BBC news is fuelling racist attacks on Poles because liberal elite is scared to highlight non-white immigration
By Matthew Hickley
The BBC was accused yesterday of http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=345 in its coverage of immigration issues because it is afraid to look at non-white groups from around the world.
Conservative MP Danny Kawczynski – himself of Polish descent – said it was more palatable for the corporation’s ‘liberal elite’ to highlight white Christians http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=1611 than far larger numbers from Africa, India and elsewhere.
Mr Kawczynski told the Commons the ‘distorted’ coverage was fuelling hate crimes against Poles and said he was appalled by the failure of the Equality and Human Rights Commission to take action.He added: ‘If this was being done to a black or other ethnic minority group, it would simply not be tolerated.’
The BBC rejected the criticism and accused the MP of failing to back up his ‘serious allegations’ with evidence.
