No Whites Allowed: BBC

Telling me to leave it alone when it's you that's getting all caught up about a non story? Sure.

But that's the thing it's not really, the Christian religions dominate - even the Jehovah's Witnesses are more in number than Muslims

It appears the BBC is currently @ 12.4%.

You DO understand that UK is MAJORITY WHITE so the proportions will be higher for whites.....

Idk what you were reading about the 35k Muslims when I read the
https://muslimireland.wordpress.com/tag/cso-statistics/

it says otherwise.....

Exactly

So if the UK is majority white and most companies are run by whites : then where are black or brown people taken over ?

Well I never agreed with that, never in my life. But just pointing out to you that mathematically it's impossible to have equal proportions when the demography massively unequal which is natural seeing as this is Europe...

Right.

So I ask you the question.once again

So if the UK is majority white and most companies are run by whites : then where are black or brown people taken over ?

It's still one of the largest wether by a margin of 1% or 3000%, unless there are several religions after Christianity that are more popular than Islam then Islam is one of the largest, even if one of the largest isn't very big.

Islam is one of the largest religions in London and again Muslims make up a tiny minority, still one of the largest - just not THE largest.

Huh. That's weird. I looked at the 2011 census directly earlier and it didn't say that
And I was looking at the whole of Ireland not just the Free State
Looking again I must've made some errors It's just over 50k overall.

According to the census, there's 49,204 adherents in the Free State and 3,832 in the North, so about 53,000

I'd say that calling things "one of the largest" is misleading, but meh

Right

So I tell you once again

Since the UK is majority white then obviously there will be more white workers in many industries

Not that I ever said brown and black are taking over.

I agree with oilfreak

Does that 14% include white people who do not classify themselves as white British?



Again, I would ask if that 12.4% 'BAME' includes white people who do not classify themselves as white British.

I have a feeling your figures are affected by whites who are non-white British, especially if the 14% includes them and the 12.4% does not.

Yeah, but still, calling things "one of the largest" is pretty misleading. You could say that Linux is the third-largest OS on the market even though it's dominated by Windows and Mac - so you get my point.

OK. So reverse racism does not exist

What do you think?

A step too far for the publicly funded company?

Ofc you arent accusing me of lying. I would say your headline is highly misleading.

The latest census is 2011, which has ethnic minorities at 14%, its pribably increased since then.

Representation at middle manager and senior levels also appears low.

Representation of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic(BAME) people declined from 7.4% of the total workforce in 2006 to 6.7%in 2009 and is now just 5.4% in 2012.

So there is a real lack of diversity within the creative industries and thats what the charity is seeking to redress. Ofc you and I might not give a toss about ethnic minorities being able to gain a foothold in the industry but it must be quite frustrating for people who do want to work there.

Again you can talk about merit, but if you read s158 and 159 of the equalities Act it is not about quotas (positive discrimination is illegal) , but something they call positive action. Ive linked it for you, so you can understand how it works.

This is a debate had in parliament
https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0ahUKEwiVzMmYkdDMAhVlF8AKHTTHBkoQFggmMAE&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.parliament.uk%2Fbriefing-papers%2Fsn06093.pdf&usg=AFQjCNF5I7if-srdUNY5jSFvvggxnqd7Dw&cad=rja

Statistical disparity =/= discrimination.

95% NBA Players are African Americans. There are no quotas such as 70% NBA players must be white to represent the demographic make up of the USA.

I also feel like it's a class issue as much as anything else.

You should read the links and appreciate why the story you posted is a gross misrepresentation. If you think its a class issue, then you might wnat to think why theres such poor social mobility. If you never get the opportunity or even worse the system works against you, then you arent going to move up.

Another issue with the BBC is that the further you go up in the organisation it seems to be dominated by white middle class males. Is that just ability?

Statistical disparity doesnt always = discrimination, but you might want to investigate why.
