay and Philipino.
Racism is barmy. The Chinese are taking over though!
Snooker has declined so much since technology became more advanced, life is too fast paced looking at your phone every 2 seconds now to sit down to either watch or play Snooker for hours. Snooker is always an attractive sport to countries lacking physical sporting attributes, I'm surprised Darts has not taken off yet in some Asian countries.

What you mean is, people do not have the attention span to watch a game that takes hours to play, they can't sit through a single 20 minute frame let alone 3-4 hours a match.
I used to love playing snooker. Wouldn't mind a game now but I've no one to play against. None of my friends play snooker and the local snooker club was closed down and converted to flats.

Well thank you but, nah. I like my little corner, we have a big garden, 2 big green spaces nearby and the Gower just down the road. The way the climate is going I'll be able to go in the sea without the brass monkeys soon too. Plus Ican still get to the Swans.
Besides, I was engaged to a woman from Liverpool once, she left me with some sour memories.

It’s not just attention span, when you think of snooker in its heyday getting 30 million people watching the final you have to remember in those days there was only three or four channels and the other two would have switched off at about 11 o clock so there was literally nothing else to watch.
Now you’ve got thousands of channels, sports, history, documentaries, the god channel, Babestation etc. There’s too much choice.
