"A survey for the Guardian of 1,000 people from minority ethnic backgrounds found they were consistently more likely to have faced negative everyday experiences – all frequently associated with racism – than white people in a comparison poll.

The survey found that 43% of those from a minority ethnic background had been overlooked for a work promotion in a way that felt unfair in the last five years – more than twice the proportion of white people (18%) who reported the same experience."


So basically the study finds that those from BAME background felt more aggrieved that they didnt get a promotion compared to white counterparts who didnt get a promotion.

I dont know how that shows racism - maybe as I pointed out earlier if you are constantly told since you were young that you will be prejudiced against because you are BAME makes these people feel everytime something doesn't go there way that its down to it being about race, whereas their white counterpart may just shrug their shoulders and put it down to bad luck or someone else done better on the day.

Im not saying racism doesnt go on but thats just evidence based on how someone feels not actual proof that those BAME were overlooked for promotion because they were not white.

In regards to Sol Campbell - he's claimed the reason why he hasnt gotten managers jobs in the past is because he's black but how does he know thats the reason? Especially when the likes of Hughton, Moore, Henry, Ince etc. Havent had an issue with this.


Quick look at the England World Cup 1998 Squad and later managerial careers

Alan Shearer - Newcastle
Gareth Southgate - Middlesborough
Tony Adams - Wycombe (quit, got a job 3 divisions higher)
Gary Neville - Valencia
Sol Campbell - Macclesfield
Paul Ince - Macclesfield

All crap managers.

How Southgate got the England gig is a mystery.
 
I talked the other day lack of representation at leadership levels in education, politics, law, business, and sport.

lots of different fields that are over represented by white men (who represent roughly 42% of the population in the U.K.).

What is your reason for it? That it’s so consistent across discipline and it’s always in favour of white males.

I’m interested to know why you think it is. What’s your reasoning?

85% of Primary school teachers are women......is that over representation.....
 
People on here were calling for water canons? I don't recall seeing that and I'd have called him out for an idiot if I had.

As regards the latter I still want to see them distancing themselves from the vandalism. How else do we know that they don't condone it unless they say so. All it takes is one person to speak out on behalf of the movement.
Perhaps because they called for peaceful protests?

How can one person speak out on behalf of the movement when it's a banner by which many people fall under?

They can't.
 
You asked me what my view was on the motives of those in that video trying to retrieve a statue from the briny, what’s that got to do with you being racist or not? You seem to have made a somewhat strange correlation there lad. Maybe your ‘first instinct’ has lead you up the garden path here.
No I didn’t, I asked you why you seemed to insinuate that I’d come up with something that completely ran contrary to what you implied my true ‘first instinct’ was.

On seeing it I thought it was a bunch of lads trying to salvage it for scrap because it’s the harebrained thing that some in society do. Sorry it wasn’t ‘OMFG clearly a bunch of racists trying to save a statue that no-one outside of an esoteric group had really thought relevant until Sunday’.

Even if they went in to save the statue, why does this mean they are racists? I
Why? What difference does it make to you really?

Not that anyone is dictating anything...

Because where does it stop?
