Entire media: How dare Labour deny Jewish people the right to define their own oppression? Haven't you read the Macpherson Report?
Much of the media: How dare Stormzy define his own oppression? What would he know about that? We, rich smug well-fed white people, know different.

This is what normalisation looks like folks. And it's only gonna get worse from here.
God it's offensive. It's disgusting.
No white person has any idea whatsoever what it's like to walk in a black or Muslim person's shoes. The abuse they get practically from birth onwards. The mistrust they experience. The overt and covert racism they constantly encounter.

By overt, I mean abuse right in their faces. By covert, I mean people who won't sit next to them on buses or on the tube. Then there's stop and search. Not to mention the bullying they receive at school, the friendship groups who steer clear of them, the jobs they don't get.
The stopping of and humiliation of them in customs when travelling back from abroad. White people don't get stopped; non-white people do all the time.
The vile, inhuman attempts to blame Islamist terrorism on Muslims just like you or me. The racist bullshit which justifies Islamophobia by saying "Islam's not a race - so I can say whatever the hell I like".
The school history programmes enforced by the UK government, which try to brainwash pupils into believing that the British Empire was a force for good. The eulogising of Sir Cecil Rhodes... who in practice, was more like our Hitler.
The complete and total whitewashing of Sir Winston Churchill's racist attitudes, racist policies and racist killing of Kurds, Indians and Irish people alike. The incandescent fury towards anyone who, interested in an accurate historical record, so much as merely points it out.
The unutterably racist demonisation of refugees or 'economic migrants'. Bomb their countries to smithereens, unleash terrorism on them, then demonise them when they try and flee the hell we've created.
The old biddies who sit in GPs' surgeries complaining about immigration, before they're seen by Dr Shah or Dr Patel. The hatred towards Polish workers for the crime of their doing an excellent job. The clueless idiots who refuse to vote for investment, then blame immigrants.
The racist newspapers, notorious all over the world for their never-ending racism. The Mail. The Express. The Sun. The Telegraph. All of which trade in and profit from hatred of 'the other'. Whose racism played a huge part in the country committing economic self-harm.
The government's disgraceful, absurd minimum income levels for anyone to be allowed to join their families in the UK. Its despicable treatment of non-EU students (and after January 31, non-UK students) practically as criminals for the crime of their having a different nationality
Sending 18-year-old Afghans back to their deaths, to a country they don't even know, where they face extreme hostility, kidnapping, rape and murder.
Taking in scandalously few Syrian refugees, and likely sending them back when they turn 18 too.

Deporting Nigerian girls into sex slavery. The traffickers are waiting for them the moment they arrive; their families disown them when they're deported. And that's not unique to the UK by the way: the entire EU does it. And I've not even mentioned the US.
Slaughtering Yemeni kids every single day... and profiting from it. Because they're brown people - and who cares about them eh?
Propping up murderous regimes across the Middle East so we can have their oil. Can't have them using it to help their poor peoples. That would never do

Using unmanned drones to slaughter all sorts of people: some terrorists, many total innocents. War is a computer game, right? And if the families of those innocents we slaughter feel any anger towards us... well, that makes them vile terrorists too. 'The problem is Islam'. Right?
Racism is everywhere. Racist attitudes are everywhere. Racist policies are everywhere. Those racist policies KILL... and the problem is with people who point out how racist we are?
Fuck off. Really. Absolutely fucking disgusting.
