Why do people believe in "institutional racism"?

You see, back in the good old days, the days when Pakistan was a British Territory, in the 1800's. Pakistanis were sick and tired of being under occupation, so once they gained Independence, they sought revenge. They asked themselves "They occupied us, what can we do to get them back?". Then it hit them, not only where they asking the question, they were also answering it. Invade Britain. However, this was the 21st century, you couldn't just occupy a country outright (Except for Israel, but that's a story for another time). They had to occupy Britain covertly. They soon realized over-running the British with their own kind was the the most effective way. So It began, thousands upon thousands of Pakistani's migrated to the UK. They integrated into society, they became the leaders of their society (Sadiq Khan). This effect can be seen on many British websites, even this one. Because most Pakistani's are Muslim and a the sites user are very often Pakistani, in effect, this site is full of Muslims.Hope that answers your question

Institutional racism is a pattern of social institutions — such as governmental organizations, schools, banks, and courts of law — giving negative treatment to a group of people based on their race.

I think time is ultimately irrelevant. Even if it begins today, it would still be institutionalised. Dont you think if institutionalised racism happened since the 50s, we can still dismiss it?

I disagree.
What you are saying, in hidden form, is that the exams are designed in such a way that "white" people pass and thus get the good jobs .

We can see by looking at the FULL SPECTRUM of ethnic groups that some do better than locals and some do worse.

I do agree that it is a good idea to give failing groups a leg up, but I do not think its helpful to describe their failure as due to some other group.

As a Christian I always have been taught, generally speaking, look to myself, if I want to do better, don't assume the other person is to blame for my failure.

You disagree with the definition? ok. I think you need to google some examples of institutionalised racism.

Typical insitution?
I guess Tate Gallery.

There's no solution in saying "There's racism out there" - how does that solve anything?

Show me a law that is racist in intent and we'll agree. Show me a police officer that commits a racist act, like in South Carolina when a black man was unlawfully shot whilst running away, and we'll agree.

The idea you can craft a narrative based on no racism just because it's somewhere out there in the ether doesn't solve problems, it creates more problems for people because now they grow up in an environment where there are told every obstacle they face is from this shadowy, nameless, faceless group who's out to get them simply because of the colour of their skin.

I read the link. It said: "there was no evidence whatsoever that black people in the UK in centuries gone by were slaves and that at best they numbered 10k (not even 0.1% of pop - not statistically significant). I am well aware that we all know that pocahontas lived, married and died here.. Its your link not mine

wtf are you on about

How isn’t it. It’s literally the entire debate. People on the left don’t have anything against facts. They,you, hate facts. When facts are thrown at you, you have no response, so you say you’re being bullied, or that was racist. It’s ridiculous.
