    Corner shops,taxis,market traders,post offices, etc all businesses that a vast majority are now Asian owned compared to years ago...... entrepreneurs yes maybe, white British moving to other types of businesses again yes possible, but if we where as racist as some would say wouldn't these businesses have been starved of custom, nay even trashed or burned in white riot's.....over the top scenario of course, that's why this country isn't as racist as some want to make out

    If you were any type of friend of mine you'd know that the particular avenue you're pursuing on this subject is completely false.

    For those who live in the real world, and not seeing through some activist's eyes, it's obvious that this is probably the least racist country in the world. There is no institutional racism in this country, in fact, we're bending over backwards to be inclusive of anyone's race, gender or sexual preference.
    You can advertise a job only for one race not another and that race cannot be white. That says it all

    There’s plenty of articles about it, even a wiki page. The original exclusive was in the Observer I believe, not that you’re actually interested in reading about it and the views of those who have criticised that report and their reasons for doing so.

    It's not an avenue. This whole conversation started by me asking a question, that was all.
    I'm not racist. I don't need to give examples why not and neither do you but do or did you think I was from reading my posts?
    If you read them again you won't find any racism, I'm anti virtue signalling because they are the contentious ones

    The report is an opinion just as the comments about it are.
    Why are you so nasty and ****ing dismissive of me? Maybe that's why lots of people have a problem with you.
    It's not difficult to be civil.

    So the proof that institutional racism doesn’t exist here is provided by the fact that you can’t advertise a job ‘for whites only’?

    You don’t seem to understand that this issue is complex, multi faceted and nuanced. Let me give you an example that has relevance to yours. I once worked with a large company who got pulled up for racial discrimination in their recruitment process. An Asian fella sent in his CV and covering letter to apply for a listed job, he also sent an exact duplicate of his CV and covering letter only under a different name. He got a ‘no thanks Mr Patel’ rejection letter for his own application yet an invite for interview for his Mr Smith application. Does that make that company inherently racist? Or was it just the conscious or even sub conscious bias of the manager reviewing the applications? Either way, he obvs felt he’d been the victim of racism, as he had.

    How have my posts here tonight been nasty in any way? I have been perfectly civil and my posts free of any insults towards you, You have also been civil, but have labelled me as a virtue signaller which was meant as a derogatory term.

    The person selecting the candidates had a bias. Let me take this one step further. We have a group at my club and in turn they pick a venue to go out for beers and a meal after. One of the guys is a Muslim. He wouldn't pick a pub if he had a free choice and if it had to be a pub he wouldn't go.
    Is that discrimination?
    In your example, if there was a small work group of white men the person selecting the CVs might make a decision, rightly or wrongly, that Mr Patel might not fit in, just as, maybe, Mrs Smith might not.
    I don't know but it's easy to swing the racism stick

    This is dismissive and, in my opinion, nasty. I did read the link you posted and didn't find anything like what you said.

    Apparently it's rude if you don't bid posters goodbye before leaving the debate.

    So, goodnight and sleep well.

    Your last paragraph there is just an example of blatant racism. Mr Patel might not ‘fit in’ to a group of white fellas is a decision based on nothing but his race, and it’s probably exactly why there was a group of just white fellas to start with, so it’s obvs inherent, likely part of the culture in that company, and thus highly likely an example of institutional racism.

    The truth hurts, I selected the ranking in a fully scientific way, identified from the normal distribution of results the median ranking and this was it. We'll beat you at cricket too.

    I'm sorry but I do think you are a virtue signaller in the way I understand it. I understand it's not what you want to be but, unfortunately, you are.
    Lead the fight against racism in the real world not on a football forum. You know you'll never change anyone's mind on here so you're just patting yourself onnthe back for being such a good person.
