Operation Black Vote
Is it just me who would rather the parties picked the BEST candidates regardless of the colour of their skin :(

Re: Operation Black Vote
its comforting to watch black people be racists.

it reinforces the truth of equality

You know what reading that story reminds me of?

"Lies , Damned Lies , and Statistics"

Sums it up quite nicely.

Heh. 8% of 659 is 52 (actually, 53 if you round it to the nearest integer).

I don't recall any assertions made about the total population of the UK.

659 is the number of MPs.

Re: Operation Black Vote
yes, but if you re-read the article then you will see that it says "ethnic minorites make up 8% of the total UK population and just 2% of MPs (2% of 659 being approx 13)

EDIT: actually, now that i re-read you original post, i see that you are saying that the total number of ethnic MPs should be 52, and not 42 as the BBC claim. how silly of me

In Britain "Asian" generally refers to people from the Indian subcontinent. It sometimes applies to a wider group, but people would generally say "Orientals" if they meant Chinese, Thai, etc.

I'm not even really sure why they raised that point anyway. Thanks to the wonderful nature of our constituency elections, it's totally irrelevent what the overall (i.e. national) proportion of ethnic minorities represent.

thats really funny you said that - because if youre not asian-american (which is what i am), most americans will not know that the middle-eastern and arabic nations (e.g. iraq, india, israel, kuwait, iran, etc) are a part of asia - an average american will get you into a 30-min argument in disagreement of this - which is pretty dumb i think

-now with posting this will open new doors of creative bashing of the americans (again), but oh well..

seems unlikely.
most of the families who 'beat up' the scotish stayed in England or Scotland in their nice big castles.

Presumably they thought strawman was the best way to get their point across.
