You seem more bothered about westies comments than the fact that this incident proves that there is zero tolerance of racism. Why is that?

Agreed, it’s good it’s been dealt with and proves it won’t be tolerated despite all the whining on here. Although let’s not confuse one dirty old racist man probably obsessed with a much younger woman with an entirely corrupt and racist organisation which this article alludes too in some places.

Indeed. Another thing that is amusing is how the claims in support of taking the knee range from it being a powerful anti racism gesture the world will see, down to why don’t people like it? it doesn’t really matter, it’s only for a few seconds and the quite brilliant well it might make people think. Even those supporting it can’t work out if it’s significance or if it’s going to make any difference. But if you don’t agree with it you just be racist

Doesn’t seem to be a very well thought out study does it

Like Sad old git for example. Thumping away on his keyboard about how terrible it all is, how it all needs to change yet so keen to embrace other cultures he chose to live in a small middle class town with a 97% white British population, refused to answer when he last encountered racism at a football match. then there is aintforever, all over any racism thread cheering on from the sidelines yet the one chance he had to pull someone up on racism he decided it might negatively impact his career so didnt bother its hilarious those shouting loudest appear not to actually do anything more than post about it on a football forum.

So anyway, any more on these barriers black working class kids have that white ones don’t?

See you can’t even tell what sex they are from their name 😀

What would really get a racists nose if if some young lad just out of uni pulled them up for blatant racism in public. But i guess you dont know anyone that cares enough to do that. Lets applauded other people making token gestures instead.

They could and they would have.

It’s seems Dr Haque didn’t have a problem getting an interview for his job despite having a name some would think would Make him non white

It’s also mentions some of the jobs as being accountants and software engineers. There are a disproportionately high amount of Asian accountants and software engineers compared to the percentage of the population so I fail to believe a qualified account wouldn’t get an interview for an accountancy job just because they have what some might consider a non white name.

Spot on. Obafemi has had a lot of chances and Ralph has questioned his professionalism more than once, suggests an ongoing problem. He’s got a bit about him but as we’ve seen with many many players talent isn’t enough at the top level

That’s not true is it. You told us a while back that you had the chance to pull your boss up on racism but decided that might damage your career. So despite your scrambling around on here it doesn’t really matter that much to you. You see unlike you I don’t need to make things up.

What was the name of the non white person you chose not to stick up for when you had the chance to quash racism in your workplace?

Are you suggesting black kids aren't English then? See this making things up is easy isn't it. Its incorrect that peoples names is evidence that black kids have more barriers to cross than white kids, because these days plenty of working class black and white kids you could not distinguish their skin colour just from their name, so you've scored another own goal with that post claiming it proves it as you desperately trying to point out racism again. Not the quickest of cats are we.

Because is you bothered to read the thread rather than jumping on any chance to scream racism you’ll see that the discussion is about what barriers do working class black kids have compared to White kids. As you have proven by pointing out judging by their names isn’t a barrier as many many black and white kids have similar names. Hence why I gave the example of 3 black footballers who you’d have no idea what colour they were just from their name. Come on, keep up!

proves the point, surname Mohammed didn't change did it. How do they know from a name if someone is a working class black or white kid? What colour would you think Theo Walcott, Che Adams, Kyle Walker Peters were if you'd never seen them before? Plenty of white kids called Theo, Che and Kyle too. Or maybe like most normal people it probably wouldn't even enter your head, you wouldn't think "oh Kyle, he must be black, i wont interview him"

Didn't know him that well but a good guy, always around on the Saints scene, a proper Southampton lad. Sad news.

What barriers to black working class kids face that white working class kids dont?

maybe for the upper classes, but that's a class issue not a colour one.

thanks pal, apart from the David Brent bit you've pretty much nailed it.

Not sure what white privilege i've ever experienced, although i grew up on a predominately white council estate when i talk to black people from similar backgrounds our childhood/young adult experiences were pretty similar and we are where we are in life now due to effort and choices.

Is it racist to expect South American people who have lived in England for a couple of months to automatically have extensive knowledge of English including words that might be offensive in English but not Spanish? *checks colour of person* No the damn racist white person should know we'd be offended.
