China News Service, July 15th. According to Hong Kong's "Wen Wei Po", three African-American players of the British team in the European Cup final were racially abused after missing a penalty. British Prime Minister Johnson and other officials successively condemned.
However, in view of the "previous convictions" of officials that condone discriminatory behaviors of fans, their statements have been accused of "hypocrisy."
A British think tank even plans to submit a report to the United Nations, pointing out that there is "systematic racial discrimination" there.
More and more opinions in the United Kingdom will lead to blame for black players being insulted, directed at Johnson government officials.
Many people criticized that during the European Cup, the England team repeatedly protested against racial discrimination by kneeling down before the game. The result was booed by the fans. Johnson has always refused to publicly condemn the actions of these fans. Home Secretary Patel In turn, criticizing the players for "possessing a posture" is equivalent to encouraging racial discrimination in disguise.
Johnson and Patel successively issued statements after the finals condemning the racial discrimination against the three black players. Many people believed that the two were "hypocritical". England defender Tylemmings criticized Patel: "You did not No matter what, until something we oppose happens, we pretend to condemn it."
Reiner, the deputy leader of the Opposition Labor Party, also described Johnson and Patel as "arsonists complaining about the fires they instigated", and they are completely "hypocrites."
The British racial equality think tank Runnymede has collaborated with more than 100 civil organizations and non-profit organizations to write a detailed report on the issue of racial discrimination in the UK.
The report pointed out that although the various bills that the British government plans to submit all claim to address racial discrimination and social inequality, they may in turn threaten the rights and interests of minorities such as African Americans.
The report uses the "Election Integrity Act" to be submitted to the House of Commons as an example. This bill requires voters to produce identification documents before voting. However, only 38% and 45% of Asians and Africans in the UK have a driving license that can be used for identification. , Far less than 75% of whites, believe that once the bill is passed, it will exacerbate the marginalization of minorities.
As for the other passed "Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Law", which gives law enforcement officers additional powers to intercept and search, it also damages the interests of ethnic minorities who are more likely to be targeted by police officers.
The report also pointed out that the racial equality survey published in April by a committee of the British government concluded that "there is no systematic and institutional racial discrimination" in the UK, and that the survey ignored the facts.
