"The perverse and unintended consequences of our drive to instil respect for diversity is that our political and media classes have become terrified of discussing racial or religious differences. Our desperation to avoid offence is itself beginning to stand in the way of progress. And all too often the losers are minority Britons."
The Channel 4 documentary is on my planner for recording Thursday evening. I'm interested to hear what the programme has to say on this issue.
Ever wish you'd googled the quote to find this Trevor Phillips: Politicians are 'too scared' of speaking their minds about race - UK Politics - UK - The Independent before revealing yourself as a raving anti-Semite by casually talking about Jewish bollocks instead of Zionist bollocks, which would have been acceptable? Tut tut. Funny how the hypocrites of the left never demand the same standards of expression from themselves as they do from their detractors. Not you, Cranky, obviously. Must have been an auto correct from Zionist to Jewish. Happens all the time. I'm just making a general point. :Shamefullyembarrased:
So "coloured" is unacceptable whilst "people of colour" is acceptable ? I would call that PC gone mad.
Spot on Pete. That well-known Zionist Trevor Phillips, or so Cranky would have you believe. I wonder what vilification would have followed had I or any other white person expressed similar sentiments. Or Heaven forfend, a Jewish academic eh Cranky?
