True but it definitely doesn't do much to stamp it out.
In Britain, if you want to see racism, try being a white boy dating a non-white girl. If she's black, black males in general won't like it and if she's Indian, her family will almost definitely not like it.
- zo1 6y agoInteresting choice of words... White Boy, Non-White girl, black male? This is the same sort of non-sense that the Feminists were warning the world about decades ago: How stereotypes and other bad properties are built-in to the culture and language, and we should address them. We seem to have all too easily forgotten that and simply replaced them with new forms of sexism and racism.
- barking 6y agoWhat words should I have used?
- lern_too_spel 6y ago> In Britain, if you want to see racism, try being a white boy dating a non-white girl Try being a non-white boy dating a white girl. Do you think racism doesn't rear its head in that case? In any case, this is pretty blatant whataboutism. The article is about the UK, not about other countries, and racism in other countries does not make racism in the UK less bad.
- barking 6y agoSure it does but families from certain non native communities in the UK will go to extreme extents to break up such relationships.
- lern_too_spel 6y agoFamilies from certain native communities in the UK will do that, too. They just call it "nativism" instead of "racism."
- barking 6y agoWhich native communities would those be? Your comment does not sound like that of someone overly familiar with the UK. Nativist for example is not a term used in the UK.
- morsch 6y agoThat sounds like an equitable union between sexism/mysoginy and racism.
