Black Lives Matter: Is it becoming unreal?

I have just listened to another terrible story from the USA. Our media are focusing on the death of another person in a land far away as if it had happened here. We all know that the situation in the UK is totally different from that in the USA (See Racial discrimination in USA, UK and EU). We also know that if we look 4000 miles East or 4000 miles South there are far worse things happening than in the US.

So what is going on? The problems Black people face in the UK are similar to the problems faced by working class people generally. When I was hiring staff I changed recruitment policy to "test based interviewing" because it was obvious that working class accents were stopping Londoners from getting jobs in my organisation; largely because my fellow members on the interview panel thought common people were thick.

The pay gap between ethinic minorities and white British people was 3.8% in 2018.

Overall the White British are not romping away, earning all the money on the backs of the other ethnic minority groups:

Furthermore younger members of ethnic minorities suffer little wage discrimination:

Young people identifying as of Chinese heritage earn considerably more than young White British and young British identifying as of Afro-Caribbean heritage earn very similar wages to White British.

The UK Media are bending the minds of the impressionable, making it seem as if the UK is part of the USA. This does not mean that there is not racial discrimination in education and the work place in the UK but shows that it is much, much less than in the USA. The Broadcast Media are demonstrating globalism at work: painting a picture of the whole world that is inappropriate for the UK.

So why do we have demonstrations on the streets of the UK?

The real problem lies with the Media which is 60% privately educated and thick. The BBC has no idea what is going on and has merged its Global and Domestic News so that the poor viewer of our National Broadcaster is being misled and indoctrinated.

We need to be very wary of the UK Media. They are actually classist and hate ordinary British people with a vengeance. Their racist stereotype of the White Working Class British is some rough maniac kicking a Black Man when most Working Class White British people are like any other people when it comes to discriminatory behaviour. The reason the Media hate the Working Class White is that they, and many non-White British, want to rule their own country and govern their own economy. They want a democratic state of their own, run by them and not the corporate elite. "How dare they?"

Analysing Discrimination

Analysing discrimination on the basis of income and professional advancement seems to be superficially sensible. We are all the same and equal so why would there be fewer senior civil servants or CEOs from a particular group than we might expect in society at large?

It turns out that there are a host of reasons why people who come from established families in a country have an advantage. The most obvious reason is that CEOs and senior management tend to be over 50 years old. This immediately excludes from senior posts most of the "Other White British" migrants who came to the UK in their 20s only 15 years ago and also excludes many Asian migrants.

Another factor is the ability to speak English:

Given that in the UK both husband and wife need to work to provide for their family the lack of proficiency in English is likely to be a significant disadvantage.

A lack of family resources is also largely ignored by those analysing discrimination. Anyone who has tried establishing themselves in another town in the UK when they have little more than last month's pay packet in their pocket will understand just how difficult it can be to establish a foothold away from home. How much easier it would be to stay with an uncle until your resources have been rebuilt. Many people find that their family acts as a safety net but many migrants have families who are poor and thousands of miles away.

This initial migration challenge to the wealth of migrants is unlikely to be resolved for two or three generations:

Notice how being "Mixed" is a distinct advantage, allowing families to tap into wider family resources.

When comparing unemployment rates the propensity of many ethnic groups to favour women being at home skews the statistics dramatically. Figures that do not properly address absence from the labour market are just inflammatory.
