Racism has declined?

N "However, racism has declined from past levels and the United Kingdom is considered to be a multicultural society."

Racism is ubiquitous and complex taking many forms. It is therefore not scientifically quantifiable to enable you to assert a level and subsequently monitor fluctuations as your statement "racism has declined" suggests. Whilst I would agree with the second half of this sentence it should ideally be a separate sentence. Otherwise it implies either that a multicultural society means a "less racist" society or that as a result of "less racism" the society has become more multicultural, both of which are false assumptions.--ChessMaster2011 (talk) 08:08, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete article?

This whole article is not encyclopedic and is politically motivated and not neutral. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ericg33 (talk • contribs) 20:45, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Riots in the late 70's?

An edit was made here by an editor that's been making a lot of edits on the assumption that the "70s" ended at the end of 1980 and the "80s" started at the start of 1981. This is false. See: 1980s. This particular edit is hard to call, though, since they could be a) thinking of a riot that occurred in 1979 or b) continuing the same editing pattern. Did any notable riots occur before 1980?

Wales

Why is there no section on Wales - when the intro to the article clearly states three incidents of racially-related riots linked to welsh places. If Wales is counted under England then this article itself, seems to me, to be promoting a racist agends.

Cornwall

Peter Tatchell's recent comments concerning the Cornish should be added. Maybe a section on Cornwall is called for, the Cornish are a large minority group in the uk, and still recieve a lot of discrimination both from government and public. Bodrugan (talk) 16:19, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, indeed they do. I myself am president of my local branch of "I hate the Cornish society", designed to discriminate against the very real Cornish ethnic group. Poor souls they are. 220.253.92.19 (talk) 15:49, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

race riots are uncommon

Define "uncommon" riots in general are uncommon. I think this is understating the amount of riots. Does any1 agree with me? if not, prove me wrong. I deleted that bit No autoaim (talk) 18:47, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Image

Can someone please explain to me how the image on this article is racist? I think I may be missing something. -- Jack?! 03:16, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I removed it for now as I thought it over and I still struggle to see how it depicts racism. Please feel free to re-add it if I have made a grave mistake. -- Jack?! 06:07, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The image now is of a Republican parade, arguably racist in itself. The information in the Scotland section on Pakistanis voting SNP is irrelevant, and unsourced. And I would also take issue with the insinuation that people married to English partners are not 'Scots'. Hachimanchu (talk) 22:08, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
