The UK "no longer" has a system rigged against people from ethnic minorities, a review set up by No 10 says.

The Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities said family structure and social class had a bigger impact than race on how people's lives turned out.

It said children from ethnic communities did as well or better than white pupils, but overt racism remained, particularly online.

The Runnymede Trust think tank said it felt "let down" by the report.

The commission was set up after Black Lives Matter anti-racism protests across the country last summer - triggered by the killing of George Floyd in the US.

Well I’m sure that will settle it.
If 10 Downing Street says so.

When they started letting in the people from the colonies after WWII because of manpower shortages.

Enoch Powell tried to warn them.

Voting, like all human endeavors is rigged agaoinst one particular group. This group knows no racial or sexual preference boundaries.

The group carry at least one, and usually both of the following two attributes

Stupid
Lazy

And such folks should NOT be voting, but they are too stupid to understand that. That’s why Pat Buchanan got so many votes in Florida in 2000. :)

Limeys are better at being “Subjects” than legacy Americans.

“The Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities said family structure and social class had a bigger impact than race on how people’s lives turned out.”

And it’s pure coincidence that different groups tend to have different family structures ... Regardless of what continent they are on or what language they speak or their religion.

The issue is stereotype threat, the media has created a condition of “fact” and once you’re aware of a negative fact you may experience it. I use the example of a study done on girls who had heard the statement “girls are not good at math,” vs Girls who had never heard this statement. Those ignorant of the statement did much better on their math exams than girls who had heard this stereotype. Part of the experiment then told girls who had not heard the stereotype, and retested.

We’re more woke than Britain? Very depressing.
