Well, then you seem to be intent on shinning a light on something that you can’t see on here.

Do you spend your down time from here looking for black cats, in dark rooms, that aren’t there?

I am going to keep improving your day.

“In fact tacit support or even insincere condemnation….”

Nobody on this site has done that either. You can relax.

Ahh I see, let me save you sometime “Those who continue to support Israel's genocide of the Palestinians…”

Nobody on this site has expressed support for that. You can relax.

I love all of them.

“With threads like this GB, your pseudo-compassion for the real victims in Palestine is blatantly clear……Sickening”

“I don’t dislike GB, I don’t know him”

Well, you seem to assume quite a lot about someone you don’t know.

Now, you talk a good game about shinning a light, but, you still haven’t bothered to start your own thread on this important bigger picture topic you seem to want to discuss.

So, it’s a pretty dim light really, you should put a bit of real effort in and start your own thread, in my opinion of course.

There is genocide going on and all you do is pop into threads every so often to make some criticism of the OP and/or GB.

I certainly wouldn’t invest my energy in someone that has pseudo-compassion for the real victims in Palestine, and just uses that conflict to have a pop at other posters.

See, what you do is, research, assemble data, consider the data, construct evidence, come to some conclusions and opinions derived from the data and evidence.

You made an assertion. It is on you to provide the evidence that informed your opinion.
A bit like you tried earlier, but, but that seemed to go wrong.

But maybe I was just taught badly by the British Educational Establishment about how to have informed opinions.

What is particularly interesting, an educated person may view this style of comment made earlier…

“ I'm not going to be too cruel to you …….because you are probably just another working class white boy who has been failed by the British educational system.”

…as one that is attempting to slightly condescend or demean someone from the demographic he is trying to advocate for, or at least the “just another….” seems phrased in the same way as a put down or an insult would be, best case trying to feel sorry for.

It’s almost like the poster isn’t focused on being for something rather than against something.

It’s like me and vegans, if I am an advocate for vegans and animal rights, why would I use the fact that some is a vegan in the way “working class white boy” was used above.….hmmmm…..curious.

This great stuff, good learning for an assumed white working class boy that went through the British Education system.

The request for evidence

“Perhaps I've missed it, but have you given examples of the racism faced by you and other white men on a daily basis?”

Response

Deflection:

“Do you think racism only counts on a daily basis?”

Strawman:
“It seems like people refuse to admit to a very basis concept of it being possible to be racist against white people.”

Repeated Assertion with no evidence:
“I am concerned about the trend of being racially abusive to white people.”

Followed by no evidence apart from a couple of personal anecdotes.

And you provided no evidence that the educational performance was based on race.

I’ll take you back your original premise

“ Racism against white people is more problematic on many levels. It seems socially acceptable to say racist things against white people. Our education system discriminates against white working class boys.”

As an assumed “…working class white boy who has been failed by the British educational system.”
I sometimes need to go back and check the definition of words.

definition
against /ə-gĕnst′/
preposition
In a direction or course opposite to.
So as to come into forcible contact with.
In contact with so as to rest or press on.


A perfectly valid response to the question you were asked earlier, which you also lost track of and didn’t represent accurately, would have been.

Oh sorry I seem to have used the wrong terms for what I am trying to explain, I didn’t mean discrimination against, I meant something else.

You tell a person they are funny, and they think it’s an insult.

“ Our education system discriminates against white working class boys. ”

“ I'm not saying that white working class boys are being targeted…”

“ It can be tough to keep track of the various responses and who said what.”

Clearly.

You are funny. Be as cruel as you like.

You stated

“ Racism against white people is more problematic on many levels. It seems socially acceptable to say racist things against white people. Our education system discriminates against white working class boys. ”

The question then asked of you wasn’t “…evidence for poor performance..”

it was ..

”I was also interested in the statement regarding racism towards white people, particularly how our education system discriminates against white working class boys.”


And in the evidence you provided it stated..

“ I think he might be right. I suspect the focus on white working class boys is misguided and we should instead focus on socio-economic deprivation – and thus social class – as well as gender, and not concern ourselves too much with ethnicity as a cause of disadvantage.”

So no evidence that the poor performance of white working class boys, was down to them being white and being discriminated against by the educational system.

What’s wrong with being a smarty pants, since when did being smart and clever be something to that was bad.

This educational system you seem to want to reform, will one of its aims be to help people become smart and clever?

That’s the sort of thing that someone worried about educational attainment of boys from deprived economic areas would very annoyed with the Tories about.

From the paper you posted

“ I think he might be right. I suspect the focus on white working class boys is misguided and we should instead focus on socio-economic deprivation – and thus social class – as well as gender, and not concern ourselves too much with ethnicity as a cause of disadvantage.”

What you posted

“We also have to push back against the institutional bias against white people in our overcorrected system.”

I know you don’t like clever things being mentioned.

But…ummmm…..the example you cited, is saying the opposite of what you concluded…..ummm…you see the problem…..it’s almost like you have a fully formed opinion, and are scrambling for something to back it up, but….you missed.
