Tin Of Black Worms

See:

Now let's make one thing clear; I'm the least racist person you'll ever know. I'm English born/Chinese-English bred. I'm (generally) moral, and always very fair. And this isn't fair.

Let me just clarify the entrance conditions for this . Well, you've got to be attractive, British and black.

Reminds me of the Nuremberg Laws a bit. Ironic, how the game has flipped 180 degrees in 60 years. Now I'm sorry, but it still amazes me how people can get away with this today. 99% of members from both sides of the ethnic palying field want more integration, but this merely promotes segregation! If somebody decided to hold a Miss White Britain contest, there would be utter uproar, no question about it. If, hypothetically, we were living under some sort of apartheid then I could, maybe, understand it - but we don't!
Some people argue that the pageant was designed to help promote black role models for today's youth. But why is it adamantly necessary that black youths need black role models? Surely this further instigates racism and segregation?

Another related event is the MOBO awards (Music Of Black Origin) which apparently is meant to celebrate artistes of all ethnic backgrounds playing music which originated in Africa. So surely it should then be retitled a fairer 'Music Influenced By Persons Of African Or Afro-Caribbean Origin,' or MIBPOAOAO awards for short.

It's crazy. 'The white man' has apologised for slavery laws, actively promoted ethnic integration and immigration, yet some minorities just can't see the bigger picture and continue to do their own thing.

I think I should hold a Mr & Miss half-English-half-Chinese Britain competition, so that I can find a role model.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves... why don't we start with a simple Miss White Britain and see how far we get with that. Too many writers try to skirt around this issue for fear of landing in court on grounds of unfair discrimination. Let it out I say!
