Why?

[ScottBen]

Why is it that non white British citizens are treated with kid gloves, given preferential treatment and have everyone around them walking on eggshells?
Is it because the politically correct liberal madness prevalent throughout government still defines them as a victimised oppressed minority that's under the thumb of the right wing bigoted white fascist?
It's ridiculous. It would be funny if there wasn't an element of truth in it.
I refer of course to sp1814's racist thread in news. It's only racist and bigoted if you're white or British.

can i just point out from a non white british citizen point of view that i'm not

"treated with kid gloves, given preferential treatment and have everyone around them walking on eggshells? "

Naomi, yes, as jomifl said. On second thought my contribution earlier was not meant to be derogatory but it does read as such. Sorry. This is the price of I have to pay for getting on in life, not thinking my reply out properly... especially when someone writes such frustrating tripe. As a punishment I shall only have two chocolate bars tonight, instead of three:-)

Wildwood. Thanks. Hope you enjoyed the chocolate. :o)

one example of the op: the couple on bbc news yesterday wanting to adopt children but turned down because they are white. why does anyone 'need' a quota for anything? that is positive discrimination in my book and is rife in a lot of aspects of public service these days. when i worked for the local council, there were lots of really good jobs (with uni training and guaranteed posts after) which were only offered to ethnic minorities. i'd have chopped limbs off for some of them, but i wasn't allowed to apply.

To be honest, there are some racist people in this country.I have mighty respect for black people, and i think its wrong.

Elderman

a) you know very well that this site disapproves of members hijacking threads for their own ends and changing the topic completely - this is about politics and culture, not religion.
b) I'm tempted to say "get a life" - I can't be the only person (with my own or without my own religious convictions) who is fed up to the back teeth with your constant preaching.

[venator]

I think we should report Elderman whenever he posts this sort of stuff, completely irrelevant to the original topic

I think it's bizarre scottBen was suspended for stating the obvious. Racism and Bigotry only exists in this Liberal democrat career politician ruined nation if you're not white.
