Xenophobia in the UK (rant)
9 years ago
I'm sick and tired of seeing headlines and hearing comments from people around me about xenophobia and racism in the UK; I've got news for ya, it exists everywhere you go, not just in countries that are predominantly white!
No one ever says anything about reverse discrimination and that infuriates me, discrimination is discrimination, I don't care what color you are. Not to mention the Supreme Court ruled yesterday that the use of affirmative action in college admissions is constitutional, how so? Denying someone entry into the school of their choice because of their race is discrimination based on race, a violation of the Civil Rights Act.
I'll admit, whites screwed over minorities really bad in the past, but doing the same to whites won't right the wrongs, that's not justice, it's revenge, and it won't bring us closer together, it'll just divide us more, hatred breeds more hatred, the only way to level the playing field and give everyone an equal opportunity, is to give no one preferential treatment, everyone has a clean slate, no advantages over another group. That's my opinion, thank you.
