For the second time in my life I am learning what it feels like to be discriminated against.
I am, for my sins, a white caucasian male. As a consequence I represent about 40% of the UK population. My educator has, in this instance, been the BBC.
I decided to watch question time this week. The panel was 2 white caucasian women,an asian man, an Indian man and an African/American woman.
I applaud the diversity but I now also understand a scintilla of the feelings of injustice and oppression felt my minorities. Was this the purpose of such a selection?? Was it deliberate not to have a member of a 40% group?. I switched off!

(for the record, the other instance occurred when I was abroad, which I expected)
