ZIMBABWEAN WHITE FARMERS AND ENGLISH WHITE ANCHOR(WO)MEN UNITE! WHITE ENGLISH FACE GROWING RACISM, WATCHDOG WARNS (UK) White English men and woman are fighting a rising tide of racism amid a growing fear of the consequences of speaking out, the head of a racial equality watchdog has warned. Whites of English origin living in Wales are complaining of discrimination for the first time ever but many choose to keep their identities secret. Naz Malik, chairman of Swansea Bay Race Equality Council, warned that racism against the English in Wales risked developing into a major problem. His comments come as the race equality watchdog takes up the case of two female BBC Radio Wales broadcasters who claim they are subject to racist attitudes at the corporation. The two women, one English and the other Asian, are both claiming discrimination as a result of their non-Welsh origin. BBC Wales dismissed the claims and said any such allegations were taken extremely seriously. Mr Malik said: "The English who are on the wrong end of this banter and abuse do not like it at all and feel very uncomfortable with the situation. "The BBC is not an isolated case. What we are seeing at the moment are the first recorded cases of English whites complaining about discrimination. Our records suggest that in the 20 years since we have been in existence we have certainly not come across that situation before. "I have been telephoned by three officers working for Welsh county councils who have complained of discrimination because of who they are - they all wanted to remain anonymous. "What it shows is that English people are afraid to go public because they feel afraid of retaliation. Unless we take positive action now and stamp this problem out it can only get worse. The message should be that racism is everybody's problem - your nationality should not come into it." © Ananova cybop. cit.
