Dont know and dont care...totally irrelevant to the point i was disproving.

I dont have any set political views, i dont even vote.

Never watched that tv station before



Who knows what the media is being truthful about thesedays.

You don't follow politics, don't have any political views, don't vote and don't check the source from the stuff you post, but think your opinion on political stuff is relevant? And when those of us who are interested in politics refute your nonsense you claim you're being personally attacked? You are very odd.

I think @Zatara could show the kopites on RAWK on how to play the victim card he is that good.

I was considerably more offended by Keith Lemon existing than any of his characters.

Being a pedant here, but Keith Lemon is also a character, all played by Leigh Francis

@mill acceptable forms of protest should be looked at;

Legally -- is there a case which needs to be answered which can be taken to the legal bodies in said country. Something similar to Gina Miller with Brexit.

Apply to be granted the right to hold a demonstration / protest.

Depending on the situation with those two items then we can explore other ways to protest.

For those points 1+ 2 you asked a question and I answered it...not sure why there needs to be an example of institutional racism?

If you want to see examples of political figures such as;

Japan:
Taro Aso: Former PM of Japan said "Japan is a one race nation".

Shintaro Ishibara: Former Mayor/Governor of Tokyo frequently making anti Chinese and anti-white comments.

And several others i could mention then you can see the measures they have in place to solifify their one nation, one race views.


As for my own thoughts and examples on institutional racism then thats a very long essay to write...the starting point at this moment globally would be in china and the treatment of ethnic minority groups.

Which i think covers your question broadly.

You're deliberately trying to hurt my feelings

Because while one example of racism, though awful, might be an isolated incident, whereas institutional racism is systematic and is ingrained in the culture of an institution or system.

It's not that hard to understand the distinction.

This chap explains what happened to him being arrested...the thread is near the top of his page(?) but strong language at the start so dont want to link it directly...

And as i mentioned for 2 out of 4 questions i wasnt asked that specifically.

Mill was (i think) asking for examples...aside from an essay on Japan / China as i mentioned its a shorthand broad reply

You just generally seem to be struggling with the concept

lol instead of posting personal comments why not actually do some research on the 2 people i mentioned and Chinas treatment of ethnic minorities.

Then perhaps you may understand what i consider to be institutional racism from a direct perspective.

See again your examples are both at an individual level. People of power making racist remarks isn’t an example of institutional racism. It’s an example of individual racism made by someone that is part of an institution.

I’m not sure, but from the comments you are making I think that you see racism as ‘individual racism’ rather than institutional/systemic. I may be wrong but I think you should look into what the difference is.
