    Default British Red Cross chief: Staff is “too white,” words like “British” and “cross” are a “challenge”

    British Red Cross ‘Too White’, Chief Exec Calls Words ‘British’ and ‘Cross’ a ‘Challenge’
    by Virginia Hale, Breitbart, September 10, 2017:

    British Red Cross chief Mike Adamson has claimed the charity struggled to deal with the Grenfell disaster because staff and volunteers are too white.

    “There is a risk that in a very diverse community like Grenfell, an organisation with the words ‘British’ and ‘Cross’ in its title is confused with a Christian establishment organisation,” he wrote, in a blog for the New Philanthropy Capital think tank.

    Though stating that the charity is “completely impartial” in its work, Adamson added: “There is no escaping the fact that with shining exceptions, such as our refugee services, we are nowhere near as diverse as we need to be in our volunteer base, our staffing or our leadership.”

    Announcing that he is “personally leading” the charity’s “inclusion and diversity strategy”, Adamson said the British Red Cross is “changing massively to be relevant to the world of today and tomorrow.”

    He was slammed by commenters at the Times website — which reported Adamson a having “admitted the charity struggled with the Grenfell disaster because its workforce is too white” — for “apologising for [the British Red Cross’] very existence, its name and not being ‘diverse’ enough.”

    “Call in the Red Crescent, if that is of the correct ethnicity,” wrote one user, adding: “What’s truly pathetic is the self-hate and desperate apologies for not being ‘relevant’ enough.”

    On Tuesday, a blog post on the Third Sector website lamented that Britain needs “prompt action on diversity in fundraising”, arguing that the industry needs a significant culture change to attract more black and minority ethnic (BAME/BME) people to its workforce.

    In the post, author Hayley Gullen — a senior trusts fundraising manager — reported a number of different “barriers” to ethnic minorities in pursuing fundraising careers , which include charity having “negative connotations”, the field being perceived as low prestige in migrant communities, and other cultures lacking the concept of charity.

    A Guardian article similarly bemoaning the fact that Britain’s publishing industry “remains 90 per cent white” was attacked by readers who pointed out that — with the UK around 86 per cent white — the figure was broadly representative.

    In comments below the piece, readers also questioned why the Guardian made ethnicity its focus when reporting on the alleged lack of diversity in the industry, when the article states that 85 per cent of people working in UK publishing are female.

    “Where is the Guardian’s alarm at that statistic?”, wrote one user, calling the gender gap “a far bigger disparity than a marginal overrepresentation of white people in what is a very middle-class profession."

    This is appalling. It should not matter what the race of an aid worker is — except it does, apparently, ie. if the aid worker is white. Racism against white people apparently is acceptable now. Adamson states:

    "There is a risk that in a very diverse community like Grenfell, an organisation with the words ‘British’ and ‘Cross’ in its title is confused with a Christian establishment organisation."

    Adamson in effect condemns Christianity and British people for acts of altruism. This is bizarre. His demonizing of white Christians aligns with the rhetoric of the Islamic State. Islamic State jihadis wrote about the Grenfell Towers disaster: “How beautiful the fire that consumes the buildings of the criminal Britons and Christians.”

    Adamson is also suggesting that the identification of Red Cross workers as British and Christian is offensive to Muslims in the UK. What does that indicate about the Muslim population?

    I agree.

    UK should immediately cut the foreign aid budget which is already insanely high, that money could be well spent home - mainly on depraved and depleted military.

    This is just another reason why you should not donate to them or any other charity like them. Much if not most of the money they get, they spend overpaying fools like this.
