Ethnic Composition of Brixton...

[cesare]

My guess is that he didn't understand the difference between "White British" and "White, other".

So what?

What difference does that make, the guy was still wrong?

 

[ajdown]

Do you want me to draw a diagram, seeing as you don't seem to comprehend what people put in words?

No, it doesn't matter that much.

Why do people here insist on labelling me of one particular political persuasion when I couldn't give a crap about politics or 'activism'? Aren't I allowed to be an independent thinker?

If it doesn't matter why are you still posting bile?

Your 'views' are right wing, nothing wrong with people saying that. Don't like it fuck off!

My guess is that he didn't understand the difference between "White British" and "White, other".

No, he probably just meant "white". White British, white Irish, white Australians, white Polish etc.

 

[ajdown]

Since he's not the one here being attacked, probably not a lot.

It's called right for a reason...

 

[Orang Utan]

My Dad's a white Brit who was born in New Zealand.
My Mum's a white Scot who was born in England.
My sis is a black Brit born in London, but also identifies as a Yorkshirewoman.
My younger brother is black and English.
My twin brother is a white Yorkshireman born in Leeds.
I was, of course, also born in Leeds, but do not consider myself a Yorkshireman, but a Londoner.
It's about more than just ethnicity or race.
However, most of us only identify ourselves with a particular ethnicity or race when asked to on stupid forms.

Is it? What reason's that then?

Ajdown loves to play the victim.

It validates his existence.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Is it? What reason's that then?

The term originates from the French Revolution, when liberal deputies from the Third Estate generally sat to the left of the president's chair, a habit which began in the Estates General of 1789. The nobility, members of the Second Estate, generally sat to the right. In the successive legislative assemblies, monarchists who supported the Ancien Régime were commonly referred to as rightists because they sat on the right side. It is still the tradition in the French National Assembly for the representatives to be seated left-to-right (relative to the Assembly president) according to their political alignment.

That is true. I really hate those kinda things, especially when you get the feeling that ticking 'White British' is going to negatively affect your chances in the diversity stakes.

Eh? In what way?

Not really, if you think that posting and 'scoring points' on a message forum is the sole highlight of my day, then you're very sadly mistaken. Face it, apart from a few (seemingly unpopular) viewpoints, you haven't got a clue about probably 99.999% of my existance - and you'd probably be quite surprised to find out there were some things we had in common. I doubt if it would be limited just to you too.

Would you rather it was just a circle-jerk of like minded individuals all agreeing blindly with everything that's said? Woudln't that get rather boring?

 

[Thora]

Cos they'll give the non-whites all the jobs and flats and that

I'd rather have my question answered without some baffoon spouting shite all over the thread.

 

[ajdown]

Why should it matter what colour you are anyway on these forms?

When going for a job, it should be based entirely on your skills and experience, not an unqualified minority ethnicity person getting preference over a qualified majority ethnicity person because they aren't "represented in the workforce enough"?

Yeah, there's a lot of them around isn't there.

There is no conspiracy to keep the white working brit down AJ. You have a persecution complex.

"Working" or "Working Class"?

Thats not the way it works and you know that.

If not then you are very naive.

We all know what the truth is......



TROLL!

Idiot. the reason these forms exist is because recruiters binned CVs with 'foreign' sounding names without looking at qualifications.

That would be positive discrimination and therefore illegal. Are you suggesting much of that goes on? And if so, have you got any evidence to back it up?

 

[Crispy]

Back out in the open again.

Or are you going to say that you were being 'humorous'?

Shouldn't that be hummus?

The forms you fill in are not used for 'positive discrimination' though, but for stats. I don't know how useful they are though, but they are not used to decide who to give jobs to.

 

[DotCommunist]

"Working" or "Working Class"?

class being tied directly personal capital these days means that cultural habits aside, just how much you earn defines class, not your job or upbringing.


But thats irrelevant to the subject in hand. You have, on this thread and others expressed the views that show quite clearly you feel assailed and marginalised by 'ethnic minorities'

Hummus? That's









foreign







isn't it?
