"My decision to come back to Britain was prompted by banal, personal factors that have nothing to do with current events; if my aim was to escape aggressive policing and racial disadvantage, I would not be heading to Hackney."
Not sure what we're talking about here then. The whole article sounds like a post factum rationalization. Lots of feelings with not so many arguments.
- Retra 11y agoYou want arguments against racism?
- tosseraccount 11y agoIf the racism is so bad, why are so many people trying to immigrate to America, Canada, New Zealand , Australia and Northern Europe?
- istvan__ 11y agoRacism is hijacked nowadays in the USA, it almost exclusively means white racism against blacks. The original meaning (discriminating against any "race" by any other "race") is greatly lost. If you want proof just go to twitter and look up some of the recent threads about Rachel Dolezal case.
- ashwinaj 11y agoHe's talking about racism specific to black people in the US.

- mnglkhn2 11y agowhy does he make his decision to return to UK to be related to racism when he himself admits that it was a purely personal motive?! To me this is incoherent and manipulative race baiting in order to puff up his article for clicks. The fact that this simple argument is discarded by you in order to maintain your agenda, shows more about how tolerable and inclusive you are not than about how racist I am.
