LOL yes apologies to the three Chris' my bad still a valid point though

Does seem to be discrimination against black managers not called Chris, though!

Gus poyet,Roberto di-matteo.
Not yet, but have been,and will be again

Neither Gus Poyet or Bobby Di Matteo are black but they both have cracking tans

lol - never heard that one before, El Bow, I like it!

No, just speculating, they're rooted at the bottom of the table, aren't they?

I know this is way off topic, but saw him interview at the Liverpool game and was impressed. But then its all about results!!

LOL. On a serious note there was an interesting experiment conducted in the US in the 60s where a school teacher wanted to teach her class about racism.

On day one they picked on the brown eyed children, made them wear collars and treated them like black people were treated under segregation laws. On day two she flipped it and they picked on the blue eyed kids instead.

The fascinating thing was she gave both groups of children a test on both days. In both groups the children performed worse when they were the 'lesser' class.

What it demonstrated was that when they felt they were second class citizens that wouldn't achieve anything their attainment levels dropped.

So everything in our society from imagery to figureheads and attitudes to populist opinion will serve only to reinforce that stereotype.

So yes in your face sexism, racism etc is less prevalent but the signs are there to see it hasn't gone away.

51% of the population are women but they are under represented in positions of leadership because of our patriarchal society. Whilst a quarter of footballers in the top four divisions are black I think Paul Ince is the only black manager.

So yes IMHO pictures like this are part of a wider societal reinforcement of current gender imbalance

Not quite an experiment.

One Teachers's reaction to Martin Luther King's assassination. 'A Class Divided' was the name of it.

There's difference between not looking for it and turning a blind eye to it.

Yip re racism, probably not as much though? Just trying to get you to look from a different perspective, difficult I know.

Welcome to 2013, where someone uses a picture of a woman in an advert and a discussion has to take place about it, which then descends into the realms of sexism and even racism. Now the thought police won't let us use the David Beckham example, because apparently it is not the same thing. He is using his looks to sell a product. Anna Rawson is using her looks to sell a product. It is EXACTLY the same thing. Just because it doesn't fit the feminist agenda does not change the facts.

I'm interested in getting a rounded picture so I did follow, I'm not sure I could dismiss without first understanding. Even though some of the instances cited are illegal rather than sexist.

As a white male in Dorset , I've never experienced racism towards me, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I did however once get wolf whistled at by another man . (I was quite a catch in my youth!)

I'm not sure this is PC, but I quite liked the attention

The thing is Sweep both the Beckham and Rawson adverts are targeted at men...
