Why do the white working class get away with so much bigotry?

Can I just ask.. what's wrong with being a little bit anti-teen mum? I'm talking about the kind who get the free flats and basically laugh in the faces of those who work for a living. Unless they were raped which is very rarely the case, they got themselves into the situation and decided to sponge from society. I don't see how you can see being a teen mum is in any way the same as being disabled.

Also.. you think the white working class are the ones getting away with being ignorant? I suggest you read up on prince Phillip and some of his comments. Personally I find them quite funny because it's obvious there were no bad feelings behind it but the point still stands that you get ignorance everywhere.

Yeah because there are no racist, xenophobic or homophobic people who are middle or upper classed are there? None of them look down on teen mums and the disabled Your post is very offensive and and bigoted it's self, yes a lot of white working class people are bigoted, but so are a lot of middle and upper class people. Bigotry is not exclusive to the working classes!

It's because they know that the government will provide for them...until the government implement laws stating that people in such situations will not be given priority, those types of people (the type that Jeremy Kyle follows around with a net) will not get it in their thick heads that there's something out there called a Condom

oh I totally agree, don't get me wrong...sorry if it came across as otherwise haha

just went abit overboard with my rant!

I realise that lol I wasn't asking why they were getting away with it. I was just pointing out that I don't think being anti teen mum is the same as being racist or bigoted towards disabled people.

I know there's anecdotal evidence of other groups being bigoted but it only exists on a very mainstream level with the white working class. Teenage mums are often young girls who are pressured into having sex by their assertive boyfriends. Plus there's peer pressure, fear of humiliation if they refuse.

If they're too weak to say no then that's their own problem and anyway sex doesn't automatically equal babies. If you're not capable of supporting a child then the responsible, obvious and easy thing to do is use contraception. There are loads of different forms to suit pretty much anybody and there's no excuse not to use it. I was having sex at 15 and so were most of my friends. We're now 19 and we don't have babies.

The white working class seem to be the main culprits for being teenage mums though. It's the middle class people who seem to be the ones looking down on them moreso than the other working class people.

no, you're too thick to get a job yourself and use the foreigners as an excuse

I'm British Born and Bred, been part of the cadets and currently training in the RAF whilst studying full-time at university and owning a tax-contributing business...so what if i'm brown...I can damn sure guarantee that I've probably contributed a hell of alot more to this country and economy than you have!

They lost their council seats because they did an atrocious job. The worrying thing is that a party which advocates the expulsion of all non-white people had any council seats in the first place. I don't really understand this argument about immigrants competing for jobs. We're a capitalist society, capitalism requires competition. If English/British workers aren't operating in a competitive environment our economy will suffer as other countries do get more competitive and get better workers. Think of the Premier League, would you support the expulsion of foreign players from the Premiership and having an English-only Premier league. If not, why not?

There's a recession in and it makes people desperate I guess?

I've seen a lot of stories in the media (and on TSR) about Muslims/immigrants/asylum seekers etc. taking over and if we're not allowed to criticise them because of the 'PC Brigade' and 'political correctness' but this acts as a distraction for a much bigger problem in our society. This is that the white working class get away with far more bigotry than any other group. Just look at the 'newspapers' which cater to the white working class by representing their views, The Sun, Mirror, Express and the Daily Mail. These papers provide so much bigoted right wing propaganda: xenophobia, misogyny, disablism, ageism, abusing teenage mums and council house tenants etc. it's disgraceful.

All of the casual anti-immigrant, anti-teenage mum, anti-Muslim, anti-disabled, misogynistic discourse that is rampant among the white working class does of course have an impact on the UK politically. The biggest fascist party in the UK is the BNP who got 5.2% of the London mayoral vote in 2008, 6.3% of the 2009 EU elections and in 2007 they had 50 councillors in the UK after gaining 292,911 votes.

Given the political threat such bigoted views end up having on our society why do are so soft on such views? Why is our media full of it? Every single newspaper with the exception of the Guardian and Independent promotes this populist nonsense and you even see countless threads on TSR supporting these viewpoints. Why are we not harsher on such people who promote these views? Do we want to go down the route of other European countries like the Netherlands with Geert Wilders and France where the National Front polled at 20%?

Basically, we need to close up to the commonwealth and open up to the E.U. That will almost definitely lead to a more peaceful society in the long term. Why? White people, after a few generations in the UK, more or less forget they are foreign and so does everyone else.

Unskilled immigration from Pakistan and Africa into white working class areas just sounds like a recipe for disaster though and not purely because of how racist poor white people are. Look at the amount of tribal/ethnic conflicts in those parts of the world. What I'm saying is philosophically unsound but reasonable pragmatically /realistically.

So basically you're in favour of free speech providing you agree with what is being said.
Tbh i'd like to point out that white middle class guardian readers are some of the worst hypocrites going. They're off like a shot when they see too many immigrants in their own neighbourhood, a phenomenon known as 'white flight'... But people with no choice but to stay put aren't supposed to grumble.
