General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I was there for the 7/7, and have to admit, did not notice any particular shift in attitude towards indians/pakistanis. Maybe I was too young and just not looking, but I felt that the media largely shifted the blame to the actions of a few extremists instead of a culture as a whole.
I remember the rhetoric around 9/11 being about culture, and saw the effects of that in the US but not so much in the UK. Again, maybe I wasn't really looking, but I also feel that the media was just a bit more rational back then.
I'm also not denying that people of non-white backgrounds face discrimination, as I've felt it myself. I just felt it way waay more in Germany.
