Btw if their research is correct- employers (people) have agendas, surely academics (people) have agendas too?

That’s an “interesting” view, I’ll give you that. Just send me some evidence that confirms that employment discrimination is now a non-issue in the UK. Anything?

Isn't asking for proof of the non existence of something a logical flaw?

So, we can all accept that discrimination in the UK is a significant issue. Great, let’s move on.

We certainly can. Several years ago I went through the application process for the Police force, but was rejected because my local constabulary were only recruiting for BAME candidates. How racist.

Really does demonstrate the extent of the issue I’m afraid, and shows how important that it needs to be resolved ASAP (for the benefit of all).

Toby. Hope that you were resilient to the initial rejection and now have an amazing career.

I do now thanks

Someone posted on social media how they would've preferred the Mercedes team to run one Black car and one White car for the season; both working together towards a common goal - the Constructors championship. I thought that was the best idea yet.

But sadly it couldn't happen even if Mercedes pursued it, because Honda tried something similar in the past with different paint for each car and it was not allowed by the FIA(?)

Slim indeed.

I am chalk white, slightly overweight and middle aged. Prime Gammon

Next time when I ask for evidence instead of sending web links, describe the point.

I found it for you. You'd like me to read it for you too? Sorry, I'm afraid I can't understand it for you.

faa77 said:

Glad you got the personal attack in there though, typical leftie tactic when losing the argument. Awesome.

It's terribly ignorant and arrogant to assume that there is a methodological flaw in a paper you haven't even read. I'm only judging you by your word, which is why I was careful to say that it was how you were coming across.

I'm not particularly left wing, by the way - I don't consider basic human decency to be a left/right thing, racism should be detested by everyone.

Is the solid black paint lighter than metallic silver? Might be a weight benefit even if it's only a kg or so. The chrome McLaren paint was heavier back when they had their Vodafone livery cars.

Beautiful, I'd love it even more if it was painted half black and half rainbow. And on both sides it said "Logic? Who gives a F*&K about logic!"

[crankedup]

Can’t recall seeing a black person, not one, in the F1 pit crew, maybe this season will see a racially more balanced crew? Is Lewis still brandishing his ‘keep fighting Michael’ ? What’s popular and trending, jump on bandwagon.

I'm not sure why you singled out black people as missing from diversity, I mostly see whites, so Asian / ME and so on are also not in the mix. Don't be a racist homie.

Now, any logical person would ask this question - is it because F1 teams are purposely blocking non whites from being part of F1?

Or, perhaps, he has a selective memory when advancing his career

But why does it matter to him? He wouldn't be able to do anything or live anywhere if he avoided all connections with all companies and places that have some level or racial discrimination in their history. Britain certainly does..

He's judging those that he sees as creating problems with equality today. There isn't a problem with Daimler Benz's behavior or associations today so there is noting to fix or judge.

I agree.
And yet Lewis is yet to convey how he thinks things could improve in Britain.
Every successful person I know has arrived through merit and hard work, regardless of ethnicity.

I don't know of another country as open and diverse.

Lewis himself is a prime example of that.

You truly are naive, ignorant and a few other things.

Your posts paint a picture; that you’ve never lived in the real world. Maybe one day you’ll get a taste.

Just repeatedly posting that Lewis is neither here nor there re’ Nazi’s - because their car is best - is about the thickest, dumbest, stupidest thing I’ve ever read on Pistonheads. And there’s a mountain to choose from

Ah I see. You managed to miss the bedrock of which BLM is built upon, the injustice of which was abolished almost 200 years ago.
Lewis is yet to comment on the injustice of something his Paymasters were involved with just 80 years ago.

Maybe he just doesn't know ?!

We are all equally entitled to our own views

Just when one thinks it’s reached peak naivety - and the thick meter is already struggling; you take it to another level. Bravo

Thick are those who throw insults when they lack the capacity to accept when others have an opposing point of view.

We used to get patrons at our London pub who would act in this manner, especially at chucking out time. You would have been in your element

I accept you have an opposing point of view. So what’s your point? Accepting the fact that you have an opposing point of view is what led me to label it thick and ignorant. Surely you can distinguish between these two prongs... or are you... dare I say it...

The simple point that Hamilton is highly selective when soap boxing about injustices. No mention of the attrocities of 80 years ago on his paymasters doorstep, and that anti-semitism still hangs today, even at political level.

BTW going on a protest march for equality, with your nanny and bodyguard in tow, doesn't quite cut it

We have opposing views on his conduct away from the track. I accept that

Why should he comment on Daimler's past history, given that Daimler have already accepted it, apologised and made reparations.

He has direct experience of racial discrimination, something he mentioned when interviewed by Brundle recently, so why shouldn't he focus on it?

I’m taking it that you read the bit where they confirmed that the ethnic status of the applicants was included on the CVs?

Delete the question about ethnic origin and the problem would be solved.

[ch37]

Well, nearly 400 posts discussing this, but Hamilton has just left the pit lane and wow does the livery look good on track.

Mercedes have stated they are supporting black lives matter, hence painting their cars predominately black. Such concern hasn’t, to my recollection, seen such support of black lives within their pit crew. Surely a couple of token black skinned crew members would have given such a high profile global team a huge recognition of support.
