Ethnicity analysis hides under the rug socio-economic categories. (What was the social origin of Chinese immigrants in Asia compared to Bangladeshis ?) And a public authority that talks the language of ethnicity only reinforces the BNP's vision of a racially divided world. Un roi sans divertissement est un homme plein de misères
But racism IS a massive problem and the BNP doesn't just win support because it is highlighting issues that effect working class people but it wins support by directing hatred at BME groups and using them as a scapegoat for all the problems that their target working class white group say they experience.
Nick Griffin the BNP leader isn't a working class boy, any more than most other politicians. He is a racist (not to mention holocaust denier) and will use whatever he can to propagate those views. It is racism in it's purest form that is the reason for there needing to be 'the language of ethnicity' in use otherwise racism itself becomes invisible. Ad astra per aspera
ROTFLMAO
You obviously don't think so, but who in the world can possibly hold that view? The UK is the country I've lived in where class is most painfully obvious.
