It's sad how so many people in the UK seem to fear reality so much that they choose to abandon it and seek refuge in their preferred fiction. It's sad how people choose a comforting lie over the truth. I only hope one day, they can find the courage to rejoin the rest of us in reality.
Yes, let's return to reality.

Show me the figures, stats, data

They sent around 3,200 fake job applications for both manual and non-manual jobs - including chefs, shop assistants, accountants and software engineers - in response to adverts on a popular recruitment site between November 2016 and December 2017.

All of the fictitious candidates were British citizens, or had moved to the UK by the age of six, and had identical CVs, covering letters and years of experience.


While 24% of white British applicants received a call back from UK employers, only 15% of ethnic minority applicants did.

Compared to White British applicants, people of:

Pakistani heritage had to make 70% more applications
Nigerian and South Asian heritage 80% more applications
Middle Eastern and north African heritage 90% more applications

Do it was a set up, with the aim to find racism at any cost, and would you believe it, they just happened to find what they were looking for.

So they set up a test for institutional racism, and they found that it existed? There is a conclusion to be made there and you're ever so close.

Thumbs up

Dr Tony Sewell: ‘When people are this desperate to silence you, you must be saying
something true’


The study was compiled by 10 independent commissioners – nine of whom are
black or Asian. Sewell himself is the London-born son of Jamaican parents, part
of the Windrush generation who came to Britain in the 1950s.

Yet this exhaustive 258-page data-driven report finds that, when it comes to
the life chances of the 13 per cent of the UK population from ethnic minorities,
“impediments and disparities do exist, but are varied and ironically very few of
them are directly to do with racism”. The commissioners “no longer see a
Britain where the system is deliberately rigged against ethnic minorities,” the
report concludes. “Britain should be seen as a model for other white-majority countries”.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/202...ing-something/

top DT comment:

What a refreshing voice of reason. A big part of the problem is this ingrained
idea of perpetually playing the victim, aided and abetted by the hard left
desperate for a good client base of dependency.

Multiculturalism has totally failed ethnic minorities and it’s more than time it
was discarded.

The point you know you're missing, is that they were brought in to write this report because they'd been saying the same things in newspapers for years beforehand. No serious academic study would do that, especially when others who were supposed to be involved were marginalised and used as fronts.

And why not post your own opinions on a forum? If we want to read DT comments we can go to the site.

It's always white people that want to deny racism, isn't it? We just hate acknowledging the truth.

Bit of a racist statement there.

...so Tony Sewell who has apparently previously stated that he doesn’t believe there is any institutionalised racism in existence was commissioned by Boris to lead the report to support that there is no institutionalised racism in existence..?...that doesn’t sound an unbiased person if he’s expressed very definite views and hey ho, look at what the report is saying...exactly fitting his own beliefs...?...

This bit seems to be buried at the bottom of the piece

But it also warned UK is not 'a post-racial society' and 'outright racism persists'
