North is 40 years behind rest of country in terms of racism, claims study

The North-East of England is 40 years behind the rest of the country in terms of attitude to race, a damning report claims.

A study made by academics at three prominent universities in the area says racism is experienced across the entire region and that it has an alarming rate of racist attacks and abuse with the police force being singled out as the worst culprits.

The report includes claims of women wearing traditional clothing being spat at, verbally abused and having their hair scarves pulled off in a shopping centre, and a mosque being racially targeted as public agencies in the region fail to take diversity issues seriously.

He said: 'In the North-East, we are still not used to a multicultural society and issues such as racism are still very serious, particularly in rural areas where the minority population is relatively small and isolated.

'We are witnessing the same difficulties with racism that you would have found in other regions 30 or 40 years ago.

'Sometimes it feels like being in a time warp.'

The report says racism remains a 'major issue' in the North-East, with black and minority ethnic (BME) people still experiencing racism at individual and institutional levels across public and private sectors, and in particularly in the criminal justice system.

The study, which took eight months to complete, claims the discriminatory behaviour is not restricted to multicultural areas but is spreading right across the region, regardless the percentage of white British people in any particular place studied.

Pohjois-Englannin  "rasismin" aiheuttaa epäilemättä Etelä-Englannin monikulttuurinen värinä.

Kyllä sitä värinää löytyy paljon myös Pohjois-Englannin kaupungeista.

Tuo raportti kertoo lähinnä Lontoon latteliberaalien omista asenteista.

Onko perinteinen vaatetus joku yleismaailmallinen normi?

Heh, no Brittien perinteisille (länsimaalaisiksi kutsutuille) vaatteille sylkeminen musulmaanirättien seasta voidaan tietysti tulkita miten vaan.

Hyvä ottaa asia esiin ennenkuin Helsingissä alkaa ählämien sylkemiskampanja.

P-Englannissa ei perinteisesti pidetä paljoa vaatetusta. Aiheuttaako tuo nyt sitten kuolaamisreaktion (vai oksennus)...
