Re: UK PM was wrong to name nurses who cared for him..this is why

Now the Grauniad has released a `Clap for Me` video featuring all immigrant `people of colour` who work for the NHS while ignoring white immigrants and indigenous white employees, implying that the NHS would grind to a halt if not for their efforts. While recognising their contribution to the NHS, let us not forget that the great majority of employees are white.

This video can be regarded as racist in my view...

Whilst we have every reason to be thankful for the efforts of these people, you can imagine the outcry if the video only featured white people.

What does colour have to do with it anyway. They seem to forget that someone can be an immigrant without being black. I will clap for their efforts in the NHS but I will not clap for their colour.

Mind you, it is the Grauniad.
