Failed Imagineer posted:Is there a contradiction there though? They want (white) Britons to exclusively live in the relatively secure misery of Britane, and everyone else can gently caress Off. But they simultaneously think nobody should want to live in Dangerousland, and the Dangerouslanders should all go back there. Their opinions only reconcile if one group of people is innately inferior (which is what they believe, of course). It's what I like to call a cuntradiction.

Imagine getting made to climb a ladder, but also forgetting how exactly that works, so your limbs start moving but in all the wrong ways. Now apply that to rearranging the structure of your entire body into a car.

I wish I could say that this table looks like it should only be found in a racist RPG, but the fact it's in an official Public Body made in the dim distant year of (checks notes) 2008, is horrifying. Also I wonder what category that "Irish" would be placed in. (I suspect its either under the "British" entry or "Unknown")

Was accusations of stealing from your place of work essentially, it turned out to be a massive computer error in either every case or the vast, vast majority of cases. Loads of people working for the post office had their lives ruined because of it cause they were prosecuted and at best lost their jobs and had the "fact" that they'd been fired for stealing as a matter of record.

Not even the worst things about the chart, but why are Nigerians and Africans mentioned separately? You see that a lot in a xenophobic context in southern Africa, "African = our proud brothers and friends, Nigerian = thug, job stealer", but I'm sure that's not what this chart is doing, it's doing something else terrible. And why are French white and Spanish dark? I guarantee whoever compiled it could not tell the difference between Jean Dujardin and Dani Carvajal, and they saw a Mexican in an old Western once and had to have a lie down. Works cited:

Were they using some mid-century race science textbook as a reference? Who was talking about the "Siamese" in 2008? Just a bizarre set of choices, even if you accept that the post office really needed a detailed racial breakdown of the employees it was falsely accusing.

The descriptions are slightly more racist than usual, but those are the classifications police still use today. The investigation team were probably ex coppers.

IC codes were in use well into the 10s to my knowledge, maybe they still are? Used to hear "IC1/IC3 male" from the loss prevention ppl all the time when working retail. IC3 was very firmly black tho not 'negroid' lol also love that they just wrote 'asians (miscellaneous)' under indian/pakistani and also that the secular french have made it in to the aryan club but the papist spaniards/italians are not to be trusted

White people are 'Caucasoid' because some dickweed found a skull that he thought was the perfect geometrical proportions and also thought that it came from the Caucasus. That's the level of science at play.
