Not at all. You, and several others on here, are extremely biased about the BBC and read things into their approach that "just aint so". You see the BBC as having a left leaning tilt, and not reflecting right opinion. Those on the left see it precisely the other way. Those in the middle, like me, think they do a pretty good balancing job in often difficult circumstances. They are never going to satisfy everyone. When was the last time BBC news featured the 'dinghy people' invading our South Coast??? Not biased at all? ps....Im just down the road to you Wissie, in sunny Scorrier....

You have no more idea of your heritage than anyone else, unless someone has done a very extensive check on it. It is likely to be mostly "Northern European" but not "all". You DO make a big issue of your "whiteness". The very fact you mention it at all is evidence of that. Most of us never even consider it, let alone classify ourselves by it, as you do. I am British, living in the modern UK in 2021, accompanied by other British people, and others who have chosen to live with us.
If you are going to play these stupid games and be deliberately obtuse, then It's pointless engaging with you. White people never had to worry about their colour until Mass immigration created a state in which minorities tried to increase their power by trying to make us feel guilty about the perceived sins of our forbears. You are a deluded old hypocrite.

I did specify the BBC and look at their 'diversity' employees compared to the national ethnic population. Its tilted in such a way to be obviously positively aimed at employment of non whites. Thats blatant racism but never mind!

Edited by the silurian (30 Jul 2021 10.39am) Without checking, I have no idea, but they cover these stories pretty regularly. Repetitive news is though no longer news. It becomes a subject for a different kind of analysis. Not too sunny today, is it? We got soaked last evening on a bowls green not far from you!

I think you are confusing deliberate attempts by the BBC to avoid discrimination, with discrimination itself. Never mind, we will never agree. I am far from naive. I understand exactly what you mean, but I see behind and beyond what seems obvious to some. I have many Brexit supporting friends. The majority of my bowls team voted Leave. We had a few words on it last week, in which many of the tired old thinking I hear on here all the time was trotted out. Mind you many of them read the Mail.

Repetitive is bad unless it's slagging off trump or farage; then it's popcorn time, in more ways than one for some

BBC policy on hiring is to hire based on race for certain positions, which is wrong IMO Originally posted by cryrst
"IF" the BBC. Omg wissy are you really that naive? Edited by HKOwen (30 Jul 2021 1.54pm)
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

You can finish your game while the armadas of illegal immigrants arrive.

White people never had to worry about their colour until Mass immigration created a state in which minorities tried to increase their power by trying to make us feel guilty about the perceived sins of our forbears. You are a deluded old hypocrite. Unless you know the history of every ancestor of yours, and the history of every relative of theirs for the last 2000 years, that is simply an impossible claim to make. It quite quickly includes everyone who has ever lived during that time. You do realise that it has been calculated that within 6 connections we all know everyone in the world? Apply the same logic to your family history, and you will understand why. Nothing at all obtuse involved. It's just factual. "White" people have never, and still don't, have any reason to worry about their colour. You won't change, and you have no right to decide how your successors will feel. No-one encourages anyone to feel guilty about their forbears. What a ridiculous idea. They lived at a different time, when other standards and expectations applied and need to be judged by them, and not by ours. All that is expected is that we learn and improve. Some of us can and do. Others don't, and it's them who feel the guilt. I live in Cornwall, where we have a much more diverse population than you might realise from the bare figures, which are out of date anyway. We also see a huge influx of visitors throughout the year, peaking now, who arrive from all over the UK and the world. Not that it matters. The Cornish are very used to hosting visitors and are genuinely friendly people. You don't witness any racial tensions here. I might have retired here, but I have lived elsewhere in the UK, and in other parts of the world, so am perfectly able to form an opinion. Deluded? Not a jot. Old? Regrettably a little, but still lively and fighting. Hypocrisy? You beat me hands down on that. It's the only attribute on which I concede defeat.

Making sure their failings never go under the radar, so we never entertain them again, is a duty. Mistakes like that must not be repeated.
