| peakyblinder old hand Rank: Chinny | non-white Brums posted on: 6/11/2003 10:34:19 AM We're always hearing about how multiucultural Brummagem is, well the wall of fame is looking decidedly whitewashed at the moment. Let's get some Brummie Asians up there, like Asian Dub Foundation and Meera Syal, or some Black Brummies, like Rankin' Roger, Adrian Lester and Steel Pulse. I can't think of any famous Chinese Brummies. |

replied on: 7/23/2003 9:49:02 AM Chok there! I have been informed he was from the mighty borough of Handsworth, and there are suggestions he attended Handsworth Grammar School, but I think this might be wishful thinking from certain ex-boys. Ooh the reflected glory of attending the same school as Brum's greatest rapper. Arranged marriage- Bo! |

replied on: 7/23/2003 9:50:51 AM And another thing, can you name any famous white Brummies. I mean actually the colour of freshly fallen snow. I think not, therefore this whole discussion is building up boundaries where we don't need 'em! |

replied on: 7/26/2003 2:58:42 PM The singer from Bentley Rhythm Ace is a non-white.And from Birmingham. I think that qualifies him. Their initials spell BRA as well. I like bras. Couldn't eat a whole one, though. |

replied on: 7/27/2003 1:32:27 PM I didn't know the BRA singer was a mulatto. I honestly thought he was just a bit grubby. |
