Polarizing social media personality Andrew Tate has been subjected to numerous "racial insults" following his outspoken views on the recent UK riots. 

The violence, reportedly incited by anti-immigrant and Islamophobic groups, has sparked heated debates, with Tate being particularly vocal due to his own background as an immigrant and Muslim. 

This has led to a significant backlash against him, something he is familiar with, though he admits he is not used to receiving racist attacks from his home country.

"This is the first time in my life I'm getting serious racist insults for being brown from white people in the UK. Not a good look," Tate said. 

Despite the backlash, he maintains that dialogue and understanding are crucial, stating, "The difference between me and everyone else is that even tho I am the exact person these white mobs would attack. A brown Muslim. I believe dialogue and letting them feel heard is the answer. Conversation is key. Silencing voices only makes the problem worse."

Tate also shared his perspective on the broader issue, framing it as a class struggle rather than a racial one.

 "It's rich versus poor," he explained.

"There are people in the world who have no interest at all in the sanctity and safety of society. They're interested only in protecting their money and their profits. And they're gonna allow the streets to run with blood to do that."

He further warned that the government's response to the violence could lead to more oppressive laws. 

"Those laws will be abused. Because laws are always abused by the governments. They're gonna say it's for your safety but eventually, the laws will be abused to prevent you from ever having a point of view on anything ever again."

Andrew Tate's views have ignited significant controversy, but he remains steadfast in his belief that open dialogue is essential to addressing the issues at hand.
