School criticized for not being multicultural enough

[darael]

Criticised

 

[Theophany]

You do know the "I can't be racist because my girlfriend/best mate is [insert ethic minority here]" is a totally fallacious argument?

Don't take that away from us, we need that to justify our racist views whilst being on our high horses.

I'm not fond of scousers, does this make me a racist ?

No, just means you like your wheels where they belong... on your car

Most racists generally appear to believe that their race is superior to all others, I would have thought it quite rare for someone to solely hate a single race without harbouring similar feelings for any others.

But I wasn't talking about what 'most' racists believe, merely making the point than you can be racist without hating all other races than your own (thereby debunking the 'I can't be racist because my mate mate is black' argument).

Every day recently just seems to be wah wah wah racist this racist that wah wah. So bored of it all

 

[OpenToSuggestions]

Load of nonsense.

If a school can be classed as not having enough immigrants in it then surely it is OK to say when a school has too many in it?!

 

[arknor]

still waiting for my sons school to do anything multicultural like a Christian play.... just anything remotely Christian.

every other faith seems to get it's stage time

 

[LeeUK]

When I was at school it was

First school 100% white British
Middle school 99% white British
High school 98% white British

Never had any problems like this.

Much like how we often hear about the lack of black managers in English football but rarely do those people talk about the over-representation (statistically and not morally speaking of course) of black players.

Its only culturally diverse if there are no white people, don't you understand?

 

[Rich_L]

Don't see the problem, it's like when they take Northern children down South to experience civilisation.

 

[Monkeynut]

You are misunderstanding what a racist is. It is someone who hates ANY race/creed not someone who hates EVERY race/creed other than their own.

A person who has a black wife but hates Pakistanis is still a racist. Alternatively, someone who likes 'westernised' Asian women but dislikes their traditional counterpart and thinks they should all convert to the former would also be racist.

Disliking cultural traditions is racist?

Laughable.

I lolled

 

[TheyCallMeAndy]

The schools near me have a load of ethnic variation people from all sorts of backgrounds and races yet everyones friendly..

 

[spudbynight]

Will schools in the likes of Bradford or Tower Hamlets be described as not multicultural because they don't have any white kids. Are they going to be sent to Devon for a couple of days to find out about "white people"?

What a load of twaddle.

 

[C.R.A.Z.Y]

Typical daily 'fail' hate and thinly veiled racist propaganda.

Of course you're right, I can't stand the sight and hate my Chinese girlfriend. Still shag her every night through

Not implying this is the case for you, but it is entirely possible for one's sexual desire toward a particular body image to overthrow one's hate for particular race.

Eg. One could utterly hate black people, yet love the big booties the females have.

So when you say you cant stand your Chinese girlfriend but still shag her, I have the ability to believe you.

Shouldn't they be worrying about the standard of teaching not who they are teaching stupid backward country ran by idiots.
