Oh swan **** off , there is no "white man struggles " ffs, are you bored or something?

Correct i don't shake a mans had and think 'oh you're a gay male', they're just male to me.

Depends, if a non-white is in charge of hiring they might have a bias towards hiring their same race, for example.
And I'm not straight :devil::cheer:

They don't. That probably comes up when they're presented with whataboutery, which I explained in a previous post.

Because it's not just about bullies in a playground or name-calling. It's about those bullies in a playground mis-educating the next generations, growing up to become the leaders and employers in our society. No offence, but that doesn't really need explaining. That's why it needs to be addressed.

True. But they're not saying ALL straight men aren't sympathetic but that straight men are the problem because they are. It's not gay people discriminating other gay people, it's the straight people who see straight as the "normal" default position. That's what's being addressed. I feel people need to not feel personally admonished when a societal problem is discussed in those terms.

It's a bit like talking about the ills of the British Empire and taking offence as though you are being admonished for it because you are British.

You are straight and you are not homophobic, great, so you aren't the problem. :thumbs:

You didn't answer the question(s).

You're my favourite forum child, I hope you know

why do you keep saying homosexuals then

They shouldn't have to no, but in order to go forward they need to leave those people behind.

What?

You have a problem that there isn't more English people in India?

Read the thread back

This is absolutely disgusting. I've reported this and I hope James is online and deals with this level of bias accordingly.

A Mod? A ****ing mod, you ****ing wish!

Now get on that bloody wine! It’s Xmas!

Except, those people don't vanish into thin air do they? They still work their way through society and affect things? Just look at the news.

You heard her!!!

you lit didn't answer the question. do you think that there isn't at least one boss that doesn't hire based on prejudice

It was a light hearted joke :)

If you have any knowledge of Indian call centres, you'll know that the employers usually give the workers a script, and more english sounding names, which is funny, and ridiculous at the same time.

Apologies for having a sense of humour

I never chastised you for it, it's hard to understand tone with written words.

But, I would say what you've highlighted is a form of racism as people immediately get their backs up when presented with a foreign accent on the phone so the fact they have to "white" themselves up in order to try and avoid any hassle or abuse is ridiculous, as you say.

I asked her :)

Yes absolutely. No one race is excluded from this.

Oh yes they will, but they will give a different reason.
Your reasoning is beyond naive.
:facepalm:

Yes big companies are holding back progression by assuming certain customers what a more 'english' person to speak to. Which is sometimes true i guess.

And I told ya luv

That's nice dear :)

A good example of giving in to racism. That's the kind of thing "acceptance" causes.

I'm struggling to see what is so hard to miss. Discrimination happens everyday. Mental health problems in BAME groups as a result of discrimination in the UK is increasing - but we're all on equal footing, right?

Comments like this are where terms like 'pale, stale, and male' have spawned from - you cannot possibly suggest that something does not exist when it is not something that you experience or concerns you directly. Because I can bet you that if it did concern you, you'd know considerably more about it. But it doesn't, so you don't.
