THAT wrong
Omg, not only do the 'horses' at Garavi Gujarat Publications Ltd do the Leadership and Diversity Awards, they also do the Asian Business Awards which "recognises the contribution of Asian businesses to Britain's wealth". Presumably, that discriminates against, say, Italian Pizza Houses too. This is worse than we thought. 
LMAO!!!!!!

I'm not sure as it's got a bit weird. Who are the hand-wringers? The people saying the awards are fine in principle or the people complaining about them because the awards are racist?

if your joints arent sticking properly-have you tried using the silver rizla-they do the job apparently

Can any minority speak for any minority? Or can only Gujarati minorities speak for Gujarati minorities but not Chinese ones? If I'm gay can I speak for disabled minorities? Can Garavi Gujarat Publications Ltd speak for all minorities by promoting the awards? Or are they a minority who have overstepped the mark? Or is it only the majority who can't speak for minorities because they're the majority. Do we have to worry about one particular person in a minority getting upset by people of other minorities speaking for or about minorities that don't include that person? Can anyone help please?

It's OK, I'm not a Brit either. If the people taking part felt wrong and out of place it would surely die a death. We're not talking about the elite, just people who have achieved something and why should they not be reckognised. I'm sure this originally started because somebody felt that a minority was not acknowledged (remember all those years of positive descrimination) and it's carried on. I can't see any reason why not. Diversity is what drives us on. 10 years ago we'd all have welcomed it, why not now?
It's all gone a bit crap now.

No need to patronise. It was a perfectly good example to show how silly this perceived slight is. Some might think it's racist to have an evening of celebrating something and others don't. IMHO ist's better to live in a society where that can actually happen instead of one where it can't.
So you'd rather live in a society where racist things are allowed? I see *grabs notebook and licks pencil*
quote:Originally posted by sweet_tooth:quote:But how loud would people shout if white people were to have separate organisations and award ceremonies completely barred to black people? Its racism. Sorry I fail to understand how anyone can see it differently.
Thats what theyve been having for years. Just that tokens were allowed to sit down, would never win an award though.
Dont apologise for "failing to understand"- you see things differently thats all
But isn't this where I say "two wrongs don't make a right" ?
Hold on, the script has messed up. Shouldn't there be some PMs flying around. Abject apologies and beer blamed. A backpedal. Some hug smileys. And a sob story about some triggering event offline? That's what usually happens.
