Round-up

1. The British Asian head of the National Union of Teachers, has warned that teaching British values to students could encourage racism. This is the usual rubbish we have come to expect from liberals and non-whites. Everything is racism.

2. A bunch of "Asian" anglers in Ontario are accusing local residents of racism because they have chased and threatened the anglers away from the area.

But residents of this idyllic hamlet on the shore of Big Rideau Lake, 45 minutes north of Kingston, tell a different story. Yes, there is palpable anger in town toward the "Asian" anglers, but it has nothing to do with race. Residents claim some of the many GTA anglers of Asian descent, who make repeated late-night pilgrimages to harvest crappies and rock bass, have also been caught poaching prized bass and walleye from local sanctuaries.

"This has nothing to do with racism, and everything to do with protecting the fish," says Charlie Jones, a member of a fish conservation group. "These people have been caught time and time again over the last five years either over-fishing or taking fish from the sanctuary."

Although I have to ask: what on earth are "crappies"?

3. Black people are more likely to have strokes and other health problems, apparently. The article seems to consider every possible reason for this - including attributing it to racism, believe it or not. But it doesn't seem willing to probe into whether black people simply have weaker immune systems or other biological deficiencies which could lead to higher rates of people having problems.
