chem1st Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Because only white English born people use the fish and chip shop, church or pub And Barnsley, South Yorkshire is nearly identical to Mecca, Saudi Arabia , it's just they thought their Kaaba was coal so they mined and burned it, hence the subtle aesthetic differences that one can see when comparing the two places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmith Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I don't recall much positive discrimination as you allude to, since that would be discrimination and that's been illegal for a very long time. Discrimination works both ways. That's not positive discrimination though, it's just levelling the playing field so that they all get an equal chance of carrying a rifle for Queen and Country. Well it apears they do still do it. Fire service bans white men from open days - to boost number of ethnic minority recruits Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-510418/Fire-service-bans-white-men-open-days--boost-number-ethnic-minority-recruits.html#ixzz1iWVxpr9x Fire brigade 'discriminating against white men' A fire brigade has been accused of pursuing a policy of discrimination after it excluded white men from part of a recruitment drive. UK backs positive discrimination Equal opportunities: Ministers agree to European measure that contradicts fundamental principle of British law Positive action during recruitment will become lawful for the first time in the UK from April 2011. A manager will be able lawfully to hire a black man over a white man, a woman over a man, or homosexual man over a heterosexual man, if they have the same skill set. But not a man over a women and not a white man over a black man, its looks like discrimination against white English men to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sierra Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Why does being white seem to mean that one is not allowed to feel alienated or marginalized? Perhaps their feelings are valid and perhaps they're not, but they still deserve to be addressed, don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsexydoug Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 bit of jealousy? dont you think somebody in a completely alien environment who have no friends or relatives to fall back on should get some form of extra help? dont you also think that people who are disabled, have health problems, homeless people, vunerable young adults and women or single pregnant women should also get extra help? whether theyre english or not? jealousy , yes maybe a little , should the extra help be at the detriment of those people who also need extra help but happen to be from the region originally ?

Halibut Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Wouldn’t it be sensible to have the means to be able to meet their own basic needs before making the decision to move to an alien place? Often not an option for asylum seekers or refugees. Many people come here looking for work and a better future and do so with little by way of savings.
