Isn’t it equally wrong to discriminate by race no matter what the race is mishkin?
What disappoints me is how Stewart doesn’t even push back here. The BBC presenter is incapable of seeing things in terms other than race and religion. Stewart should have come back and said that the diversity of the candidates is irrelevant to how they will represent Londoners and serve as Mayor. Celebrating diversity means some people being put the forefront and some being sidelined because of their race.Mr Webb said: 'You mention that you are proud of the diversity of the mayoral race in London, you are a white guy and Old Etonian - it's not really 2020 is it, really, to be challenging a black man who is the conservative candidate and the Muslim mayor.'
Mr Stewart added: 'You are absolutely right it is a fantastically diverse group of candidates which reflects a diverse city.'
'And you are saying don't elect them, elect a white Etonian,' said Mr Webb who was educated at private Sidcot School, Somerset.
