We have people of colour at the top of almost every profession in the UK from media, sport, politics and business, its not a perfect world but there is little or no impediment to anyone wanting to achieve in the UK, so where is this hotbed of racism you see around you that makes you so embarrassed? Did you witness open racism at the game? Where also is your evidence the Police today discriminate due to colour, have you been personally affected or researched online?
My wife (who is not white) and I have a pet name, we call each other monkey, as in cheeky monkey. You might call your partner love, darling, sexy arse, pumpkinywumkinny, whatever that's entirely up to you. The last time we were in a pub together in Northampton about six years ago enjoying ourselves with friends, when it was time to go, I said to my wife, "Come on monkey, we must go now" From behind me a guy I had never met, knew nothing about me, my life or my wife grabbed my shoulder and told me, "You cant speak to her like that" The do gooder anti racist who jumped to my wife's defence perceiving there to be racism around when actually there was none.
I live in a country that often charges white people double, a two tier system for foreigners, the UK is certainly not without its problems but in society at large there is very little discrimination. Online is different and I disagree with you again, nearly all hate filled speech today comes through online platforms and it can be solved.
Having the ability to write totally anonymous posts and messages online and hide through a VPN must be stopped. You can be anonymous to others but if you want to comment, as with newspapers before you must supply your address or verified ID. I everyone who posted comments, reviews and bulls*** online could be traced and prosecuted if necessary.
Get off your knee and watch the football. Thank goodness we're not practicing the charade here.
I can relate to that. Suffered racism aimed at the wife and kids and myself in many different countries. Bigots are bigots irrespective of their nationality, skin colour or religous outlook and unfortunately nothing is ever going to change that.
