This reflects the emerging human inability to cope and discuss tough subjects in a healthy or balanced way \/or deal with errors. These generalisations are a very convenient dump but upturns those with integrity and creates a route for those with this madness to take over and corrupt the integrity of those that are doing something useful. This political correctness is a serious threat to the effectiveness and integrity of the police an anyone else trying to do something useful. So what do you do? abit of the winningthinking approach (this is a big issue for businesses that causes business to completely take their eye off the ball..) Recognise this accusation of racism is a baseless story that is not related to what is being said. Specifically &#8220;white than white&#8221;=&#8221;beyond reproach&#8221;.
