Maybe people should be asking the (not so obvious or important) question -

Why did he not see any white faces if the place is nicely integrated?

Were they hiding?

If he did he'd keep quiet. Ruin his story and ambitions. Colour of face is meaningless these days, and makes lazy assumptions

Perhaps his blinkers restricted his viewing… ;)

He’s a politician - don't you normally doubt their every utterance?

I think basically it's where they put them (immigrants). Where I live there's a known area called 'Little India'. You don't feel safe or welcome in that area as well as other grouped areas. What they need to do is segregate more so and not house immigrants in one specific area.

By saying that I suppose I'm now a racist.

Around here you mostly only see only white people, the "foreigners " are mostly white eastern Europeans who run shops lots of shops

Now if he is lying about not seeing another white person, then call him out for lying but you cannot call him out as racist if it would be fine if he wasn't white!

Funny thing is, the word racist has lost its meaning, you look at someone who isn't white, you're a racist, you say hello to someone you're a racist.

To many people use the word Racist for things that are not and people need to get thicker skin and stop beign so sensitive!

I think there are places like that now throughout the whole country and it's getting worse.

There is a block where I live, whose daughter has been gropped twice by Asylum Seekers, both times they have been reported to the police, both times the police said "No evidence" despite her having bruises on her arm from where she was grabbed and her school shirt ripped, no suprise the shop's CCTV footage was not available.

The people that did it live in a HMO and the council have just approved another 2 HMO's on the same street despite 50+ objections from the residents of the street.

I won't go to London, I refuse because it is not safe anymore.

Regardless of any projection.

If he didn’t see another “white face”, And to be fair the chances are he didn’t.


Why is stating that racist?

Why is he making skin colour an issue? It means nothing.. I've been to Birmingham, there are white people.
Granted he's only made such a statement to further his own ambitions and get himself in the headlines. He could possibly not be racist, but has to pretend to be so, to get votes? Makes him even more repulsive. It's a sad twisted country.

They all want to speak freely but forget they are really in the closet. I bet it washes, why they are in the closet, but it rarely does. Thick!

No, it means lots of things, in fact contrary to MLK, according to modern commentators it means more than the content of your character….. . They would say you skin colour defines who you are …(they’re wrong, but they been allowed to propagate it)

Well done, you’ve been North of Watford, a bet you got a nose bleed. Yes there are white people……I mean that very statement says it all……yes there are white people. (Btw why are you making skin colour an issue?)

It's mainly about integration. Bundling the same types together isn't working and causing an issue. That's my take on it.

Some context…

https://www.theguardian.com/politics...mingham-claims

Quote:

In the remarks in March, Jenrick was recorded as saying: “I went to Handsworth in Birmingham the other day to do a video on litter and it was absolutely appalling. It’s as close as I’ve come to a slum in this country. But the other thing I noticed there was that it was one of the worst integrated places I’ve ever been to. In fact, in the hour and a half I was filming news there I didn’t see another white face...

… Jenrick’s comments about Handsworth related to a video about litter and fly-tipping that he recorded for GB News. In the footage, he talks about being in Handsworth but is actually pictured walking down a street in nearby Aston. There are no interviews with any local people. A clip of flytipping in Aston put on Facebook by a Liberal Democrat councillor, Mumtaz Hussain, is also shown. Jenrick later went to interview residents in the Conservative area of Sutton Coldfield about flytipping.

So why pick on Jenrick?
