5. Bit of a bait headline tbh

   I’m probably can’t post the article because paywall, but reading through it the judge concluded she wasn’t treated harshly because of racism (is what I’m inferring from the headline) but rather because she criticised the boss’ son without realising who he was. So a victim of awful nepotism sadly

6. What a lot of people don’t realise is that India and Indian culture is a hotbed of racism. The caste system is an integral part of their system and promotes racism against other communities and often even with lower caste Hindus.

   At no cost should we let this sort of nonsense permeate and become acceptable over here.

7. Okay, I see the comments for this article will be incredibly spicy. Grab your popcorn, people, this is gonna be fun

8. Reading the article seems like it was more a case of nepotism gone wrong. Son who ran the company employed his mum in a managerial position, her being bad at it and the person complaining complaining to the managers boss without realising that was her son. Then got internally blackballed.

   This sub – *RACISM DOESN’T HAPPEN* list of implausible reasons why discrimination might have been appropriate *POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GONE MAD* why is the UK so litigious 

   *white person sues for discrimination *

   This sub – *AS IT SHOULD BE* list of anecdotes about discrimination happening all the time *STORM’S COMING* yeah racism is a thing but it’s just me who is a victim actually

10. > Employment Judge Callum Cowx said that Ms Blackwell was treated “less favourably” than her colleagues but that **this was not because she was “white British”.**

    > He added: “The motivation behind [Ms Blackwell’s] dismissal was the personality clash between herself and [Ms Kapoor], and the complaints made by [Ms Blackwell] about [Ms Kapoor],” he said.

    > “In a small, family-run business it was inevitable that [her] position would become precarious, if not untenable, once she had made accusations of the kind she did against [Ms Kapoor].”

    > But the judge concluded she was subjected to victimisation in the aftermath of the accusations and awarded her £41,181.58 in compensation.

    ITT: no one reading the racebaiting Torygraph article and making wild (and racist) assumptions based on the headline. Stay classy r/unitedkingdom

13. Lot of non racists in the comment section making racist generalisation without reading the actual article.

15. Very interesting how the comments continuing the fearmongering are at the top while those pointing out the downright dishonest headline are buried at the bottom.

16. So the telegraph is finally anti racism, weird timeline
