Because there is a small number of BAME in the city its racist.
\\The report into the city of York by the campaign group Inclusive Equal Rights UK (IERUK) and funded by the Labour-run city council using figures from the 2021 Census, revealed just 14 percent of the cities population is of Black Asian and Minorised Ethnicity (BAME). Now the group has pledged to turn the city into the first "anti-racist" city in the North.//

\\igures from the Office for National Statistics have challenged the findings, showing the actual ethnic minority population of York is 7.2 percent.

The report recommended more recruitment for ethnic minority groups, with 6.3 percent of the city council's workforce, 7.5 percent at the University of York and 9.7 percent of the staff York St John University were BAME.//

What a load of old pony.

[ToraToraTora]

I have no BAME people in my street, does that mean my street is racist? The people that come up with this BS have no more brains than they were born with.

[Old_Geezer]

Are cities assigned quotas ? Will non-BAME folk be discriminated against when they look for a residential property ?

"anti-racist" city. Who makes up this guano ?

[Old_Geezer]

Oh Lor' ! I have just realised, I've no BAME types in my family ! Sackcloth & ashes it is then.

[ToraToraTora]

Bleedin ell Geezer ... don't give the sickos more ideas to work with.

Ms Nije said "racism in York is casual, systemic, and structural." Casual and systemic? Haha.
Structural? The Minster will have to come down. It is a flagrant symbol of white supremacy and an affront to the peace loving, big hearted and exciting new incomers who did not want it there in the first place.

When is this utter codswallop going to end?

[Zacs-Master]

Fekkwhits, the lot.

[Oleanda]

I have, in the past, been accused of being racist because I live in a small village where, as far as I know, there are no ethnic minorities.

[Zacs-Master]

I hope you slapped whoever said that. I would. Hard.

@ oleanda

[wolf63]

I live in a city where 96% of people are classed as white. I don't know what labour will say about us.

BAME: Black, Asian, and minority ethnic: used to refer to people in the UK who do not consider themselves to be white. This is no longer used as an official term and many people do not like it because it seems to treat many different people and groups as if they are the same:

This is an entry from the Cambridge Dictionary.

seems like they want to turn britain into a third world country by hook or by crooks! ermm

Do you have a link to the report? The problem with the story in the Express is that it links one element (proportion of BAME residents in York) to the conclusion that York issues with racism. By doing so, the story suggests that this is a causal factor whereas the two facts may have nothing to do with each other.

Understanding the reasoning behind the claims of structural racism would be helpful here.
