I don't think it can be that as the research that the BBC are reporting on already claims that to be the case and it's been quoted in at least one other post.
The BBC has no leftist bias at all.

I suspect you'll find you're mistaken then.

No matter how many times people try to paint the BBC being especially biased it all turns out to be drivel.
Look at the bbc coverage of say US racial issues,
Then contrast this to their coverage of racial issues in South Africa.
For example if you Google boer killings, the bbc's stance is this
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-45336840.amp
While their leader says
So are groups playing on a 'fear' in commas or do they actually have a reason to be scared?
If you don't think there is a hard left position taken by the BBC you are probably ignoring the worldwide issues and reporting standards.

Coming from someone who is constantly trying to create a race war I will ignore your mad bias.

Thats not my bias, that is the bias of the bbc.
It is also Malema trying to create a race war not me. I'm not threatening genocide or calling those who are under threat cry babies.
I bet you think the old Kill a boer song is just fine too.

A balanced view will always appear biased if you're far to one side or other. If the BBC appears biased to you, perhaps you're an extremist?
@BallistixOnZ490 Skimmed through the article and the journal someone linked. It does seem like the BBC doing its best to stoke racial tensions as usual. To the rest of you lets not pretend like the BBC doesn't do this.
One thing that isn't mentioned is, did people consider that black people may prefer to live in these hotter areas? Or conversly white people and those of lighter skins may actively look to avoid these areas due to ease at which they get sun burnt. From what i've seen and may have missed neither the article or the paper even consider peoples behaviours as being a factor. Or people's perception of heat. One mans hot is another mans cold.
There is some information that appears to be lacking in this heat stress argument. My assumption that it isn't enough to say that your neighbourhood being hotter than someone elses is a problem. my first thought is that there is a threshold temperature that one must cross before heat stress is an actual issue. e.g. if one area is of a city is 20 degrees and another area is 15 degrees. This is a huge disparity but is living at 20 degrees actually an issue.
The rest of this thread is a *********** and I am unable to see the initial post probably because it was deleted.

Vague statement is vague. Trusted in what sense? Are they trusted on all new stories or some. Are they trusted to cover stories with "fairness" ?
Edit: Also Highly trusted
. They got a 6.something . Usually these scales have 5 as neutral.

Contact the researchers and ask them.
Edit: Also Highly trusted
OK, 'highly trusted' compared to many other media sources (which tended to score between 2-5). Still not what we would expect if the Beeb was rife with leftist bias.
It's sad that the bar is so low. If you want to celebrate mediocrity that then go ahead but don't expect other to join you.
Also you've changed the initial argument to make your point. Probably because you also accept that the BBC does have a left leaning bias? Or do you think the BBC is completely neutral in all articles?
It is possible to be bias and appear to be trustworthy. what matters is how you present the data, what data you present and what data you omit

Being biased doesn't make something untrustworthy, not that the BBC is particularly biased, certainly not like the bitter at life ragers make out.
Personally I'm more of a fan of intergalactic news, they tend to probe their sources to get to the meat of the problem

Here's a great example:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-57618356
Note how the bbc call out the perpetrators ethnicity and that of the victim.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-57863698.amp
No mention of their ethnicity, or the victims, despite both articles being almost a carbon copy of each other about sentancing.
Seems that the bbc are prepared to racially endow their articles but only in some instances...
Why is that?

I find the BBC very boring nowadays with these types of articles seeking to create victims of certain groups. If you are interested in science report ING there are much better sources of information.
Many posters mention that skin colour is an adaptation heat but it is not as it protects from high UV levels. Having a broad nose (African) is associated with heat tolerance as the larger surface area provides improved cooling compared to a narrow nose (white), which is an adaptation for cold environments as it prevents heat loss.

How come then when you blow the air is cold? But if you open your mouth wide and blow, it is warm?

Darker colours mean less reflection and more absorption of light. In that sense darker skin will heat more than lighter skin.

Because its relevant in the first case and irrelevant in the second.

The judge didn't state that race was a relevant factor in case 1.
In case 2, why wasn't it relevant? We have had a spate of grooming gangs targeting a specific race of victims by the tens if thousands. If anything race was likely the deciding factor in case 2... but wasn't in case 1.
