    Institutional racism exists as follows: if you apply for a job at any UK institution, at some point, usually at the end of a lengthy application process, you will be required to fill in a ‘diversity & inclusion’ questionnaire, and if you respond as ‘white, British’, your application will be sent to the bottom of the pile. Fortunately, if you are applying for the police they will at least let you know up front that your application is not welcome.

    Today my friend Dilip is a proud British citizen, born African he and his family weren't allowed to be African because they were Asian. Malawi's loss loss was certainly our gain. He was one of the only ethnic minority pupils in our school, one of the others was Donald. Donald was probably the most popular pupil in the school and today is one of the most successful pupils to ever attend our school along with being a very fine, well known actor. Today our school is as diverse as you can get, Blue Coat C.E. Academy, Walsall.

    There are hundreds and thousands of people in Britain who do not want to be here, but they have no choice. Slavery and colonialism were responsible for the destruction of their country economy, industries, ripping of their minerals including the dead of millions which has for hundreds of years led to continuous discrimination and hardship. Until you are prepared to equal the playing field of wealth distribution, I am afraid that migration will continue. Western population needs education and an historical prospective of how the UK came to be what it is today.

      The amount of inaccuracies here made me physically repulse. Slavery usually benefited the economy of the area. Here’s how. So, warlords were practically dictators in Western Africa, where the majority of slaves were sourced. So, during the first passage of the Triangle/ Transatlantic slave trade, guns, money, pottery and assorted other goods would find their way into the warlords hand, to be used to benefit the local economy, trading people for them. With this, unemployment would also go down as there would be higher demand for workers with less supply, in theory increasing wage, too. While awful and truly disgusting, and there are so many different revolting things during slavery, you chose its only benefit- economy. Furthermore, The British Empire was primarily trade-based, look at the EIC, which handed over control of India to the British in 1858, after the Indian mutiny. India after this had ‘Sati’ banned, (wife-burning). They also had the Salt Tax, which boosted the availability of government funds, however pushing the household budget tighter. However, India largely prospered, the first time since its reception of people where there was unity throughout the subcontinent. Even further more, in India, agriculture was revolutionised, by new methods of irrigation, which greatly improved agriculture and the surrounding industry. In Africa, mining corporations were established, hugely effective in the local economies, helping greatly after Britain left. Many African countries still use this as a primary source for trade with China. GDP per capita in Africa largely did not change. India’s GDP boomed. Education in Africa was spread by British Missionaries, as well as Healthcare. In India, education was governmentally introduced, in Africa the missionaries could receive funding from the British Empire. In India, healthcare was also spread by government. Mineral-ripping actually lost the British money, but helped the local economies of the colonies. So, not a valid point there. Not only industry, but infrastructure boomed in both continents too, in India British-made rail is still used, and in Africa it is now being, for the first time, refurbished, by Chinese contractors, with deals that STILL boost the economies. Slavery did not move people to Britain, but into the Caribbean, who after WW2 were granted the opportunity of citizenship, for jobs and a new life. They came by choice to the UK. In the Indian subcontinent, they did the same, before the Partition, which was a tragedy caused by poor planning. The British themselves, did not kill anybody, and so can hardly be blamed for that. The millions of deaths you speak of could have been caused by famine, the most recent in Bengal, but was resolved before the end of WW2. Before the promise of citizenship, so would *not* have forced them there. Still more to come, though. The British restored the Taj Mahal, unlocking culture, and they uncovered scripts, translating them. They helped. At the height of the Empire, a very small proportion of the British GDP was to do with Empire*. Throughout most of it, it cost them money, however they maintained it to allow the trade. *1% of GDP. British wealth was to do with the working class, to where the majority of discrimination in the UK lies, classism.

      You should look at the moslem slavery in India and the Middle East which goes back thousands of years before telling us we need 'education' ....

      Do you have any idea what this country did in Africa? Do you? The day will come when they will have to pay for the millions of people killed by #Britain, the zillions stolen, and the oppressed people. Who the hell is talking moslem slavery in India?
