English town too disturbingly white

Do we have some sort of award for "Most breathtaking example of stating the bleedin' obvious"? If we have, I'm backing this bunny.

Using my logic America (and Britain, it's not a unique thing) should have a fair un-racist legal system where it's not easier to prosecute black defendents than white ones.

I presume you believe, like Laz, that each racial group commits exactly the same proportion of crimes?

If you could rid society of the amazing predjudice that still exists you wouldn't need affirmative action to help minority Americans escape from the horrendous poverty traps they find them in.

Horrendous poverty traps? Why do you think there are so many liquor stores in "poor" neighbourhoods? There is nothing stopping any minority American from educating themselves and bettering themselves. There are tons of minority scholarships and racial preferences in place for minority Americans. They could go to public school, and their parents could encourage them to study. Their only poverty is cultural.

I'm not sure that affirmative action is a great thing but as long as the American system is so focussed on making the rich richer and the poor poorer and so many people maintain these concious or subconcious racist biases society is so hugely biased in favour of the white majority that it's laughable that anyone suggests that whites are having a hard time. Something needs to be done to break the cycle.

Despite decades of racial preferences, minority Americans still struggle. Yet according to you this is all whitey's fault.

Good luck with backing up that assertion by reference to my past posting, you incredible fool.

I think you'd probably get a difference amounting to probably a smidgen of a fraction of a percentage point

Full quote, please.

No I don't. I think you'd probably get a difference amounting to probably a smidgen of a fraction of a percentage point, and that smidgen of a fraction of a percentage point would immediately be pounced on by ****wits with an agenda from whichever side of the debate they choose to plague.

You lose the dismissive sarcasm otherwise.

It would be almost impossible to get identical results from all races. However, since we have no idea how many crimes are committed, or who commits them, there is absolutely no basis for ****wits like you to arrive at some cod-"scientific" rationale involving genetics.

You are perhaps, confident, that you have not directly said such a think but your past implications have been clear. For example:

Would you be happier if I said you believe that the difference in crime rates between races is vanishingly small and insignificant? Not much difference from "exactly the same" is it?

I think he was saying that crime isn't genetics' fault.

I think you beat me to it there, unless the strange funding priorities in the UK are new to you?

Using your logic we should have Affirmative Action for prison.

You may have a point there - if more middle class white Americans were seriously in danger of going to jail I'm sure there'd be prison reform in the USA

[Caligastia]

What kind of "prison reform" do you have in mind?
