SO WHAT? BBC Gets Community Note Treatment for Pointing Out Train Drivers Are 'Overwhelmingly' White Men

Meme

You can always count on the media to stir the pot of racial division. It's what they do best, whether in the U.S. or across the pond.

The BBC got its rear end handed to it for this absurd story:

Both in the replies and quotes, as well as a Community Note, which reads:

Britain is overwhelmingly white.

Being a train driver takes many years of training and responsibility-building, so most drivers will be older.

Driving professions are all dominated by men. In rail this is likely because part-time driving is blocked by the unions.

Just perfect.

Here's the whole ridiculous story:

The average train driver is 46 years old, male and white, according to new data compiled by an industry body.

The National Skills Academy for Rail (NSAR) figures show that only one in ten drivers are non-white, with even fewer being women.

The rail industry has long recognised itself as being one of the least diverse employment sectors.

Southern Railway said it is trying to enable a wider range of people to apply for jobs.

Donna Pryce is an apprentice driver at the company, on a training course at Selhurst Depot near Croydon.

The horror.

They'd never say this about any other demographic in any other profession.

Only when white men are the majority is it the problem.

It's not news.

We shouldn't care.

It gives them clicks and stirs up racial division. Which is what they thrive on.

Amen.

And be praised for it.

They are incapable of this sort of logical thinking.

Excellent question.

They think it's bad.

Everything is racist.

No, it won't.

Nope. We just can't quit X.

They won't care about diversity then.

Just like they don't care that garbage collectors and plumbers are overwhelmingly men.
