First my point (as you very well know) was why the **** are you so concerned about this issue? Why do you get your panties in a bunch about something that is actually not an issue? I guess its because in your own words your "broadly non racist" - which rather translates into being racist but smart enough to keep quiet about it.
Secondly and I pointed this out, there is no way in reality that you through casual observation of the broadcast media and drama have made an accurate assessment, when the figures showed a 4% over representation - I mean if it had been say 20% over representation then you would have been able to claim you were right, but 4% over, come on only a fool would think that significant. 4% is so statistically small that claiming it is over representation is not just splitting hairs, but looking suspiciously like somebody whose grasp on reality is tenuous to say the least or somebody who has made a nonsensical claim and is now desperate to appear credible.
Of course as you were so eager to milk a statistical chance that seemed to support your view, you dismissed the points I had made. But then thats your general approach when challenged on some of your more esoteric opinions, either ignore or simply disappear and never address the issue.
Still even you as an accountant (apparently, though I do wonder) must recognise that, 29% of people being from an ethnic background in the broadcast media as against 24% in society is hardly over representation.
What the **** this has to do with your claim that my Hitler analogy was wrong and I'd admitted it, I don't know. Oh I've noticed that rather than address the matter being debated, you have chosen to cite this as if it were some great feat of judgement on your part.
Toodle pip pops, I have had more intelligent conversation with a child of primary school age than yourself.
