Official: Brits are NOT racist… and the woke are outraged because it ruins the narrative round which they’ve constructed a whole trade

A brand new report that claims the UK “must be thought to be a mannequin for different white-majority international locations” as a consequence of its lack of structural racism is price celebrating. However those that become profitable off the ‘racist’ fantasy are predictably sad.

Pay attention? Are you able to hear that noise? It’s the sound of tens of 1000’s of fingers whacking and clacking away at 1000’s of keyboards in livid glee. 

There’s one thing to assault, you see: the British, they’re not particularly racist. How can that be? No, no, no! Racism is a MASSIVE drawback! How dare they?

A brand-new Authorities report says it discovered no specific structural racism within the UK, and Downing Road claims we Brits are, the truth is, exemplars of equality and variety. The UK “must be thought to be a mannequin for different white-majority international locations,” says the Fee on Race and Ethnic Disparities.

That’s one thing to be pleased with, no?

Nope. Quite the opposite. It’s a serious blow to the photo voltaic plexus for many columnists and writers and editors, particularly on the Guardian and the BBC, and in addition to 1000’s of college and faculty lecturers and individuals who run coaching programs and suppose tanks to show us all the way to be extra woke. 

The Runnymede Belief, a race-equality suppose tank, has already had a pop at it, with its chief govt Dr Halima Begum saying it was “deeply, deeply worrying” and that she feels “massively let down”. Extra quotes and extra outrage, you will be damned positive, are sure to comply with.

This report? It’s a whitewash. It simply have to be. A whitewash with a black man named Dr Tony Sewell holding the comb.

Sewell is the boss of the Fee on Race and Ethnic Disparities and he’s, true sufficient, near Boris Johnson, having labored for the prime minister when Johnson was mayor of London. But – however – he is aware of his stuff, and has been round a very long time as an schooling marketing consultant, significantly with regard to BAME children. He can’t be dismissed simply because he’s BoJo’s chum.

The report was commissioned following the Black Lives Issues motion that swelled up and broke out into protests everywhere in the world final summer time. Derek Chauvin, the policeman who was filmed kneeling on George Floyd’s neck till he died, is presently on trial for second-degree homicide… in Minneapolis. That’s within the USA, of us. It’s not within the UK.

American legal guidelines and American policing practices and American racial dynamics – good or unhealthy – merely don’t apply in Britain. But Floyd’s loss of life led to protests and the toppling of statues on the opposite facet of the Atlantic.

The entire thing, you see, is an trade. There’s a great deal of cash to be made on this sport. Loads of folks pay their hire or their mortgages, and for his or her soy lattes and hemp footwear, off the again of all of it.

They’ve even had £295 out of my pocket. That’s how a lot my unconscious bias coaching course price. And but this new report additionally says that unconscious bias coaching is all, effectively, an enormous fats waste of money and time. 

Yup. It’s. Don’t hassle.

I did a course a few weeks in the past and it was, to my thoughts, 5 hours of stating the bloody apparent. Though I did obtain a pleasant certificates from Equality and Range UK that I can body and placed on my wall as proof, perhaps, of some form of a ‘treatment’.

I mainly learnt that I’m biased. Each human being on planet Earth, the truth is, is biased, to at least one diploma or one other. Right here’s the factor, although. A black man will be biased in opposition to one other black man. A lesbian will be biased in opposition to one other lesbian. A transgender girl… effectively, she/he may actually despise one other transgender girl. 

There’s no treatment for all times, there isn’t any resolution to the human situation.

They need to by no means have issued me with my certificates, although, as a result of I’m pretty snug with loads of my biases. There are some folks I merely don’t like. And none of these folks, I have to add, are black or homosexual or transgender. They’re all heterosexual white males, with a few straight white girls chucked into the combo.

Anyway, this new authorities report says, “The well-meaning idealism of many younger individuals who declare the nation remains to be institutionally racist is just not borne out by the proof.”

Precisely!

All this begins, I actually do consider, in pseudo-academic programs in Britain’s faculties and universities. Social research. Media research. Communication research. Gender research. The titles of those programs change with the occasions. However they’re all just about the identical factor.

Approach again in, say, the 1960s or 1970s, younger adults would attend college and get a level in maths or economics, physics or chemistry, politics, languages, no matter. Not anymore. Now children can spend three years of their lives merely, effectively, navel-gazing. 

There was as soon as, I child you not, a course module referred to as David Beckham Research at Staffordshire College, when the previous England captain was on the prime of his sport. Even Durham College, seen by many as being the third-‘greatest’ college in Britain after Oxford and Cambridge, provided a module on Harry Potter ‘to look at prejudice, citizenship and bullying in trendy society’.

Proper-o then.

I don’t know anybody – not a single soul – who’s overtly racist or homophobic. I do, nonetheless, know loads of individuals who could make dumb jokes about, effectively, just about anybody. Particularly in the event that they really feel relaxed amongst mates they usually’ve had a beer or two. Fats, skinny, tall, quick, northern, southern. Anybody and something. 

That, to me, is the very definition of inclusion. No matter it’s that excludes you, should you can take the mickey out of it and provides pretty much as good as you get, then you have got stepped contained in the circle.

So, Britain isn’t particularly racist. Bugger! That’s a chisel hammered into the muse upon which many woke people stand. What the hell else are they gonna get on their excessive horse about? Oh effectively, they’ve nonetheless bought Brexit. The exact same persons are nonetheless ready for Britain to fail, to fall face-first into the worldwide mud, away from the EU’s shores. Eventually, you’ll hear their keyboards clattering.
