Apparently, I live in a country that is “a model for other white-majority countries”.
I don’t.
However, according to a report by the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities just this last fortnight, I do. In 258 pages, it swipes away any thought of the institutionalized racism many minorities see on a daily basis.
It could be argued that I have a cheek. I am a white privileged, middle class man and the author of this weighty report is black.
He is also an educationalist whose views are in line with the UK Government and therefore any thought of this being an “independent” report are a little swayed in favor of the people who may be the backbone of such institutionalized prejudice, so I may have a point in objecting.
