Re: Critical Race Theory

This is why believing this nonsense is the preserve of wealthy middle-class white people, and treated with the contempt it deserves by working-class white people. Yeah the people that spout this nonesense, I've got to wonder if they've ever been to a 3rd world country. I'd go as far as White, Latin...

And actions from guys like these seem rather standard for the US. US is very much a gun culture. So I think any legal attempts to curb ow...

Re: Critical Race Theory

This was actually done by the Office for National Statistics in the UK . I had a glance. I was looking for some type of adjustment that accounts for all external variables along with ethnicity all at once.
