or people are no longer prepared to turn a blind eye to this stuff and more of it is being reported. in which case hurrah.


There could well be a part of this that's an artifact of reporting. I've no idea.

I think it would be hard to deny racism has become heavily normalised in society again too.

Stuff I hear people say out loud in public these days is incredible.

I think that there are issues with unconscious bias training, it's very hard to show any quantifiable benefit but this is as clear an exemplar of unconscious bias as one could see.


A friend of mine is a corporate member at the new Tottenham stadium. She has been told, several times, at the corporate entrance that "this is the Premium area - you need to go to the turnstiles". On getting in, she has twice been warned "Staff must wear a pass at all times - where is yours?".
You will have guessed, she is black.

Subconscious profiling is everywhere. It isn’t just race related appearance, the way you speak, your age etc.


Oh yeah. Did it myself the other day. Got called out to see someone on the ward, did my look-over on the punter, fiddled about with a few things and decided on some recommendations going forward.

Sadly, the smartly dressed Asian lad at the desk that I tried to hand over a lot of technical medical stuff to wasn't the junior doctor, he was the ward clerk. The junior doctor was a young white lass in scrubs that I'd mistaken for a new nursing assistant.

I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.

I suspect you're right - it feels more prevalent now, and that's just online. There could be a reporting artifact to account for some of the increases but it's highly unlikely to account for a doubling in a single year. You'd need to really dig into the background behind the headlines and top level stats to fully understand though.
