Re: Phrase 'British values' deemed offensive teachers told.
You keep bringing up non internet examples while I'm talking about the internet and the way some people expect it to change to suit them but to take your examples if a black person was racially abused in a shop and there were other shops of course go to those other shops why would you want to spend any of your money in that kind of place. As for the gay bar example same applies although in my limited experience gay people tend to have their own bars to go to and how anyone would know someone was gay unless they made it an issue in the first place is beyond me.
We get people all the time bemoaning the nanny state and the entitled expectations some have and then flip the coin we have people who want the state involved in every single aspect of their life protecting and safeguarding them why again is beyond me. As for your education part there have been plenty of attempts at it the problem was that most of those looking to educate the ignorant were themselves ignorant of the type of people they were dealing with and ended up coming across as snooty people looking down their nose at others.
We will never eradicate the negative ism's because there are people too lazy to learn and too unpleasant to care so we either avoid them or learn to not let them get to us what we don't do is give them any attention at all because they view any attention as a win.
