    First thing that's true: they would never let a white person present this type of programme

    Squatch has got a massive point though, possibly the elephant in the room, they would never have let a white person head this programme.

    Well, it's not just a stereotype of Jews in Britain. And that doesn't account for the billionaires.

    It is true that Jews are rich and powerful, but hes actually under-estimating the amount of power by not including those of partial jewish heritage

    One fact: you can't mention Jews without also mentioning the alleged holocaust, it gives them absolute immunity from criticism. Another fact: if whites were so privileged the presenter wouldn't be saying "powerful people are nothing to be afraid of" or whatever it was he said.

    Edit: the point I was making in the last sentence is that if whites were as powerful as jews are, it would be considered a huge problem

    Perhaps he hasn't realised that he has already pointed out a major area of racism. Certain groups getting together in certain areas only really supporting other members of their group.

    Jewish people simply are more interested into getting educated and if you have better education, you have better chances to succeed in your profession and make more money. Almost all jewish I know are well read, university educated professionals.

    Terrific analogy and so true!

    It was all the 'institutional racism' that was thrown around like confetti at everyone and everything that made people scared to have any sort of considered view that went against the official norm.

    But when whites are successful it's called white privilege

    Third fact that cannot be mentioned: the "East European" "Romanian" pick pocketing gangs are in fact ethnic Roma gypsies, not indigenous Romanians.

    You'd have to be clearer about what you think he was saying and what you think he's saying now. Something tells me he wouldn't agree with one or either.
