Interesting experience on the Bakelooo Line at the weekend. The
carriage had about 20 people in it, mainly scattered around. At Oxford
Circus two women (sans male escorts) entered one end of the carriage
and sat down. They were dressed all in black - like they do in Iraq /
Iran. They had the real slitty-eyed look. Well quite a few people
looked at them and then at each other and suddenly decided that they
really did not want to be sitting near them, and they moved towards
the other end of the carriage near where I was. Not that that would
have saved them in an emergency. One of two muttered "well you never
know do you?" I got off at Charing Cross, but noticed that by then the
two women had their end of the carriage all to themselves. What would
you have done? SB.

What's wrong with Japanese or Chinese women wearing black in public?

But I'll follow the general consensus that you are talking about Muslim
people here. I accept it as being a normal part of traveling in a city with
visitors and residents from around the world. If you didn't realise it, that
(racistly described) scene above happens every day on the Tube, mainline
trains, London buses and probably on the buses in other British cities.
That it happened on the weekend leads me to suspect that those moving away
were not regular London commuters but day visitors and tourists.
