I was thinking this morning - as one does - that 'Asian Undertakers' doing it for other faiths, is a bit like those Chinese takeaways that advertise 'English Meals' on their menu. Personally I cannot see connection between Chinese Take aways and an Asian Undertakers... Faith is not Chinese Takeaway service.. Perhaps if seen from Asian perspective they want to know there is specific funeral arrangements available I don't see the harm, people get too judgemental over all the race/colour/transgender etc etc cards played In reality does it matter? Bout time the World calmed down

Bout time the World calmed down Pretty sure that is aimed at me,well tough 😡! I still feel that if the boot was on the other foot,the funeral director would be called racist.Perhaps if seen from an English Christian perspective-they too want to know there are specific funeral arrangements available.

I think you are probably right. But nowadays people just wouldn't risk sticking a sign up saying 'Specialises in White Christian funeral arrangements'...wouldn't be good for trade to identify with just one branch of society plus would prove a target for the Racist Band Wagoners ...

No, I think you are mistaken in this. They are not saying they provide funerals only for Asians. The implications is that they provide funerals Asian-style. If you go to a funeral in Asia it is quite different from a traditional funeral in the UK. No cucumber sandwiches for a start. So it is about the style of funeral provided, it is not about the ethnicity of the customers.

If a business is offering a specific type of funeral, namely an Asian funeral, I can’t see what could be wrong with calling the business “Asian Funeral Directors”. The Lightning fast jet aircraft was made by a company called English Electric. Was that a racist company name because it implied that only English people could be their customers?

And I suppose 'Asian grooming gangs' are only interested in combing horses' manes. I'm quite happy for 'Asians' (Japanese? Mongolian? ha!) to have their own way of doing things, variety is the spice of life an' all that - i just don't like the hypocrisy when it comes to 'discrimination'. Some are more discriminated against than others! However, I have often seen 'Christian Bookshops' such as: God, I bet those books are boring!!

And anyway, I rather think you are conflating “Asian” with “Muslim”. When in fact Asian people come in all flavours of religion, Muslim, Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and many more. “Asian” is not a race or religion, it is a geographic region.

And... (I'm on a roll now) … surely it is identical to an Indian Restaurant, Chinese Restaurant etc. Those names do not mean that the business is intended only to serve Indians or Chinese, merely that they type of food offered is (allegedly) that to be found in India or China.

There's no such thing as an Asian funeral. Funerals the world over tend to be conducted in ways traditional to the particular religion. As Nick pointed out, there are many different important religions in Asia. Not sure if important is the right word on reflection, but you get my drift.
In India a traditional Hindu funeral involves building a fire by a river then tossing the dead person on top of it. So, if you're sat out on a lovely evening by your boat, the smell of burning pork wafting over it could be a bbq, or it could be a proper 'Asian funeral'.

If Nick thinks he can compare restaurants with funeral parlours,I would not like to go out for a meal with him...Not going to argue with him any more as we all know that he argues for a hobby.*Plus,he can never see any other person's point of view.😁
