The left, on the other hand, who I used to think were against racism, seem to have a real serious problem with black and Asian people being in power.
It may be because black/brown people in power are successful and bright and fit a profile of being part of an elite group. They don’t fit the mould of victim.
There are groups of black/brown people who would not have had the same opportunities for success though, just as it is very difficult ( though maybe not as difficult) for working class white people, especially males, to change their circumstances.
Would child Q have been treated the way she was if her teachers and the police hadn’t had racist attitudes? Or, black women have poorer out comes to their health and pregnancies if they were properly listened to ( all be it that white women are not always properly listened to either, but their outcomes seem to be a bit better)?
It seems it would be wrong to say there is no racism even when differentials of class and sex are taken into account.
It would be horrible though if a mangled, ideological critical race theory gets imported here from the U.S. like trans gender ideology was. You already hear language peppered with the word ‘intersectional’ used willy nilly.
Wouldn’t it be likely that, with a black, woman Prime Minister, the U.K. police, doctors, teachers and employers would begin to look at black people differently and with more respect?
