Cricket Scotland Institutionally Racist

"A report into racism in Scottish cricket has been described as “the most devastating verdict to be delivered on any sporting institution in the United Kingdom” and as “a wake-up call for all of Scottish sport” after its authors detailed 448 examples of institutional racism at Cricket Scotland and concluded that of 31 indicators of good practice the organisation failed to meet 29 and fully satisfied none."

...the insanity is not just at home... I couldn't find the actual report, if anyone runs across it please post a link... these people don't have a CLUE what racism is or how to fix it, but they're busy pushing people around anyway, aren't they!!

In short, everything is institutional racism. Got it.

“But Aamer Anwar, the lawyer who represents Majid Haq and Qasim Sheikh – the two former internationals whose descriptions of the discrimination they experienced during their playing careers prompted the report – said the apology was “too little and too late” and that the board’s resignation was “the cowardly option, meaning that today there is nobody to answer for their failure of leadership”.”

Wonder how women are treated where these two saints hail from...

[EEGator]

Well, if Scotland kicked out every non white, there wouldn’t be racism anymore...

[kearnyirish2]

The problem is that these institutions based on customers willingly forking over money to attend or watch events, or voluntarily plant their arses in front of the boob tube, are on life support when the fans walk away. Politicize my leisure activities and there is no “leisure” anymore - just insults.

No thanks.

Life is more fun as a participant than a spectator anyway.

[Jewbacca]

Been to plenty of cricket matches.

It’s unapologetically British, even if played in Israel or India.

As it should be.

“ In short, everything is institutional racism. Got it.”

Except the Democrat party, you know the party who:

Imported slaves
Kept slaves
Sent Indians on the Trail of Tears, replete with blankets
Fought a war to keep slaves
Instituted Jim Crow
Instituted peonage to have contractual slaves
Founded the KKK
Woodrow Wilson revitalized the KKK
Margaret Sanger started Planned Parenthood to kill black babies (and Irish and Jews)
FDR refused to let Jews emigrate before WWII
FDR knew what the Nazis were doing
FDR put ethnic Japanese in camps
Truman helped Arabs kill Jews in Pre-Israel
Johnson started the “Great Society” in a cynical attempt to destroy the black family
Affirmative Action

Literally the only thing truly systemically racist in the USA has been the Democrats.

First, your typical woke pod-eating Karen tells us to follow Europe, because they are enlightened about climate change, migrants, and gun confiscation, erm, gun control. We knuckle-dragging Deplorables need to be schooled by our betters on the other side of the pond, they tell us.

Thus, a story like this reveals that things aren't so bright and enlightened in Europe...and frankly, since European nations are incredibly homogenized, they ARE unwelcoming to folks who don't walk and talk like them. To wit, we have Hendrix, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Buddy Guy, Tony McAlpine, Max Roach, and so on...name me one famous black Scottish musician.

Second, cricket is an elitist sport. Only men's rugby and hockey have higher privately-educated players than cricket. Your average Joe in Europe plays soccer. Thus, if there is racism in cricket, then by extension elitists are racist.

Net-net-net, this is an indictment of European elitism. Our insect overlords, upon investigation, have a lot in common with the Klan.

That should be carved in stone, with letters that are 10 ft. tall.

I have to laugh at this. Scotland is so hopelessly left leaning and socialist and yet allegations of racism are thrown at it.

[Cronos]

It’s due to be published.

This is racism in the form of discrimination.

[ToxicMasculinity]

Y-you mean, the few people of colour who want to wear plaid kilts, blow on bagpipes and play some sissified game with a ball and a weird-shaped bat are being discriminated against? Hoot mon.

[ToxicMasculinity]

Take a knee! Hoot mon!

[Cronos]

Nope. The UK in general does not have institutional racism. That is why this is making news, because it is the exception.

Why do you think racism makes news about the USA, but not the violent racism in Russia or China?
Because racism in the USA or uk is the exception, so it stands out.

Racism in Russia, China, Sudan etc are the norm, so it doesn’t make the news unless it is as horrible as Darfur.

[Cronos]

There would be racism against Jewsas happened prior to Disraeli.

Or racism against the Irish, who were considered a lower , sub human race by the English in the 19th century

[Cronos]

racism against the Irish, who were considered a lower , sub human race by the English in the 19th century. Here are some 19th century pamphlets from both the USA and the UK

that's from the London magazine Judy, August 31, 1881

An illustration from the H. Strickland Constable's Ireland from One or Two Neglected Points of View shows an alleged similarity between "Irish Iberian" and "Negro" features in contrast to the higher "Anglo-Teutonic." The accompanying caption reads "The Iberians are believed to have been originally. Dated 1899

from puck magazine, 1890s

or the know-nothing party in the USA in the mid 1800s who considered Germans, Irish and Poles as subhuman along with the jews

[SharpRightTurn]

It would seem that Aamer Anwar, Majid Haq, and Qasim Sheikh (and others of their ilk) would be happier if they were in Krapistan than in Scotland. Why don’t they take their whining there?

[EEGator]

That’s not what my point was.
Third world trash should stay in their countries if they don’t care for the Western country.
I wouldn’t go to Thailand or Tanzania and expect them to bend to my cultural whims.
I’m tired of whites getting trashed and backing down.
If we’re so racist, why do they keep coming to “white” countries?
