An example of structural racism comes to mind: jobs at Pinewood studios. These are extremely well paid manual jobs - riggers, painters, etc - which pay hugely above the average and are usually offered to relatives of existing workers, who are all white. How would recruitment there ever be made fair without someone going out of their way to recruit from ethnic minorities?
Thank you for this, Emma. If more people learned to read the original source documents, and then applied some plain old-fashioned common sense (does it still exist?), the world would be a safer, fairer place. The Daily Fascist and its allies specialise in this kind of alarmist nonsense, and it needs to be shown up for what it is - downright racism.
This sort of post appeals to people who have all their prejudices in place, ready to be outraged at the drop of a hat. What outrages me is the disproportionate amount of influence these people have.

Yes, exactly this. We need to actively make change as it doesn't happen by itself.
