Racism = Bullying

Alex Constantine - July 6, 2010

Bullying and racism
including racial harassment and racial discrimination

bullying1 03 01 03 - Racism = BullyingThe UK Parliament passed the Race Relations Act in 1976 but nearly a quarter of a century on, racism in the UK is still prevalent. Following the Stephen Lawrence inquiry, attitudes within London's Metropolitan Police have been described as "institutionalised racism".

A recent report Equality and Fairness in the Fire Service by Graham Meldrum, the service's chief inspector, highlighted the institutionalised nature of racism and sexism within the UK Fire Service. Criticising the leadership style and culture within the fire service, the in-depth review of equality and fairness was prompted by the serious under-representation of women and ethnic minorities. There was also widespread evidence of sexism and homophobia.

In October 1999, racism and bullying were in the news again as Ford Motor Company workers at Dagenham, England, were threatening strike action amidst growing claims of racially-motivated bullying and harassment which the workforce and unions allege were not being dealt with by Ford management. US Ford Motor Company chief executive Jacques Nasser flew in to answer union criticisms of institutionalised racism. In September 2000, Ford Motor Company UK recruited Surinder Sharma, former head of equality and diversity at Littlewoods Home Shopping Group and a regular speaker at conferences on the progress Littlewoods have made with their anti-bullying policy, as Ford's European diversity director. Ford also recruited former TUC equal rights policy officer Kamaljeet Jandu as Ford UK national diversity manager.

  1. I applaud you for posting this. Have you ever heard of a group who call themselves “Anonymous”?

    I’m not a Scientologist (I’m an Atheist) but it wouldn’t matter if I were.

    If you look at my ip you’ll find it to be a proxy. I no longer post much of anything about who I am, what I believe, my pets name, my address, phone number etc…

    There are a few somewhat large groups of people who will try to cancel your credit card. Remove your outgoing mail from your mail box, try to get you fired, etc…

    What it boils down to is if there’s something they don’t like about you, say something you said, or they don’t like the way that you look etc… they will attack you.

    It’s as simple as that. You can be gay, fat, or an outspoken woman… doesn’t matter they hate you for no *#)()# reason at all.

  2. “Racism = Bullying” So true. =(

    @idrathernotsay: I’m sorry if you’ve had to go thru that. I haven’t quite suffered that badly, but I have been labelled as a ‘Zionist’, a ‘race traitor’, a ‘Jew lover’, etc. for simply pointing certain facts such as Criticism of Israel =/={does NOT equal} the right to be anti-Semitic, etc.
