Britain is not institutionally racist, claims landmark report

The government’s highly anticipated race report commissioned in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests has rejected suggestions that Britain is still an institutionally racist country.

The 264-page report concludes that the UK has become a “more open society” where children from many ethnic communities perform as well or substantially better than white pupils in compulsory education.

The independent review – which is published on Wednesday – argues that issues around race and racism are “becoming less important” and, in some cases, are not a significant factor behind explaining disparities.

As a black British woman, I have to say that the scrapping of BAME term would honestly make my day

Oh dear, alot of people actually gonna have to look within themselves for a change now rather than trying to pass their own downfalls onto something external

⚠️Sure it's not. I'm an East African who studied in the UK. I know every well the British society. There are no laws discriminating what's so ever. And one shouldn't expect special treatment because that will be against equality. The class of fictional grievance-peddlers will squeal. They make big cash and get the attention of the naive press by babbling nonsense about colonialism (which actually had many good aspects), race and old history. Just ignore then and deprive them of any attention. They are a waste of time and oxygen.

The Left wing on Brexit - "We must listen to the experts"
The Left wing on Lockdown - "We must listen to the experts"
The Left wing on Racism in Britain - "We mustn't listen to the experts"

A good no. of half witted, entitled so and so's like to see any issues as being one dimensional.

Maybe not institutional but still very racist. In school I feel I can’t talk about race just because I’m white.

No need to blame the report authors. They are suffering, like a lot us, from Political Stockholm Syndrome at the hands of Boris.

Move out if you don't like this county.

"we're not racist, honest" said the racists

Just casually browsing the comments - based on the views expressed in some of them I would think that report could be thrown in the bin.
