750 members of Jon Snow's beloved European Parliament. A quick scroll down suggests 9 non-whites, 5 of which come from the UK. That makes it 98.8% white. |

Observing a Brexit rally....
I do not think it was particularly offensive, he just said what he saw, in todays pc society broadcasters have to be so careful what they say I think it was excessive immigration that caused people to vote for Brexit, that is the reality I think we could do with a few immigrants myself, but it should be kept in proportion, too much of anything is a bad thing |

The remark is totally wrong. He wouldn't say something similar if the crowd was of a different colour

an appropriate name. That must hurt every time he signs it; being the liberalised hair shirt wearing numpty he is

It is clear racism but he will get away with it.

Have you got a link? I need a good laugh.
Snow is white of course hence "White Xmas" Is it still permissible to call it White Xmas? Prolly just a classic case of nominative determinism rather than blatant racism so I'm prepared to let the matter drop, though remain deeply offended. Prove that I'm the bigger person. |

The late political journalist John Morrison Cole allegedly always had dificulty saying the word black.
|
|
By:
The phrases 'too pale' and 'too white' are increasingly common. It's blatant racism spoken by people who have no regard for Blacks or Asians.
They just hate whites. They won't rest until Europe mirrors Africa and the Middle East. It's a self loathing, a suicidal tendency that of course leads to death. Death of culture, tradition, faith and people. Identity politics. |

in todays pc society broadcasters have to be so careful what they say People make remarks and get jumped on if somebody doesn't like it, similar to the 'coloured' remark about Abbott. Rudd was actually speaking up for Abbott and no offence was intended but was taken. That's just the way it has gone Ebul. Not sure why Snow felt the need to point it out but as you say it was what he saw. |

I'm white, i wouldn't be offended if black people were also not offended about the same remark
|
|
By:
Well over 90% of the populations of Scotland, Wales, NE England and SW England describe themselves as "White British" according to the 2011 Census. If Snow has never seen so many white people before, then he really ought to get out more. He's led a very sheltered life.

|
By:
Some of the 10% should white up for him.
|
|
By:
He should be given one of those Queen's medals for doing the politicians such a big favor. Brexit night turned into a Jon Snow night.
is this also on the media or its just chit chat p1ssed over this? |
|
By:
Snow lives in London where the white British population is around is around 45%
|
|
By:
I'm certainly not offended by Snow. I only get offended when people I like say unplesant stuff.
More seriously it's the agenda of people like Snow to denegrate crowds, institutions and businesses that are predominantly white. It's very sinister and of course racist. |
|
By:
LOL - a thread for snow-flakes to feign that they have been offended by a SNOW-flake.
I have seen it all now - and quite frankly I find it offensive. |
|
By:
I'm offended that your offended by other people being offended by someone who offended them.

I'm just confused.

Snow lives in London where the white British population is around is around 45% Some generalisation there, does he live in Newham perhaps? |
|
By:
"Something quite remarkable happened in London in the first decade of the new millennium. The number of white British people in the capital fell by 620,000 - equivalent to the entire population of Glasgow moving out."
|

By:
Snow may have meant it as a subtle joke....people are not humorous enough now
|
|
By:
Too many people today are looking for offence..
|
|
By:
generalisation? as a reporter he moves about a lot in the same city I'd imagine as well as the journey to and from work.
|
|
By:
is there no video of what it is he actually said?
