Britain is not Racist

Time Text
So the UK government decided to publish a race disparity audit because apparently auditing races is something we do in modern Britain.
And the apparent result of this is a video by the BBC featuring a model who was fired by L'Oreal for racism.
So what we're about to watch is a video by a racist about how everyone else is a racist.
And I said it was by the BBC for a reason, because the BBC actively discriminates against job applications based on race.
And this is being paid for by the majority white BBC license paying public of the UK.
And it's mandatory.
What kind of country is modern Britain?
No doubt it's a country that likes to think of itself as inclusive, but that depends where you're standing.
Well, it seems rather inclusive if you're standing at the BBC, but Britain is a country that is deeply afraid of racism, and you, like the psychopathic narcissist that you clearly are, are taking advantage of that.
Do you understand that you, racism-baiting like this, is helping to give cover to child molesters?
That's what you're doing.
That's what Sarah Champion is arguing against when it comes to things like the Newcastle sex ring.
It is understating the problem if I say that thousands of young British girls in vulnerable situations have been raped because of the fear that the police hold of being called racist.
That's how deeply this pervades British society.
Me as a transgender mixed race person, we live in a deeply racist society.
No, we don't.
We live in a deeply anti-racist society, where people go to jail over tweets.
See, for example, the YouTuber Goodfella, who was recently arrested for a tweet.
I'll leave a link in the description for you to check that out.
We live in a society that is mortally afraid of racism.
The government's race audit for England identified discrimination against people of colour in many of our institutions, ranging from the police to the justice system to schools.
No, it didn't.
As it said at the very beginning of the audit, this is not an explanation, this is a data dump.
All it did is show you the relative amounts, and it wasn't all one-sided.
Does this surprise you?
It's old news to me and almost a bad joke to identify it now.
Imagine being thus entitled.
The government's doing exactly what she wants them to do, and yet it's still not good enough.
It's something that we've known for years, but the political will has not been there to deal with it, and I'm not sure it is now.
Oh no, it's certainly there now.
The political will to discriminate against white people on the basis of their race, and men on the basis of their sex, has always been there.
It's completely possible that something will come of this that will be actively discriminatory against white people.
You'll probably get your wish, because that is how bizarrely anti-racist Britain is.
Why should we expect anything else from a country that's built its success on the enslavement of non-white people?
It's that continuous cycle of racism that explains where we are now.
You mean from the country that ended slavery?
That's a very interesting interpretation.
Why would we do that?
Why would Britain go on a hundred year worldwide crusade against the idea and practice of slavery if it was just all built on slaves?
Why would it end it?
I'll leave a link to a video in the description that you can watch that will explain Britain's role in the slave trade and Britain's role in ending the slave trade.
And you're welcome.
Why does the UK acknowledge the sacrifice of people killed in wars but not the spilled blood of black people?
We do.
Black people also died in wars.
I swear to God, one day I'm going to count the numbers because I'm absolutely certain that the Mongols will hold the world record for most people slaughtered in pursuit of conquest, literally by numbers and by percentage of population.
If the UK took our oppression seriously, then people like me who call out racism would be listened to rather than ridiculed or threatened with death.
I love that threatened with death.
Like Theresa May has done this, not some random internet troll.
But anyway, you are a racist.
You are what we, the British public, define to be a racist.
You don't have an accurate view of history.
You don't seem to understand how anything is as it is.
And you haven't read this report.
If white people want to see an improvement for people of colour, they need to understand that racism is not learned.
It's inherited and either consciously or unconsciously passed down through privilege.
Let's assume that's true.
That means white people are inherently racist, which means you should probably leave a country that is majority white because you're surrounded by a bunch of racists and trying to appeal to them to not be racist is probably not going to work.
They're all racist.
You've defined them as such.
Your only recourse now is to leave.
But if they weren't racists and this was an appeal that would actually work on someone who didn't want to be a racist, well, then you could manipulate them in any which way you choose.
The uncomfortable truth is that the white race is the most violent and oppressive force of nature on earth.
That's really racist, but it doesn't even make sense.
White people aren't a force of nature.
They are people.
They are rational.
They make decisions.
They're not just dogs.
I mean, we would never describe black people committing crimes in America as a force of nature, because that is to remove any responsibility for their own actions.
And it's ludicrous that you would sit there and go, well, white people are the most destructive force of nature.
White people are the most liberating force of nature, if that's the case.
Are you actually serious?
I mean, like, do you know what annoys me the most about all of this, like, anti-colonialist hysteria, right?
The thing that annoys me the most is that the world was a fucking shithole before the colonial era.
It wasn't good in Europe either.
It was shit in Europe.
It was oppressive, it was backwards, it was poor, it was hungry.
Literally applies to everywhere.
Everywhere was being exploited by a ruling elite.
There were wars, there were famines, there were crusades, jihads.
Literally, the world was fucking terrible.
And these idiots would have you believe that the world was just beautiful.
It was like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden until the white man turned up.
No, get fucked.
I have absolutely no respect for this position.
My worry is that whatever governments do to tinker with institutional racism, it is so ingrained in the fabric of British society that it is too late to do anything about it.
Okay, and now I'm actually going to just completely demolish her argument using the study that she is citing.
The highest earning people in the country are brown.
The lowest earning people in the country are also brown.
The white people are not even second in the country when it comes to earnings.
The white people are third.
This is not a racist country.
Most of the homeless people in this country are white.
Why would that happen in a racist country?
This is not a racist country.
I mean, honestly, what is your contention here?
That racism has made black African children fatter than Indian children.
How?
By what mechanism does it make black African children fat and Indian children thin?
Why is it even at the earliest years Indian children have an advanced stage of development in British society?
Why wouldn't English children have that?
Why are black African kids doing better than Chinese kids?
And Bangladeshi and Pakistani?
It doesn't make any sense to say that this is racism.
Why is it that there are more Asians than black people in persistent poverty in the UK?
If it's racism?
It gets even more eye-opening when you look at the attainment 8 scores by free school meal eligibility.
These are the people who are poor versus the people who are not poor.
The Bangladeshi and Indian scores are very similar and not too far off from the Pakistani scores.
Compare that to the white British scores all the way down here.
Specifically the poor white British score, which is unbelievably low.
These poor white British people are falling behind in education.
They are literally almost as bad as the gypsies and the gypsies ostracize themselves from society and get married at 13.
There is indeed institutional racism in Britain, but it is not in favour of the white British.
And it really highlights some interesting things here as well.
The number of inactive people in Bangladeshi communities is 39%.
They are mostly female.
They are also the people with the poorest proficiency in English in England, as in they don't speak it very much.
And I suspect that the reason that these households are in such dire poverty is because only one parent is working and bringing in an income.
Note that single-parent families are also a problem in the black communities in Britain as well, but they tend to have less children.
White British people are not the people doing best in Britain.
They are just the most numerous type of people in Britain.
Non-white people are actually doing better than white people in Britain, in certain categories, and it is because of life choices that they make.
