I first noticed it on bbc regional news, the one that was on around 6pmish. Every time they visited a school i played a game called Spot the white person. I rarely won. It didn't bother me really but it did confuse me at the time as I was familiar with some of the schools visited and I knew that there was a much larger number of white than black/brown kids. I didn't lose any sleep over it though. I remember at primary school, in the 80s, the class being asked what the percentage of non white people in the uk is. Most of the guesses were around 30-40% even though there were hardly any non white kids in that school at the time. When were all surprised when we told it was less than 10%. (at that time).

Your guesses would be much closer today, with over 22% of the population being non white. In some cities that figure will be much higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it gets a bit confused as there is ‘white British’ and ‘white Other’ which sometimes get separated out in statistics as well as non white people often having higher populations concentrated in certain areas.

PRESLEY Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 BBC need to get their priorities right when it comes to News items, on the Six o clock news last night I couldn't believe what the first news item was, flippin Vardy and Looney Rooney's cat fight and the third item was the nine year old little girl who was stabbed in Boston Lincoln, shame on the BBC. I also couldn't believe that they put a Kids film, Tomorrow Land on at 11.40pm are they crackers or what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had enough when Alex Scott did a documentary investigating why the England Women's team is primarily white and then cheapening their win against Norway by questioning the lack of diversity. Wonder if the same will be said tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree, Honestly Hacks, it makes my blood boil, these two fame seeking, attention seeking tarts are not even news worthy and are been sensationalised by the silly beeb. So this tells me, the person in charge of this set up thinks them two Wags are more important than a little lass been stabbed, I can't write anymore on this, Hacks, Gutted.
