Jillian’s Story

I’ve experienced a lot of culturaldiversity in Northern Ireland, Imean I was Jewish, and my twobest friends were a Protestantand a Catholic! What more couldyou ask for? My parents alwayswanted as much racial diversityas possible in my environment. Iwas never sent to a protestantor catholic but an integratedschool – on the very premisethat I would mix with other racesand creeds . . . Then when I wasabout 13 or 14, I was bullied,and towards the end they startedbringing my religion into it. Theywould say things like “Heil Hitler”and “all Jews should die”. Thebullying had been going on for awhile with all sorts of taunts, butI could handle those. It was onlywhen they started using religion

that it really got to me; I realisedI had to do something about it. Iwouldn’t even say they targetedme because I was Jewish: it wasjust another piece of ammunitionthey could throw, and it was onethat hurt. The things about theschool was that there wereHindus, Christians, Muslims,Chinese, Koreans – you name it,they’d all been there and I’dseen them experience hatred.But until then I’d never been onthe receiving end. Normally theschool came down on any racialharassment like a ton of bricks.But I found they didn’t reallyknow how to handle myproblem. Instead of punishingthe girls who were teasing me,they spent more time checkingto see if I was okay and I don’t

think that worked – they shouldhave come down harder on thebullies. I will never ever forgetthe Heil Hitler taunts. They mademe realise what it must be likefor people who experienceracism every day of their lives –something you don’t fullyunderstand until you become avictim. Living here you do seewhat happens when tworeligious groups clash, and youthink, “Is it worth it?” A lot ofpeople in England generallydon’t understand the wholenorthern Irish thing, asking is itnot like living in a war zone – itsjust what they see on TV Isuppose. But it’s not like that –my 18 years here have been thehappiest of my life.

Tony’s Story

My name is Tony, I’m HongKong Chinese. My family cameto Northern Ireland over twenty-five years ago to run their ownrestaurant and take-awaybusiness in Portadown. Theycame because they saw a goodbusiness opportunity and theirinstinct proved right becausenow the family run restaurantsand take-aways in Armagh,Portadown and Tandragee.Despite this business success,our family in common with otherChinese families, have faced ourshare of racist abuse. On myfirst day at school I wasmobbed. Few people had seen aChinese person before. Theykept following me around, askingme to speak Chinese. At first itwas curiosity, but then there

were those who turned nasty. Ihad to learn to ignore it. It’s beenthe same whenever I’ve beenworking in one of the family’stake-aways. You just putcomments down to drink. Peoplecome in, insult you, then want tobuy food – ironic really. Again, allyou can do is ignore it. Whenyou’re inside your own socialgroup you’re fine. It’s when youstep outside that safe group thatyou encounter problems. Goingto Queen’s University wherethere are so many differentraces, I felt the pressure of beingdifferent had been taken off me,though people did keep labellingme a Malaysian. My parents stillneed their children to translatefor them if they go to the doctorsor something like that. It’s a lot

easier for our generation – wehave had to adapt to this cultureto survive. I think it’s unlikely thatI’ll keep up Chinese traditions.My parents’ friends are allChinese and meet regularly withthe Chinese community in theBotanic area of Belfast. On thewhole, the Chinese communitytend to stick to themselveswhereas I’ve been through theschool system so my friends areNorthern Irish. I have been quitelucky in that my parents are fairlyliberal. My brother is married to awhite girl and my parentssupported him in that. I know alot of people in the Chinesecommunity who would reallydisapprove of that.

Mark’s Story

My name is Mark, I’m a Travellerand I was born in Dublin in thelate 1970s. I lived in theDunsink/Finglas area of the citywhere my family made a goodliving in the car parts business,as well as recycling scrap. In1984 my family decided to moveto England, taking the ferry fromBelfast, but when we got to thecity, we pulled into the GlenRoad camp for the night andended up staying. My motherand father are originally fromBelfast, but had to movebecause of the Troubles whenthey got married in the early1970s. When I first arrived inBelfast, I went to a travellersonly school. But I didn’t noticethis at the time because I wasused to segregation: forinstance, in Dublin, all theTravellers who were on socialwelfare had to sign on at thesame time and same place inthe city centre (it was the samefor Travellers in Belfast). Inschool we didn’t get a propereducation, because there wasno national curriculum and no

transferral system to secondaryschools for young Travellers thathad an interest in a particularsubject. Also in the school therewas no playground and nocafeteria. It’s only now thatschools are changing. As I havesaid, I didn’t realise thatsegregation was racist at thetime, but growing up I started tonotice that Travellers werediscriminated against. Growingup in West Belfast, I didencounter what you would callovert racism – that is, youngpeople calling us gyppos andtinkers – and then there wascovert racism – this is where myfriends and me were turnedaway from youth clubs etc. withlame excuses, like “We’re full”.Then there is institutionalracism, like for the past 30 yearsthe Glen Road camp has had noelectricity and no sanitationfacilities. This is because of theinaction of governmentagencies, DOE and the CityCouncil. This still affects thepsychological and physicalhealth of the Travellers living in

these conditions. Although theCity Council attempted to buildaccommodation for theTravellers on that particularcamp, they made a completehash of the whole development,resulting in sub-standardaccommodation with faultymaterials and lack ofconsultation with the community.A similar site was beingdeveloped for the Monagh Roadcamp and in that case the wholedevelopment had to be literallypulled down because what theydeveloped was of a flaweddesign. I am not saying thatracism only exists here in Belfastit exists everywhere. Forinstance, back in Dublin, therewas an “official” Travellers siteacross the road from our campand there was a warden and hisAlsatian dog that was “in chargeof” that site. This suggested thatTravellers should be watchedand needed to be kept in line. Isuppose this happenedeverywhere at that time. Thesesites were like reservations the wayTravellers were and are treated.
