If true, then this is not really so terrible is it? Because nowhere in the history of a white person like this cop, do we find colonialism or racial discrimination.
I feel that yes, everyone should respect the position of a police officer, but he does not need to pretend that he was a victim of a racial offence. He, and white people in general, have no idea what it is like to be on the receiving end of racism. For a white person, white is just a word. To pretend it hurts is to be a cry baby.
I don't think you can say white people haven't experienced racial discrimination. Most of us haven't, but I'm sure in the history of the world you'll find some examples.
Perhaps but British white people have never. This police officer is being an absolute cry bully for doing this. She now has to go to a criminal trial! Unbelievable.
As long as you forget about the Irish, the Welsh, and (to a lesser extent IIRC) the Scots - all of whom are white and British.
