White children are much more likely to be bullied than any other ethnic group - reversing racial stereotypes surrounding playground abuse, Government research indicates. Two thirds of children from white families say they had been bullied in the last three years but less than half of children of Indian origin make the same assertion.
Anti-bullying campaigners say white children are now in the minority in some areas raising their chances of being bullied.
Claude Knights, director of anti-bullying charity Kidscape, said:More and more were hearing that in some cities it isnt the usual isolation of ethnic groups, suddenly we have got statistics that show we have got a larger number of white young people being bullied.
In some cities theres a dislocation of certain white children. So many cultures around them are being celebrated but wheres their place? Theres been such an attempt that you dont forget what has come in to the system that what was there already has been forgotten. This isolation makes children feel different she said, and was likely to lead to them being bullied.
Six in ten children of black Caribbean origin said they had experienced bullying in the last three years, according to research into 16-year-olds by the Department for Children Schools and Families(DCSF). The results indicated that 58 per cent of children from Pakistani backgrounds and 54 per cent of those with Bangladeshi roots had been victims of bullies.
Louise Burfitt-Dons, founder of the charity Act Against Bullying, which cut ties with Jade Goody after allegations of racist bullying against Indian actress Shilpa Shetty on Big Brother, said: Normally all you hear about is bullying with racial groups being discriminated against.
Whites are becoming more aggressive than they used to be as a result of trying to intergrate into a new society norm that is so aggressive. They have changed the way they behave in order to survive.
The study also found that boys are just as likely to be bullied as girls but as many as eight in ten children with a disability that affects their school life said they had suffered at the hands of bullies in the last three years.
A spokesperson for the DCSF said:We have given teachers and heads the powers and support they need to prevent and tackle bullying. But bullying is a challenge we must all face up to and we need the support of teachers, heads, parents, young people and bystanders. It is important that children and young people who experience bullying speak out and do not suffer in silence.
Poster's comment:
She said a mouthful here. The only time anyone seems to see racial bullying or racism in general, as a big deal is when minorities are the victims. It makes perfect sense that white kids are more likely to be bullied. First off whites are less aggressive than certain minorities. Second there is no sense of solidarity among white kids, no shared common identity. Third, minority kids are learning from an early age about "white racism and oppression"(funny how this is never referred to as hate propaganda by those who just love to throw that term around) while white kids are taught that whites have much to atone for and to "love" everyone. This will be a pretty good cure for the last one, just like experiences with non white behavior in general.
What they loudly and smugly assure you is a racist lie TODAY, they will grudgingly admit to (in a resentful, sotto-voce mutter) TOMORROW. After it's too late and the damage is already done. And they may not care even then.
In fact, the Jews may come around to reason before the race traitors. (Nobody survives as long as they have without the ability to take off the tikkun olam-colored glasses and adjust on the fly. Most Jews don't believe in God to begin with, so their commitment to a rich man's conceit like tikkun olam is always a Madoff swindle or Hamas strike away from being chucked out with the bathwater the moment they begin losing altitude.)
But race traitors? Race traitors almost always end up standing in a cookpot of boiling water surrounded by dancing Mau Maus, comforting themselves in their final moments with the belief that extinction is preferable to survival as a racist species anyway. They will not only carry their claptrap to the grave with them but wrap their arms around as many of their own - and yours - as they can on the way down. Amy Biehl's parents, case in point.
