Re:    The BBC, multicultural society and the melting pot

In response to an article in today's Daily Telegraph, "The BBC's commitment to bias is no laughing matter" by Tom Leonard
 
Is the BBC biased? Of course it is - as any such institution is bound to be.

What irritates me MOST, to put it mildly, is the way it gently stirs the "melting pot" of multi-racial/multi-cultural society, while suppressing all criticism or even questioning of what it is doing and what the long-term consequences will be (not a more diverse society, as it claims, but quite the contrary: a far less diverse and very different, predominantly mixed-race, society to what we have at the moment). We (especially our children through CBBC) are being encouraged to see mixed-race relationships and children (especially Afro-European) as the norm, the percentage of mixed-race presenters and children on its children's programmes being out of all proportion to their numbers in society as a whole. But no one dares mention it for fear of being condemned as a "racist". It will probably result in this comment not being posted, thus demonstrating the power of liberal-leftwing multi-culti/melting pot ideology even over such Conservative publications as the Daily Telegraph.

 
The BBC have even introduced a Jamaican accent to Radio 4. They cannot show us a black face, so they feel they have to give us a black voice instead.

I have no wish to deny ethnic minorities fair representation on the BBC, but just as we now have an "Asian Network" for people of Asian background, I'd like to see a "Native Network" for what still remains of Britain's "hideously white" native population. It should be possible for us to have at least one radio and one TV channel to ourselves (that would undermine the MYTH, of coure, of our shared "Britishness" - and good job too!)

As, slowly but surely (thanks, in no small measure to the efforts of the BBC), the native population becomes an ethnic minority itself, it should also have the same rights as other ethnic minorities.

P.S. As I suspected would happen, this comment (now slightly modified), which I posted twice, did not appear on the Daily Telegraph's website. This is the kind of censorship that an undemocratic press, while calling itself "democractic" (as many Communist dictatorships did) is able to exercise. My praise to the Guardian, where such censorship of reader comment is, as far as I can tell, not practiced.
