Hello Again And Here's the Round-up

Hi, I'm back at last after a healthy break with my girlfriend and time off over Easter. Hope everyone had a good holiday.

Well, it's that time again; let's get straight back into it: Round-up time..........

1. The first ethnic minority president of the National Union of Teachers has said ministers fuel racism by ordering schools to teach "British values".

Unsubstantiated rubbish.

2. A Professor from the University of Warwick has been criticised because a study which he conducted concluded that there was no evidence that racial disparities in the way mental health treatment is administered were to do with institutional racism. He suggested that there may be other factors involved which we should be looking at, and that simply crying racism prevents us from "looking at things in a slightly more sophisticated manner".

This is exactly the point I have made many times here at Race Relations. Our politically correct, misguided culture is so obsessed with racism that it never stops to analyse things on a deeper level and look for other factors, one of which is the very real possibility of racial and ethnic differences affecting outcomes. Of course, according to them, "all races are the same"...

It's infuriating the way this article does not even attempt to see the Professor's point of view; it simply quotes something by him and then follows it with something along the lines of, "Despite this man's nutty claims, the following statistics show that racism is involved". Well, no they don't; they show a trend and no reasons, nothing more. PC blindness closes down genuine debate and analysis once again.
