Seeking Racism Where It Does Not Exist.

What’s in a name? A great deal it would seem, including perhaps a diminished chance of being shortlisted for a job, offered a university place, or a rental property if you have an ethnic or racial minority background. Even a nursery place can hang in the balance, as Scotland’s secretary for health and sport, Humza Yousaf, recently discovered: he suspects that an application for his two-year-old daughter was denied by a nursery in Dundee on discriminatory grounds. (NB: The nursery in question has denied the allegation!) Guardian.

Blogger: this unending desire to identify 'racism' where, in all likelihood, it barely exists is a feature exclusive to the modern left.

'Institutional racism' is the biggest bugbear for those normal people who truly dislike real racism but who are profoundly suspicious about those uncovering it 'as a fact' when it is no more than a rather woolly opinion or half-baked suspicion.

Research from leftist academics is wholly unconvincing. It is short on facts and high on conjecture.

The few tangible examples uncovered are indeed, relative rarities.

The Jonathan Arnott (former MEP) statistical piece on whether the UK is racist or not is overwhelmingly convincing. The stats are conclusive that it is not. Racism exists in all societies but these are isolated examples in the UK. The stats reveal the real truth.

It was for that reason that it has now been published three times in just a year on this Blog.
