If that was the case then surely that would be a case of racism.

Don't be silly, there are cases of all the TV characters being white.

Black people make up 3% of the British population therefor in an equal fair society you would expect black people to make up 3% of TV.

You mean practise positive discrimination to ensure the 'employees' represent an equal proportion of the population?

Same with football why are they choosing so many black players over other ethnicities? if sides were chosen equally from society then there would be one black player in every three teams.

Maybe there are more role models to emulate?
Maybe football is easy to enter as a profession for under-achieving sportspeople, to achieve over-payment?

I don't know, may be black people read the news better, act better, advertise better, make better footballers and sports people. But that thought would be racist

Yes, it would be associating people's characteristics and potential purely on their ethnicity.
I believe you are getting it.

as we are all entirely equal at everything.

Don't be silly. You're far better at being silly than I am.

Fair comment.

IRONY OVERLOAD...from the German hating filly.

Obviously notwithstanding the fact that the bastards bombed my mums house. Or should I simply forget that, just like black people and their virtue signalling fans forget about slavery.

"according to the 2011 Census, the total population of England and Wales was 56.1 million, and 86.0% of the population was White"

Bombing of civilians was not prohibited during WW2.
UK first started bombing civilians in Berlin in August 1940.
Germany responded by bombing civilians in cities in September 1940.

UK lost about 60,000 civilians to such bombing. Germany lost about 500,000 to the same tactics.

Various expert witnesses appeared for the defence

Slavery was not prohibited either, what's your point?

Indeed, they didn't bomb my mums house after that.

My point is that UK started bombing German civilians.
And UK bombs killed about 10 times more civilians.
But as usual you concentrate on the facts that suit your narrative.

It would be a bit pointless to bomb a previously bombed house.
The idea behind bombing civilians is to terrorise. Actual destruction of infrastructure or death of civilians is of secondary consideration.

yes that is why I specifically mentioned black - for instance the Chinese community are half as numerous as the black population, but you rarely see people of Chinese heritage on tv, sport, media, arts, advertising. Surely if society is going to be fair to all ethnicities then broadly speaking we should see similar demographics to the general population. We don't, everything seems heavily biased towards one ethnicity

Them Egyptians were into slavery

and thousands of people pay and turn up to look at the mummified bodies and relics commemorating
These people
