The fact is there are a lot of them about, especially in London. Second point is they often claim racist attitudes against them.
My view is than anyone not like a normal Brit is given shit, and me included. Race is but one way someone can be different, but the fact is it is a big industry this racism, where other differences in person can not and do not get the same support.
Anyhow back to the Chinese. They see the Africans treated as first class citizens and Muslims also. OK just to give a brief example, if you are Muslim and join a firm you will get use of your own prayer room and you can use this according to your religion, like someone would use a toilet. It's a perk of being higher up the woke pecking order. Anyhow, suppose instead of being a follower of Islam, you are a follower of Confucius. What amenities are woke firms and UK governments providing for these types, and how can they raise their wokeness? Who controls woke?

If I ever recruit a Confuscian, I'll happily run to a plate of crescent-shaped cookies at coffee time.
And I'll be impeccably polite about their ancestors.
Employers are, of course, expected to make "reasonable adjustments" to accommodate their staff's cultural needs. A "prayer room" for observant Muslims is pretty normal these days (much as some large factories - Rolls Royce in Derby, for example - may have had a "chapel" on site). Or maybe you'd prefer your religious colleagues to just get down on their knees to the Sky Ghost in the middle of the office?
I'm sure any Confuscian employee who asked could also have any reasonable employer make similar accommodations.
Accommodating religious needs is nothing new. I live on an 18th century street of mill cottages. The local historical society recently found that one house on the road was blessed - in the 1890s, in response to a number of Eastern European refugees finding work in our mills - by a Nottingham rabbi for use as a meeting place, prayer room, and yeshiva.

That is exactly what they used to do when I worked in the Middle East. In fact they didnt need an office - in the car park, along the road, it didn't matter. You dont need a special building to pray to Mo. |

So long as I can wear my sacred colander to work I'm OK with that. Bless his noodly appendages. |

You dont need a special building to pray to Mo. And it's fine. Affects me not one bit. To me, it's like breastfeeding - the vast majority of people probably don't have an opinion one way or the other - except the person doing it may, quite understandably, wish to do it in comfort and privacy. |

None. The victimhood of racism is hierarchal. Woe betide anyone who tries to muscle in and claim the top two spots of that in the league table. |

I think it might have more to do with how much a particular race smashes stuff up. The Bristol tribe will probably get extra brownie points for their recent riots. Still a long way behind London though. |
