Early 21st Century - Covid-19 Paragraph

The paragraph on Covid-19 in the 'Early 21st Century' section routinely conflates BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnics) with black people. Much of the information cited refers to the generalised experience of people from non-white ethnicities during Covid-19 rather than the specific experience of Black British people. This is an article on Black British people, not on BAME people in the UK. Kioj156 (talk) 22:10, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

England (and Wales) versus UK

Kioj156 and EmyRussell, thanks for your recent efforts to update and improve the Social issues section. However, I think we need to make it clearer in the text that many of the statistics and charts relate to either England or England and Wales only, not the whole of the UK. At present, figures for part of the UK are being presented as if they represent all Black British people in the UK, which is often not the case. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:52, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. These stats and charts need clarifying. If not clarified, then removed. Koppite1 (talk) 22:54, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

however not all were Sub-Saharan African.

Someone keeps removing this line from the Elizabethan section. I thought it was important to make a distinction as this is a page for black people. An article by the Guardian says two were North African and not black, so thought it should be shown, as black can't be used interchangeably with Moroccans, etc. Menacinghat (talk) 18:02, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article was about the Mary Rose and was linked as of this week Menacinghat (talk) 18:08, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New image

Hello all, I added an image to this page as part of a short-term paid project to share images of a year of culture that was held in Leeds. There's more on the project here and more images to make use of here. Many thanks Lajmmoore (talk) 10:43, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Racism in article?

Hello, I am not an active editor or participant in talks or editing on this site, but in this article I saw mentions of anti-white genocide and I would like a second opinion on those parts of this article as it seems quite racist and conspiratorial. Night Thrasher (talk) 01:40, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That was indeed inappropriate content. It was added just a few hours ago, and I undid that set of edits. Thanks for reporting it! DMacks (talk) 03:49, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
