What is equality to you?

It's not relevant to the discussion. Its based on false assumptions. Of course its meant to mean white men have been given the £10 all the other collective of undertrodden have been given £5.

It's so riddled with assumption and prejudice it's unbelievable.

The indian daughter of a doctor isnt the one with £5 she's got £10. The white son of a labourer is the one with £5.

Lumping racial or gender groups based on average is ridiculous. You will quickly scream against it if there is a slightest hint of it in stop and search.

Treating all people equally is what equality is about. Nothing else.

 

Wow, there are no assumptions, at no point does it mention race, sex, disability, sexual orientation, age, religious belief.

 

It's a simple question, why can't you answer it?

 

Here it is again

 

The majority group has been given £10

 

The minority group has been given £5

 

The minority group is given an additional £5 to make things equal with the majority group.

 

How is that an advantage for the minority group and discrimination against the majority group?

It is obvious what it is aiming at. I know you think you are clever but it is a completely childish, transparent, irrelevant example.

You have also refusesd to answer my very specific example, because it clearly shows the stupidity and naive racism of the policy.

Why were people given different amounts initially?

No - he’s highlighting that it isn’t discriminatory-youve assumed it relates to white people being unfairly treated.

Still can't answer it honestly though, can you?

Positive action is predominantly based on reducing the disproportionate number of white males in lots of roles. Not such a whacky assumption in a discussion obout positive action really is it.

In your irrelevant example, with a free supply of fivers, and people who were originally gifted £5 or £10, it makes no difference.

So, now you've satisfied that, can you answer my example?
