>"The “paucity” of UK children’s books featuring an ethnically diverse lineup of characters is set to be laid bare by two Arts Council England-backed studies into representation in children’s literature."
>"ACE [Arts Council England] director for literature Sarah Crown put it on Wednesday, there is a “paucity of high-quality books for children and young adults by and about people from all walks of life”."
>"“BookTrust director of children’s books Jill Coleman was clear that “representation in children’s books is important for all children”. “A lack of diversity impacts on how young readers see themselves and the world around them, on their motivation to read, and on their aspirations to become the writers and illustrators of the future. We hope this research will give us an accurate picture of the present situation, help us to support and encourage a diverse range of talent and, ultimately, to encourage more children to develop a lifelong love of reading,” she said."
Do you agree with fellow white people Sarah Crown and Jill Coleman that British books need to start focusing on kids who aren't White British?

Yes /pol/, it would be nice if people of colour in children's books in the UK reflected the people who read them.

It makes sense if you adopt these maxims:
>equal representation of ethnicities >these ethnicities being crude/vague/abstracted collections of many diverse subgroups >even after doing this, if the majority group slice takes up most of the pie you should bump up the ratio of the rest so they're visible at all lel You could challenge this at each step but political partisans will just screech about "fucking leftists" instead.
The fundamental oddity is that it thinks those crude ethnic groups are a good example of different walks of life. It's ironic because that is a pretty racist interpretation (that race is an important enough factor for what they want to represent). But it's quite easy to see why anti-racism is itself dependant on racism.

No you couldn't, because the kikes rolling this stuff out don't in the least care about logic and consistency, its all about their mandate of undermining White Christian identity.

Holy fuck when will this nonsense end?

Let kids read what they want, I doubt they give a shit about the racial identity of characters for god's sake.
Jose Hall
>But it's quite easy to see why anti-racism is itself dependant on racism. In case anyone wants this in plainish terms. You can find Baudrillard exploring co-dependancy in power-relationships of all kinds (e.g. the police to crime, preservationists to nature, etc) in his middle period books. I think his most famous book concerns it too.

A racial discrimination note seems immensely harsh but I suppose who cares, just take the field trip. Parents tend to pack a special lunch if they love their kid enough and the kids dig having a day outside of the classroom, it kinda is fun. I remember a trip to a mosque and a synagogue when I was a kid (about 10 years old or something) because we didn't have either in my small seaside town. It was for the religious education subject which kids have to take so it made sense. Don't see why this image is meant to create outrage. The far-right like to complain about how sensitive the far-left is but when I see shit like this and is what pisses off the far-right then I think you guys need to take a long look in the mirror.
Aiden Roberts
And here we come to it, old Barb, /pol/'s favorite piece of propaganda. You know its funny, because I went read what Spectre said in context, and guess what? She's talking about how not integrating Muslim immigrants is responsible for rising anti-semitism in Europe. And she goes onto say by multi-culturalism, she means integrating them into European culture. And when she say "the Jews will be resented", do you think, she means by whites? Ha ha no, she's talking about being resented by Muslims for trying to instill European values in them.
Funny what you can learn by reading.

Because people don't need to have a conscious plot to be behaving as if they do. Religion and ethnic identity is deeply buried in our subconsciousness and its foolish to think we are enlightened past it. As Marx himself said, they don't know what they are doing and yet they are doing it

Lucas Collins
>she goes onto say by multi-culturalism, she means integrating them into European culture How successfull were all attempts of this? Almost all muslims living in France perfectly speak French, yet they still don't work, are criminals and teach radical Islamic views in their mosques. White people are rolling backwards for muslims to finally integrate, to finally learn the language and become somewhat useful members of society. How well do you think are muslims behaving in the UK, Sweden, Germany, France, etc.?

Jeremiah Thompson
>You're just making it up Are you fucking retarded? Every German social study has proven that muslim immigrants are the worst in school and didn't integrate over three fucking generations. I've studied in Berlin and even among my students (the more intelligent part of muslims) there were many muslim women wearing burkas and muslim men unable to speak without a thicc accent.
Charles Scott
Most muslims in Europe live in Europe because they know how fucked their countries are and they're trying to escape it. The ones who want Sharia law and encourage extremism are usually disowned by islamic communities for being cunts. Visit your local mosque and introduce yourself, muslims are very accommodating people. Please don't spread false information to misinform people.
Adrian Kelly
>unlike you. You're talking about another poster I guess, I literally have never left Europe.
Beurettes are kind of famous in France, and immigrants in Sweden don't follow the pious muslim meme. Secularisation, alcohol and sex won.
Ian Morales
My point is how sensitive people like you are over children taking a field trip to a mosque. It doesn't matter, it's part of the curriculum because most kids learn about christianity, judaism, islam and sikhism while in school in the UK. It's not some immense corrupt conspiracy to flood the country with people you don't like. Get over yourself.
John Barnes
>Every German social study
OK, can you show me one?
>there were many muslim women wearing burkas and muslim men unable to speak without a thicc accent.
So fucking what, they might be new immigrants, you don't know that. And wearing a burka or having an accent isn't the crime of century.

Okay and how do you explain that over a thousand muslim refugees simultaneously raped/groped white women when they all are so peaceful and secular?

Its a slippery slope, sweetheart. If you told people a few decades ago that one day London would no longer be majority white British, or that Birmingham would be predicted to lose its white majority, that fewer than a third of Birmingham schoolchildren are white, that white Brits would end up a minority in Leicester, Luton and Slough then they would have been outraged and wouldn't have even believed you. Yet here we are. It starts with mosque visits, but it will end very differently you smug bastard. >Get over yourself Enough with the canned Veeky Forums catchphrases, they're meaningless.

Nothing conspiritorial about it, they have average IQ's 15 points higher than native Europeans so naturally are over-represented in highest levels of society They are also anti-Nationalist(outside of Israel) just as you would be anti-Nationalism if you lived in Japan or an African nation. Their interests simply don't align with native-Europeans

Because your heavenly experience in the mosque doesn't undo the negative experiences of others.

Don't use anecdotes if you don't want other people to then.
Now you're just strawmanning. You don't having a simgle shred of evidence to "prove" how much "harm" muslim immigration is doing. Muslims don't even make up that many immigrants anymore. According to ONS statics only 30% of immigrants in 2017 were "Asian", and that includes East Asians as well.
>>When you have to import white people to keep your capital's ethnic majority
Yeah, they do. Why? Because white British people would rather live in upper working or middle class suburbs. I don't know if you know this, but where all those "non-white British" people are living are low quality housing and have been since the 19th century. So blame the white British people moving to Essex and shit, not the people moving in to replace them.
