I have an experience to add to a few month old high profile racial profiling story

[thegodfather]

Just a short insight from a different view, this is not in a book and it does not make headlines, the western press will never run it.

While racism is in our sociaty it is not at the level it is in many.

I have worked overseas for 17 years and currently live and have a business in Asia. While i can say a lot about many countries i will just list some true views from here

A local guy went through a red light drunk, hit me and knocked me off my bike, the police came and fined me saying "if i was not the there country he would not have hit me"

The local airline has prices for local and non local (more of course)

International organisations (yes ones that everyone knows) get away with advertising jobs with "nationals only apply" (try that at home)

The electric is more if your not local

The garbage pick-up is more if your not local

The tax on my business is much more for me than local.

I can't go shopping as the price will go up (send a local who takes a cut)

Could go on and on, Why this open racism never makes it to press i will leave for you to decide.
I just wanted to highlight that racism is very very very prevalant, but is only addressed in western countries.

Sort of....Except in America we have institutionalized reverse racism in the form of Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Employment. Of which there is nothing "Equal" about EOE. In America, we try to make reparations to 'oppressed peoples' by giving those oppressed peoples more points on tests, lowering admissions standards and criteria, and factoring in social constructs like race into promotion decisions in the interest of appearing 'equal.'

EOE is a crock of shit and rife in the UK.

While it is supposed to be "equal for everyone" what it actually translates to is:

"If you're a white heterosexual male, you are considered last"
