  1. ​ @LOCATIONREDACTED I've noticed the same, I have to undergo counter-terror training at work and all of the "baddies" represented are wh men. Sadiq Khan's recent "maaaate" campaign was another example of this, the men displaying negative, sexist traits were all wh and the good men criticising their behaviour were all non-wh. Ads are rife with it too, any time they want to portray a negative personality trait, they get a wh male actor in.

  4. There's a British outdoor clothing and camping equipment retailer called "Black's Outdoors", and their advertising materials disproportionately feature... Blacks outdoors.

  5. ​ @calvinfatman7918 Fact. B people might have been underrepresented decades ago but they were usually depicted sympathetically, rather than demonised.

  6.  @Richard-or9rt  No, it's just camping, hiking, walking gear, which is hilarious as few of them have any interest in being outdoors in the countryside.

  7. Well said. What many people don't realise is that halal certification is being applied to all sorts of products now, not just meats. Bread, sweets, most edible products in fact, and now, even white goods such as fridges and washing machines are being halal certified. It's an iniquitous state of affairs because it amounts to a tax, levied on all purchasers, the proceeds of which are directed to Islamic charities and causes, to benefit m people alone. It's a disgusting situation and should be prohibited.

  10. Because, "money talks", and the minority behind this has very deep pockets, not to mention owning a large proportion of the media.
