    At 18 they are old enough to vote.

        OPM doesn't count as an adult.

          It is offensive. I suppose since my kids are mixed race, they're half racist?

          Well it would. The google news feed is tailored to your interests garnered from what you search for and your historic news reading patterns. So if you're a narrow minded, dim xenophobic DM reader (just as a hypothetical example), you'll get this kind of news popping up more often that it would for your average Socialist Worker's reader.

          Perhaps it should be "Black Lives Matter As Well".
          Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

            It depends on what kind of white you are.

            White British
            White Irish
            Gypsy, Irish Traveler
            Any other white background.

              Are you suggesting all Gypsies are Irish? The UK has plenty of Gypsies.

              Inneresting calling them travelers when they rarely move. Dale Farm.

                Hmm - the only time i ever read the DM is by following links from here - in addition right now I have a story about a pub boss who has fallen in love and has sex with his Jag X type (from the Sun) and just below that something from BBC news about a mid air near miss.

                So I am not convinced your views on google news feeds is spot on.

                In fact I am sure because even though I hate apple products and never google search for them every time I check my feed there is some apple related sh1t.

                  Google actually follows what you read. Many sites use Google stuff hence they, Google, can track you in lots of places.

                  So if you link to the Daily Mail from here Google notices that and Daily Mail stories appear in your news feed.

                    It doesn't work like that in Social Sciences.

                    They, your kids, are a still a minority regardless of the fact they are mixed race so are subject to racism. There as you, their white parent, are completely racist.


                    (Yes it is a load of tulip as Social Science theories can't cope with complexity e.g. intersectionality)

                      https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...-people-racist

                      my statement that “white middle class, white working class, white men, white women, white gays, white children” are racist, while rhetorically hyperbolic, was a clear reference to the fact that racism is not an exclusive characteristic of any one demographic.
