  • Even though we are laughing about the things we endured growing up black in the UK, I still think that there still needs to be a lot of changes to the Education system. Black kids should be treated equally and the British school systems need to do better for the safety and the mental health of their black students. #blacklivesmatter

    I'm training to be a teacher and honestly, the training doesn't really go past 'so there may be students that are BAME, be sensitive'. Wanting us to walk on eggshells instead of actually talking about the issues that black students/pupils face. The universities and schools aren't asking black students/pupils how they feel and why because they're scared of the answers. It's middle-class white people in universities deciding what the 'correct' terms to use are that make them feel comfortable because they want to perpetuate this guilt for being white, victimising themselves. In an attempt to not be racist, they're still 'othering' black students so the cycle continues.

      If you think about it only kids would ask. Teachers/ adults never asked and i grew up in the late 90s in UK. With kids its a lack of knowledge. Ive lived here in Australia for a couple of years and im still learning about asian countries and Pacific islands and make mistakes in naming things/ saying things which may come off as ignorant to some. But i fess up and try again.

    • @pipercharms7374
      @pipercharms7374 Před 3 lety +1

      because its worse or better in certain areas, if you were in a certain area then you wouldn't see it much so you'd think there wasn't much racism, if you were in another area then you'd see it a lot and the UK would be quite racist. Racism differs depending on what area of the UK you are in.
      People who say racism doesn't exist in the UK, they are either being ignorant or they were in an area where racism wasn't as prevalent so they wouldn't have noticed it that much.
      In my school, there was racism but it defiantly wasn't common, it was common for white kids and black kids to be friends, the major problems in my school was there was prejudice from the children against other children who were religious, especially if you were a christian. If you were religious you basically were deemed "stupid" and bullied a lot.

      Same here! I was born in Austria but moved to England when I was 9. Went to school in Loughborough and was literally the only black kid in school at the time. Looking back now there was a lot of racist undertones that I didn't always pick up on (apart from the obvious ones like being called a monkey), and only realised how awful they where when I moved to London 6 years ago. Was a very suffocating experience. As soon as I finished college at 18 I was like bye bitch.
