Senior police officer faces sack over 'whiter than white' remark

the term white trash, will still be allowed.
Uh no, the word white needs to be reclaimed from right wing lunatic ethno-nationalists. I'm not sure what the problem is with being matter of fact and simply using, as the reichwing Torygraph said in their own artlcle quote "to be faultless and above reproach in carrying out inquiries" 
Absolutely NO NEED to reinforce institutional racism with common vernacular which gives rise to unconscious bias

Are you really suggesting that using whiter than white is re-enforcing institutional racism in the police? It's got absolutely no reference to skin colour what so ever.Uh no, the word white needs to be reclaimed from right wing lunatic ethno-nationalists.

What next? Banning the term blackhole?
Yes I am suggesting that. Have you ever heard of Stephen Lawrence? My goodness, this is FRONT PAGE news and the Police, an arm of the state, has reprimanded this criminal, and you're asking (presumably not seriously!) whether I'm suggesting that there is institutional racism at the MET? Its common knowledge its one of the most racist institutions of Britain. Just skim through the Guardian archives for a full panoply of disgusting offenses over the years.
It's not very good sarcasm, when that sort of thing is actually said and believed by some people.
I'll just contextualise this a little bit more and say, given everything that happened at the MET over the years, you'd think the top brass would tone police themselves a little bit more given the flagrant injustices that have and keep on happening. It makes you think that they're not taking their diversity training seriously and that they need to go on more awareness courses. Failing that, get rid of them, root and branch reform of the organisation (again).

Obvious troll is obvious... .
Perhaps we could set up a 'ministry of truth' / 'minitrue' to ensure our language was directed in such a manner to seek to eliminate the use of terms giving rise to unconscious bias and reinforcing institutional bias in our language.
Especially if they are in use by the ghastly commoners in their vernacular.
I'm not sure whether that's the fault of the poster or the fact that the current climate has become completely absurd his post could be interpreted as being serious!
It's pretty much impossible to tell satire from reality at this point from some posters....
RF I'm pretty sure is just trolling ....
I'm not completely innocent whe It comes to posting a controversial viewpoint but I would like to think I try and provide a somewhat rational argument for my views.

Yep, pretty sure that's a parody account. It's the SJW version of Militant Black Guy from Balls Of Steel.
Different police forces, the MET is or was institutionally racist, so it's got a higher water mark to contend with.
Incorrect, according to the report that largely popularised the use of the term in the UK....
And it is a term in of itself that people frequently misuse or fail to understand properly ..
I would suggest that the usage of the term since the McPherson report shows that the then Commissioner's fears were not 'wholly unfounded' (Paul Condon at the time)
^^^ this tbh... it was quite clear how far gone this SJW nonsense was a few years ago, now it is in full pardon mode - frankly we need a few more stories about this to tip the balance and cause a decent push back.
**** knows how they've managed to both take the complaint seriously, I guess they don't necessarily have much in the way of education requirements to become a police officer but still...
This is what you get when you have forces asking people to report "non-crime hate speech", not enough officers to investigate burglaries but some complete and utter numpty (or group of numpties) think it is a good idea to put on on restricted duties because the people handling the complaint seemingly didn't pay attention in GCSE English lessons and don't know what an idiom is!
