@shavixmir saidand yet you feed into her.
Duchess absurdly clings to her feelings that any racism in the UK government must be institutional, even though all laws ban racism, government departments have escalation and complaints departments and even reports suggest any racism isn’t institutional.
White privilege exists, Asian privilege does not... according to Duchess. That makes you a racist. That alone, never ...[text shortened]... nd I did report you. And I asked for you not to be banned. Just so you know.
You FFing hypocrite.

@shavixmir saidNo racism doesn’t cause poverty but it does explain why certain ethnic groups are disproportionately represented in that socioeconomic stratum. It also supports the system that creates the poverty by weakening the political strength of the poor in general.

Basically undermines my argument to some extent (not that I agree that racism is the cause, because I think poverty is based upon socio-economics), but the journalist is very sharp.

I don’t see institutional racism here. I see a ruling class hell bent on keeping power. And their discrimination (keeping themselves in power) is towards anyone different than themselves. And it doesn’t matter if you’re a black person in London, an Asian in Birmingham, a Catholic in Liverpool, a white unemployed former coal worker in York ...[text shortened]... doesn’t like is everything not ruling class about them. The skin colour or eyes are the least of it.
