Am I a "liberal"?

[Tiberius]

We are multicultural. We are not all white. Your statistics do not prove your point.

I'm afraid they do. Of the non-white people (9%), this includes many who are culturally British (i.e. have had families in the country for hundreds of years). It includes mixed race people who are culturally British as well. Multiculturalism is not just about skin colour, it is about culture (clue is in the title really). Most of my black friends I would call culturally British. My statistics show that we are not only a predominantly white society, but that we are a predominantly "British" society. We are on our way towards multiculturalism by allowing immigrants to live in our country, but we are not there yet.

You agree that the 1 in 33 is not 1 in 10.
The police have been taken to tribunals by women who suffered the chauvinist culture. Non-whites too have appeared.
The infamous tv documentary shown a couple of years ago showed racism at its worst exhibited by new recruits at a police training course....and the trainer was less than enthusiastic to stamp on it.

Could you link me to the reports / documentary? I'd love to read/watch them.

Do you ever escape the bubble you live in?

Coming from a socialist, I find this hilarious. You people never leave your little imaginary world. You evidently never leave your bubble if you think that 9% non-white constitutes a "multicultural" society.

Your opinion of me? I could care less. The more you post on this, the more I suspect you may be in denial, like so many others are, of your racism.

I was just thinking the same thing. Your words are full of anti-equality propaganda; you think that differences in race should be something that needs highlighting rather than something that shouldn't even cross someone's mind. You'd prefer to have a shoddy police force full of unqualified people just because they check the demographic boxes, rather than have people who can actually do the job. Take a tip from me; before you make such ridiculous statements in future, try putting yourself in the position of those you are discriminating against. How would you feel if you were turned down for a job in favour of a less qualified ethnic minority worker. If you had any sensibilities, you'd be rightly pissed off.

The ex-football manager Ron Atkinson, who was caught using racist language about black footballers was given a chance to atone by being allowed to feature in a programme to show he wasn't racist. THE PROGRAMME SHOWED HE WAS, but he didn't see that he was. Many many people are like Ron Atkinson on this issue.

I fail to see what mentioning this has to do with anything. I'm not in denial, I don't hate black people, I'm not racist, I'm pro-equality. When I see a black man, a white man, and a Chinese man, I see three men.
