Popular Post simple1 Posted April 5 Popular Post Share Posted April 5 12 hours ago, NorthernRyland said: This is undeniably racist if you switch the races. He doesn't even call them Scottish but dehumanizes them into a mere color. I'll repost this from my other comment: "Prime minister... BROWN, secretary of state... BROWN.... chief of police...BROWN" Too many brown people in Thailand! See how that sounds? You sound like a lunatic to be in Thailand and be so irate at the amount of brown people. He was talking to a near total lack of representation for minorities, which is an issue he wishes to improve upon as well as his and his families experience with racial abuse which needs to be addressed within society. Having a Thai wife who faces racial abuse, from time to time, in Australia, personally seems reasonable to me. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CG1 Blue Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 9 hours ago, RuamRudy said: the point Humza Yousef was making is that there are very few people of black or Asian heritage in the Scottish parliament despite Scots of ethnic heritage making up a sizeable number of our countrymen. And if he'd said it like that it would be a bit more palatable. Instead he chose ranting and repeating the word 'WHITE' about 9 times. That's incitement, plain and simple. Btw, there's only about 5% ethnic minorities in Scotland. Scotland has had nowhere near the amount of immigration as England, so why would he (you) expect ethnic minorities to hold the top positions? Does he (do you) want quotas? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have been at pains to point out, the 1 minute and 5 seconds of his speech is but an excerpt of it. The full speech has nuance and context but that has been ignored by those who want to validate their innate prejudices. 16 minutes ago, CG1 Blue said: Btw, there's only about 5% ethnic minorities in Scotland.

Of course not - but all things being equal, there should naturally be a representative number of people from ethnic backgrounds across all areas of Scottish politics. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are making excuses for the SNP leader's racist rant, plus I would have thought that what was between an MP's ears was important, not their colour.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why naturally? What if among that 5% of ethnic minorities very few have the desire, talent or ambition to reach top positions in politics? You (and Yousef) seem to be suggesting Scotland is institutionally racist. I don't think Scotland is institutionally racist. The only way to guarantee proportional representation for minorities is to have quotas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way to guarantee equal representation is to ensure equal opportunities for all, regardless of race, religion, gender or sexuality. We have some way to go on that one, but maybe this new bill will help improve things. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it won't, it is designed to stifle free speech and to persecute those that have the temerity to speak the truth and you are part of the problem by allowing such an odious law to exist without challenging it! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did a survey and realised that there were disproportionate amount of White Scottish men living in Thailand and not enough ethnic minority Scottish people living in Thailand . Would you be willing to move back to live live in Scotland and swap with an ethnic minority Scot ? Like, you go back to live in Scotland and a Brown Scottish guys moves out to Thailand ?

Captain Monday Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 On 4/4/2024 at 6:17 PM, n00dle said: The whole white diatribe is idiotic. According to Audit Scotalnd : According to population data, 95.4 per cent of the Scottish population report their ethnicity as 'White'. Approximately 4.5 percent of the population are from ethnic minorities, with the Asian population being the largest minority ethnic group (2.8 per cent). So what kind of representation does he expect? Apparently not proportional. White is not an ethnicity. It is a lack of skin pigment that provides privilege.
