LONDON, June 24: The head of the Crown prosecution service of Britain has claimed that his own organization and the vast majority of the British public are “racist”.
The director of public prosecutions, Sir David Calvert-Smith in an interview said, the crown prosecution service, which he heads, the police and the whole of British society is riddled with racial stereotyping.
He said: “It is my firm belief that British society is institutionally racist. I come to this with the idea that the whole of society has a problem.”
Sir David admitted that his organization was institutionally racist as revealed by two reports a year ago. The inquiry was set up after a flood of race discrimination claims by the crown prosecution staff.
Sir David says: “It is my firm belief that the British society is institutionally racist. A great deal has got to be done across the whole spectrum of British society, so I come to this with the idea that the whole of society has a problem.”
Asked if he believed that all, or almost all Britons, are racist, Sir David replied in affirmative.
“Whether we are talking about asylum, or sports, then there are various stereotypical assumptions made,” he added.
comment: well we all knew it now one of there own top prosecuters says it with his own lips. It is the nature of the secular capitalist system that encourages racism where people think they are superior to any other peoples.

Wsstern nations are inherently racist, like Muslim nations are inherently intolerant. It is a simple concept and not to hard to understand.

Same could be said for the extremist arabs/middle easterners on this site.
Nearly every country has some sort of racism and xenophobia built into it. But what matters is the level of racism attitudes and out of all the Western nations, the US is the worst in this category. Btu they have been able to cover this inherent trait up with legislation and a prosperous economy wich stops race riots.
The day that American economy collapses, Americans will elect a Nazi type governemnt. This is just commone sense and I'm not revealing any secrets here.
Globalization is comming and with it downfall of Western economies eventually.

The USA is the most racist then how come we have the most mixs of nationalities,religions,cultures in the world living in relative harmony you don't see jews killing muslims or catholics killing protestant or muslims killing hindus everyday.
I guess no one has risen to the challenge of naming even 1 country(much less 5) that do not have their own unique indices/practices of racism.
That then frames the context of the first post starting this thread. Basically, it renders it meaningless because the only relevant thing to do is to compare relative degrees of racism. On that score, I'm sure Britain scores as one of the least racist countries in the world as does the US.
keep dreaming US is most disgusting racist country i know. Go vist street of chicago or new york which i have done and the response i have got is f%^& america what have they done for me.
Everybody know how the racist europeans killed native indians and stole the land. Everybody knows that the slavery built the foundations of america.
As for britain the colonial scum which cause so much misery on indian subcontinent and middle east.
IF one looks across europe and america the racism is alive and kicking the recent rise of anti muslim and racist politicians is just a tip of the iceberg.
Myvoice in your desperation to say britain and US is least racist countries i advise you seriously need to get out more!
ok for all those who are asking for 1 state that dealed with the problem of racism, there is only 1 state that solved and that was the islamic state, and no it wasnt by the sword rather people accepted it islam as system to abide by, even though not all of them became muslims.
Then came the Khulafa’ al-Rashidun and the conquests continued. Iraq was inhabited by a mixture of Arabs and Persians who professed the faiths of the Christians, Mazdakyya and Zaradashtyya and this was the first country to be conquered. Persia followed next and al-Sham after that. Persia was inhabited by Persians, Jews and Christians and ruled over by the Persians whilst al-Sham was a Roman colony where the Roman culture and Christianity were predominant; Syrians, Armenians, Jews, Arabs and some Romans lived there. Egypt was conquered after this and it too was inhabited by a mixture of peoples; Egyptians, Jews and Romans. Then North Africa where the Berbers lived under Roman dominance, was conquered. Along came the Ummayads and they conquered Sind, Khawarizm and Samarqand, joining them to the Islamic State in the process. Al-Andalus was then conquered and became a Wilayah of the Islamic State. All these many countries varied in the nationality of their peoples; their language, religion, traditions, customs, laws and culture all differed. They naturally differed from each other in mentality and attitude, therefore the process of moulding these countries together and of uniting them into one single Ummah, adopting the same deen, language, culture and laws was a colossal and hard task whereby success would be a tremendous and extraordinary achievement. This happened solely through Islam and was only achieved by the Islamic State. Once those people had become engulfed by the banner of Islam and once they had been ruled by the Islamic State and embraced the Muslim belief they became a single Ummah, which is the Islamic Ummah. This feat was due to the effect of the Islamic rule and the Islamic ‘aqeedah. Many factors led to the successful moulding of these disparate peoples into one Ummah, the most important of which were the following four factors:
The teachings of Islam.
The mixing of the Muslim conquerors in their daily lives and work with the conquered people.
The quick embracing of Islam by the people of the conquered countries.
The radical change in the way of life of those who embraced Islam and their transformation from one situation to a better one.
Cuba has no racism. I guess it all boils down to priorities, when everyone is living in mud, different tones of skin color look the same. Cuba has perhaps one of the best records of race-relations in the world. Race relations (not racism) in US needs a lot to be desired, but I believe that the US is moving in the right direction. Racism does exist in the US, but it is not institutionalized as it is in some European countries. According to a report that I read a few months ago, Saudi Arabia and Japan topped the list of the most institutionally racist countries. It does not mean that every Saudi and every Japanese is a racist.
I think Britain suffers more from supremacy syndrome because of their royal colonial past. Everyone is seen as a subject, and I don’t think that it is racism as we know it. I read in today’s paper an obituary of Duke of Norfolk who died a few days ago. My initial reaction was: Who cares? But I guess Constitutional Monarchy has some flaws and institutional racism is only one of them.
What I am trying to say is that to make things better (perhaps not perfect) get rid of the Queen.
Ak.."keep dreaming US is most disgusting racist country i know"..well then you don't know alot, im a minority i live here im not harrassed or discrimanted against neither are people in my family i know hundreds of people that are minorities that have never been discrimanated against.Of course there are going to be some losers in the crowd there always is anywhere,but like myvoice said the USA and Briton are by far two of the least racist countries in the world.
NYA cubans not racist?Im not saying all but ask the Hatians or the Dominiacans or Puerto Ricans if cubans are racist and the vast majority will say yes but that really goes both ways i don't know why but it does.Try it out some time call a cuban a dominiacan and see how upset he gets or vise versa you'll see what i mean.

Cluuber.. why did you think that they went around conquering every country? Did they not believve that theirs was the "superior" way? Wouldn't that make them racists?
