Can we be clear what this is supposed to mean NOF? Are you saying equal opportunities legislation and anti-discrimination legislation should not be applied equally and should discriminate in favour of some races? Is it an exercise in redressing history?
That isn't what the law, at least, says. It isn't, on paper at any rate, what the FA's own legislation states, but nonetheless you may be right in that it is the way the FA itself, and various single-race pressure groups interpret it. But if it covertly is an exercise in redressing historic injustices could i state my claim now that as a quarter Chinese I am associated with a race that has been persecuted longer than African negroes. As part Saxon I must surely have a claim against Scandinavians for their Viking attrocities and persecution that lasted over two hundred years during the Middle-Ages. And don't go there about how my celtic forebears were persecuted by Romans and Saxons.
So what do i get? Nothing? Is it because I isn't black? How racist is THAT!?
