Boris Johnson’s new team has been labelled a “cabinet for modern Britain” – a euphemism for non-white, with figures such as Priti Patel, Sajid Javid, James Cleverly and Alok Sharma appointed, and Munira Mirza made head of the No 10 policy unit. While all this diversity may well make cabinet look more representative of the UK population, it should not divert attention from the serious issues of racism within the party and with Johnson himself.
Most irresponsible article I have ever seen. ‘We demand diversity’ on to ‘We demand diversity that is approved by us’ Some if my friends are straight POC I wonder if they meet your criteria for ‘friends of gay person’ Offensive 🌈
They make me think to Asian American involved in Trump administration.
Might I refer to the fact that you cannot change history. Do you have anything relevant or controversial to comment on?
‘Don’t be fooled by Johnson’s ‘diverse’ cabinet’ We can only imagine the Guardian view on immigration if it were commonly suspected that migrants were ‘coming over here’ to vote Tory.
Versus the shameless antiSemites rooted in Labor...
Ha Ha Ha! Try to spin negative stuff. People are bored with such crap. Get positive and let’s move forward
There is simply no hope anymore for the Guardian. They can’t acknowledge any positivity now. Just sniping ridiculous statements. It is totally pathetic.
I think its naïve to brush a whole party as racist. And if this is what racism looks like in the 21st Century...guess what I'll take it! We live in a system of white supremacy which has existed since the 16th century. PM Boris has two pivotal appointments to change that today.
Priti unofficial Israeli puppet
We have the most diverse cabinet in the history of this country, and rather than celebrate, the left are criticising this achievement. The left are so bitter and filled with hatred they cannot see their own racism. 🙄🙄🙄
Don’t be fooled by the nonexistent objectivity of the guardian. You remain labour’s mouthpiece.
kehinde_andrews Unironically pointing out the use of POC's in positions of power to further an ideological agenda all the while he's a POC put into a position of power to further a political agenda Self awareness must not be part of the syllabus on your black studies modules
Mankind will never meet the definition of perfection to a Tee simply because the word is reserved to define a supreme being whom we mortals called the creator & ruler of the universe. Nevertheless, it is very important that we mere mortals don't dismiss tolerance from our hearts!
If Boris appointed a totally non white cabinet you would still cry racism it’s very boring give him a chance.
The things Priti Patel said about Ireland shows me she's a racist & a horrible person.
Don’t be fooled by labours anti Semitic position either. This is purely political posturing by the guardian. I have always voted labour but until Corbyn has gone I’m afraid no more
Yawns ...the old race card
Xoxo need a hug, hun? 🙄
Morning welcome to the Guardian 💤
I missed TheresaMay
Vote of Confidence. Now.
She will lead the fight against immigrants despite coming from Uganda with her parents to live here in the 1960s. People with self interest agendas like her will ignore any principle for self advancement. Human nature degraded and corrupted by self interest.
Two of the four great offices of state are held by people with the surnames Patel and Javid. Yet The Guardian clings like a child to the security blanket of being able to hurl racist and sexist at the PM. Evidence-based reality trumps their dogmatic simplistic la-la-land logic.
Thank god, if the Guardian didn’t smear this this government as being wayycist *then* I would be worried.
I bet the 'Black Studies' course has done far more harm to some of our best and brightest minority students by saddling them with debt for a degree that gives no additional opportunities and in fact would put a lot of employers off than anything the Tories have done. JustSaying
All the lolz, as predictable as it is pathetic.
racism is a surface word... the root for hate (jlpTaugh'me JLPtalk ) is Selfishness Self-Centeredness. this article is made to encourage hate and violence like what happened 2 MrAndyNgo neverAgain! theHonestLiberal will not stand with racism... EVER … PERIOD...oh yea, nigga
Losers of the left who think ethnic minorities 'belong' to them. Which in itself is oh, I think the term is... Racism.
PurgaTORY
Great choice I wish her well.
Can anyone give any examples of Tory racism?
What a pathetic argument
