Are Asians or people with Asian influence( in this case half European),just as racist as whites? Since whites are normally labelled as being institutionally racist.

Why do you ask 'are Asians just as racist as whites'? This to me suggests that you view white people as the number one racists? Look, you get racism from any peoples, believe it or not, even from Africans. If anything its the African racism against Asians and Europeans that is a hardly spoken about subject.

Anyways just responding to one of the newspaper articles.

Virginia Jibowu, 25, from South Lambeth, says that she was ostracised by white students in an "institutionally racist" environment at London's King's College medical school.

So she was ostracised white students and not Asian students?

She says that while the students she has accused of racism graduated,

That’s what normally happens when you pass your degree, you end up graduating.

the college refused to investigate many of her complaints, deliberately failed her

From what I’ve seen from at least the university I went to, if you failed a module by 1 mark or so they might push your grade up from a fail to a third (eg. From 38%/39% to 40%). But failing people who would have passed just sounds like a bad lie to be honest. Why would they deliberately fail a student in which they’ve invested a significant amount of time and money on? There is normally quality control as well, at my uni exams were marked twice by different people so nothing 'iffy' goes on.

and tried to stop her re-sitting the course.

Well universities have regulations, and in most courses if you fail in the spring then you have to resit your failed modules in August/September time but you are capped at 40% (a 3rd). I’m not sure about Medical school but I would think that there weren’t opportunities for resitting examinations unless you had genuine mitigating circumstances. The regulations at my uni were that if you failed the year you would have to withdraw from the university, there were no chances of repeating the year. I know I certainly wouldn’t want a doctor who had to repeat the year.

Ms Jibowu, who is of Nigerian origin,

Well Nigerians are notorious for their money scams.

says that fellow students refused to shop, eat or share a shower-room with her in their accommodation.

Just because students refused to shop, eat or share a shower room with her in their accommodation doesn’t even mean they were being racist against her. They just might not have liked her, this is like saying that if I don’t get along with someone who happens to come from where I don't come from, then I must be a racist.

She alleges that one woman student suggested introducing a killer disease into Africa to wipe out all blacks.

Wasn’t there a thread about controlling Africas birth rate with the introduction of AIDs. Some people seem to think that AIDs were ‘accidentally’ spread into sub-Saharan populations and the gay population of New York by contaminated hepatitis B vaccinations back in the 1970s. http://www.originofaids.com/

Yes this photo looks like it captures the epitome of racism.

KCL and other London medical schools, overall, have the highest proportion of non-native Britons in the country. The last thing KCL's administration can be accused of is institutional racism when they allow so many other bright students of Indian, Pakistani and East Asian origin into their ranks.

Exactly the notion that a London based Medical School could be institutionally racist is absurd. If I were a betting man then I would put my money on KCL having more Asian students than European students.

Publicizing what should have remained an internal affair will not bode well for her, as she's practically ruined her chances of a transfer to other medical institutions.

Exactly she went public with her story, I bet she made alot of money selling her story to the press.

Folks from outside London need to understand that, as the BNP's thoroughly anti-multicultural mantra indicates, the city is the most diverse and tolerant place in England.

Lets be honest London is probably one of the most diverse places on the planet.

As someone who has traveled across England and is "in the system", I consider her argument to be very hard to believe.

Ditto.

Voting against Israel doesn't make a country necessarily racist. The Soivet Union consistently voted against Israel at the same time they granted lots and lots of aid to African communist countries. What aid did Israel ever give to Africa? They only picked up the Beta Israel to use them as cheap labor, and I've read several pieces of news that say they're discriminated inside Israel.

I wonder according to Holden Caulfield if those Jews that refuse to serve for the Israeli Defence Force within the Palestinian territories appropriated post-1967 are anti-Semites as well?
