It's an uncomfortable truth but scientists say most people have an ingrained racial bias.
Racism is an issue that still pervades many societies.

Black people are twenty-eight times more likely than white to be stopped and searched by the police
in 2009/10 black people were over three times more likely than white to be arrested,
black and those of mixed ethnicity are over twice as likely as whites to be unemployed
three quarters of 7-year-old Pakistani and Bangladeshi children are living in poverty
compared to one in four whites,
‘Other Black’ are six times more likely than average to be admitted as mental health inpatients.

his opinion on the west indies is backward, ignorant. he has no real understanding of the region. and he is biased, hateful of people of african descent.
it is my opinion that you guys are the same way so you agree with him.
it looks like allyuh in it for revenge, ego, ethnocentrism....quietly looking to take over and drive Africans into the sea..boasting about allyuh power already.

"When we think of something as implicit racial bias :
you think that it's already ingrained and there's nothing you can do,
but in reality these studies show that by simply having people relate to someone with a different ethnicity -
you can already change that. New associations will be built.
It's a stepping stone, for sure."
