I see the BBC is quite happy to blame the higher death rate of Blacks in child birth on "racism": linkSo they're quite comfortable to break down data by ethnicity in order to accuse the whitey of "racism" but cry foul when data is used to, say, show that ethnic minorities are involved in more crime/terrorism etc. That's apparently "racist" too. Poor old whitey can't win. |

Poor old whitey can't win. They give a lot of sound reasons why this may be the case including the susceptibility of ethnic minority women to have a greater risk of heart disease and the holding back of medications wrongly for the best of reasons then they throw in this little gem with no evidence as to what they mean. " On top of that is the unconscious bias that black and Asian women can experience. It all adds up." They also refer to micro aggressions again not being specific. It is a study that reaches a conclusion like all such studies and Inquiries since McPherson where they detail an investigation, make assumptions within that investigation and then use those assumptions to draw a conclusion for which there is little or no evidence. |

Exactly. They have absolutely no evidence at all to say that the higher death rate in blacks is caused by "racism". The same thing happened during Covid where the left wing media seized on figures that blacks were more susceptible to the disease than whites and blamed racism again - when there were many reasons why blacks were dying in greater numbers, like low vitamin D levels, the greater likelihood to live in multi-generation households, lower ability to work from home, greater likelihood to flout regulations etc etc.
But it's the sheer hypocrisy that gets me. The left object to profiling by ethnicity EXCEPT when it benefits the ethnics to do that. The rest of the time they that ethnicity is irrelevant and shouldn't be recorded.

The BBC reporters do realise that there are a lot of ‘ Bame’ people working in the NHS , don’t they?

Poor old whitey can't win. You'll find now that when such folk open themselves up to ethnic minorities being disproportionately higher in crime or terrorism, especially the former. It is cleverly insinuated that the reason young black folk turn to crime is because of low-socioeconomic standing which isn't their fault but is obviously someone else's. They claim to have lower prospects in life mostly due to racist "institutions" and society not giving these folk a leg up because of their skin colour, so they are pushed into a life of crime. |

Yes that's true, but one of the Left's arguments about breaking things down by ethnicity is that it's "racist" to do that. They object to breaking things down by ethnic groups - EXCEPT when it's shown that ethnics are faring badly - like when blacks are more likely to die in childbirth or more likely to die from Covid. When that happens they immediately demand that action is taken against racism. But if the data shows that a certain group is vastly more likely to perpetrate terrorism or child rape they revert to a different argument - that "not all muslims are terrorists" and it's wrong to generalise. |

I get it. The Left have all their bases covered. This ultimately means that whichever way talk about ethnic groups go, whether that be showing blacks are more likely to die in childbirth; or a discussion they usually like supressed when talking about ethnics and crime (Pakistani grooming gangs or black knife crime). The end result means that in some convoluted way 'whitey' is to blame. Bases are covered and absolving ethnic folk of their actions and behaviours is usually a burden white folk must carry for their 'microaggressions and colonial past'. |
