Racist Britain

[jedi_toaster]

I am white.

Those statements are based on emotions - with no fact or context behind them.

Where I'm sure terrible things happen every day, sadly, this survey is not a reflection of them.

See my point about white jews, above.

I’m a member of the Labour Party so I don’t care about the Jews.

It's not.

Needs loads more context to make this anywhere near debatable.

Nice try though. Welcome back.

Ah, not even half way

 

[Aituk7]

Seriously though, is it really that uncommon to have experienced these things?

I'm shocked this isn't higher for everyone

Half way down page one of this thread, people will have convinced themselves it isn't

Some of us were quicker

Dafties need to stop that for "no good reason" stuff and they wadnt get into so much bother

What’s wrong with being mistaken for an employee?

 

[Some Random Guy]

55% mistaken for an employee rather than a customer in shops

Happened to me twice.

Acted rude and abrasive both times then gave incorrect advice, saying "I don't work here" is for fannies.

It's a survey based on emotion, not fact.
How do you know I'm white?
How do you know I've never been a minority?

I don't think being a cunt actually counts these day mate

They all need context, some of the 'good reason', 'unfair' things are so wishy washy.

It's bad enough having one job.

 

[Cockney Mackem]

I don't think being a cunt actually counts these day mate

Certainly not as a minority

Happened to me in both Aldi and Home Bargains. Never happens somewhere posh like Tesco.
Wounded.

Exactly mate. Show no weakness.

I've had it a few times but the most demeaning was spoons, taking glasses off our table and some guy just goes can you grab these and wipe the table down while your on

Surprised the %age of people who felt they'd been unfairly overlooked for promotion isn't a lot closer to 100, whatever their ethnicity.

I'm surprised all of them aren't.

Every one of them has happened to me at least once

55% had been treated differently due to their hair or clothes (29% of white people)

You mean people stopped?

Ya Ginger bastard.

At least it wasn't a f***ing Daily Mail link like he usually posts.

The Guardian has become the lefty version of the Daily Mail. I can remember when news outlets reported the news, not the news they want you to know.

 

[vinegar hill]

More shite.

There’s no point in them reporting the news anymore, due to the internet they’re always at least 24 hours late with it. They have simply become opinion pieces or tools to spread the doctrine of their owners.

They're both like satire sites, the Mail was miles ahead in the brilliance stakes but has gone far too soft over the past few weeks.

 

[DisillusionedOldGit]

What was the Guardian's sample ? Is it shown ?

Can't see them being very objective and I certainly don't believe a lot those figures.

An article intended to sensationalise.

I've experienced all of those things but I haven't whinged on about it .And the grauniad doesn'tc give a fuck .
