Those tweets tell a lot. The UK is slipping into being a really racist society - one where white people are constantly blamed for the problems of the non-white population. We should level the playing field (possibly a UK expression) if it is not already, and maybe offer some extra tuition for disadvantaged groups, but that has to be an end to it. Adopting goals to get certain numbers of people of a particular skin colour (or sex, or sexuality!) into certain desirable occupations, is most definitely a bad idea, as are the endless efforts (at least on the BBC and The Guardian newspaper) to make non-white people feel they are victims.
Using racial differences for political purposes is frighteningly easy, and very dangerous. We need politicians who stand up to this idiocy.
In the early years of NAZI Germany, there were all sorts of disparaging remarks made against the Jewish population. This constant drip drip of propaganda softened the country up for what was to follow. If when a desirable job is filled by a white person, people wring their hands, "why couldn't we find a suitable non-white applicant?" what are we softening up our countries for in the decades ahead?
