There may be prejudice, but the same racist attitudes as British born whites? I can't agree.
That's it then as usual - Debate/Discussion over if YOU can't agree.

No matter that your views are never substantiated by evidence or facts which are relevant to the topics under discussion, and no matter that you willingly accept articles from any source which aligns with your view and copy and paste them, whilst ignoring any articles or viewpoints with facts which debunk those copy-pasted articles.

I'll leave it at that then - 'British Born White' People are racist and no other races in Britain are, or if they are it is only so tidgy and squidgy that it pales in comparison. If you say so.

How can it be over? I'm not the only person in the thread :/
That is not true, if you care to check all my references are from very reputable sources.
There is nothing here to debunk my view, no fact or source. Prejudice and racism are two different beasts.

The college said after "careful consideration" it had decided the statue should remain but it would add "a clear historical context to explain why it is there".

The statement continued: "The college believes the recent debate has underlined that the continuing presence of these historical artefacts is an important reminder of the complexity of history and of the legacies of colonialism still felt today.

"By adding context, we can help draw attention to this history, do justice to the complexity of the debate, and be true to our educational mission."
