L'Oréal sacks first transgender model

so many transphobic and racist people on this thread, makes me sick. funny how you guys are most likely way too embarrassed to say anything in person, but feel like big persons behind a computer screen. she's probably 1000 times more successful than most of you, even though it'd crush you to admit it. disgusting, pathetic, little people.

saying white people benefit from systematic racism is a reason to get fired these days, I guess. but jeffree starr can still have a career despite videos arising of his racist history; and johnny depp the domestic abuser still manages to be successful in hollywood. ugh.

Yes. Which would also explain why the police would perhaps proportionately target them.

Or are you some grand conspiracy theorist?

Do they? Or are they disproportionately targeted by the police, which would therefore increases the likelihood of being found guilty of a criminal offence?

Black people get a more than fair deal out of the UK, equality laws making every person equal by race as stated by protected characteristics, in fact the equality act is unfair on whites as it allows positive action/affirmative action so you can advertise to just black and people of ethnic minorities, but you can't advertise to just whites

The police investigate all reported murders, they don't ignore murder investigations based off a hunch the murderer might be white.

From immigration in the 1950s, black people were disproportionately targeted by the police despite the fact that the crime rates in the countries that they emigrated from were similar to the rates of crime in the UK.

& I hope that you're not trying to insinuate that it's okay for the police to be institutionally racist towards black people.

Ok?

How can you talk about equality and then complain that you can't advertise to just whites? in what fields are white people underrepresented?

We're not in the 50s anymore. We're talking about right now.

It's definitely not okay for police to be institutionally racist towards black people, so it's a good thing that they aren't.

Before you even try to bring up the cases of Police unjustly killing unarmed black men, that happens to white people as well. In fact, sometimes the killers of the unarmed black men have been black police officers.

It's not institutional racism. It's incompetent Policemen.

Look at that Nurse who got manhandled and arrested in the news the other day. Why haven't you been vocally outraged about that? If she was black you'd have claimed the detective was racist rather than incompetent.

and the statistics show that still blacks are disproportionately murdering each other compared to white people. Meaning your argument that crime is higher in black communities only because the police focus on them more is false

The point is that they were disproportionately targeted before the police has any reason to believe that they were any more criminal than white people. So how can you be sure that he same thing isn't still happening?


You can't be serious. Do you honestly believe that there is no evidence to suggest that the police have been and continue to be racist?


It disproportionately happens to black men by white officers. That's the point.


Yeah ok


Ive read news reports about black people being unfairly treated and I am not always vocal about it. I don't always have to be vocal to be outraged. Someone made a thread very recently about a black guy who said he wants to kill all white people. I commented on that saying that his behaviour was disgusting and that he should be punished, so don't try to imply that I have an agenda.

Equality is equality if this clause didn't exist then I would be happy with the equality act of 2010, imagine as a white person seeing your perfect job advertised and due to positive action you can not apply for it because you don't have a black face it is fundamentally wrong our nation has gone too far one way and yet minorities and social justice warriors call for even more black rights. How is advertising to just blacks fair, the idea of the application process is to be considered on your merits and not your skin colour-another example of the power of the race card- remove the clause from the equality act or abolish it

Is there a reason why you're so focused on murder? I wasn't referring to murder at all.

You do have an agenda though. Didn't you accuse a police officer of murder/being racist because a black drug dealer choked on his own stash and died? Before the evidence even came out as well.

Murder is indicative of crime rates as a whole and murder charges don't depend on police patrol focus

When I say disproportionately targeted, I mean in the form of stop and search practices, arrest rates, increased likelihood of custodial sentences for similar offences etc.

It's nonsense really but I guess that's the effect of being privileged your entire life
