Today marks six months since the murder of George Floyd.

With the resurgence of the #BlackLivesMatter movement this summer, racial equality has been a topic never far from the headlines in 2020.

But how much of a problem is racism in the UK?

#5NewsTonight investigates. 👇
We teamed up with race equality charity @raceontheagenda (ROTA) to construct a questionnaire that would investigate the experience of racism in Britain today.

More than 500 people from Black, Asian and Minority ethnic backgrounds were surveyed over a four-week period.
They were asked about their experiences of racism in everyday life from education, workplace discrimination, accessing the NHS, accessing finances, public services and their attitudes towards the police and the BLM movement.

Here are some of the findings. 👇

"What percentage Aboriginal are they?"

"Are there still any 100% Aboriginal people in Australia?"

As a former settler in Australia these are genuine questions I've gotten from people around the world.
"But they don't LOOK Aboriginal," people say. What's wrong with that?

...everything. Apart from nobody owing you an explanation about their identity (ever), here's why.
Genocide, rape and forced separation were used to 'stamp out the Aboriginality' in people by colonisers in Australia. They were used as a weapon to erase culture and history.

Hi everyone thank you for all your support and empathy in the past few days.
To minimize further injuries, the original voicemail with the intended subject's name has been removed, but I am reposting here with name obscured: soundcloud.com/user-251012259… (thanks for tech help!)
I am also reposting my entire Twitter message regarding this incident, with other important ideas I forgot to include:
four days ago my work phone got a rambling but confrontational 3.5 min voicemail from someone questioning my legitimacy to teach based on my presumed #citizenship and #ethnic identity. You can hear the actual message here: soundcloud.com/user-251012259…

I moved to a new apartment last month and I’ve already been asked to show ID three times to prove I live here. A thread. #EverydayRacism
First time, I was carrying groceries from Trader Joe’s. I come up to the building, doorman opens door, looks at me and says “service entrance is in the back.”

“Bruh, I live here.”

Then he demands ID and makes me sit there while he looks me up to get into my own damn apartment.
Second time, I’m walking into the building and I get stopped again.

“Can I help you?”

“I live here Apartment number []”

“Hold on, hold on let me have your name and ID.”

“I just moved, trying to get home.”

“Yea, yea but we gotta get to know each other, right?”

Translation: he was a White dude so we have to pretend that premeditated fabrication of explosives and terroristic murder by mail are just the sympathetic growing pains of White young adulthood.
He wasn’t too “challenged” to figure out how to obtain the materials and construct multiple pipe bombs, then strategically mail them and avoid detection long enough to kill 3 people. Y’all need to stop willing innocence to these White dudes, all it does is give them permission.
Conditt = Vanilla ISIS. End of story.
