Steve was white, with blue eyes and blond hair... leaving Asian and women officers "isolated"... So when Asian and/or female officers are staring down the barrel of some criminal's gun, will they feel "isolated" when white, blond-haired, blue-eyed backup arrives?

If they want something more representative I recommend a neutered Dalmatian.

Does anyone now doubt that the UK is a country in decline? I wonder how long they will last before they are defeated and overrun.

“British police mascot ‘too white, too male’”
How coincidental. Thats what was communicated to me when I applied for employment with the SFPD albeit in a very PC fashion. The quote was “San Francisco is a multicultural ethnically diverse city and we like our officers to reflect that.” and was repeated at least x 2. I guess you could add too heterosexual’ to the mix as well. In retrospect I consider myself lucky I never worked for them

after an Asian officer complained In Britain, "Asian" signifies Middle Eastern, not Southeast Asian. They'd use the term "Oriental" for someone we'd call "Asian". I'm thinking the complainer was not a white Amish guy.

"after complaints about a model deemed too white and too male."
Racism! Racism! Oh, wait, that's anti-white racism. That's ok.

Political Correctness seems to be a problem across the whole Western world. We Brits just currently make more of a fuss when stories like this come out as the UK has been relatively late to the PC party. I love the US, but you guys invented this trend. I remember reading such stories about events in the US years ago. Apparently a British author was recently told that his book would have to be changed for US audiences as the villain was written as being the son of a hair dresser: and some might take that as being a slur on gays!

John Edwards with a tan might make the perfect mascot...

“In Britain, “Asian” signifies Middle Eastern, not Southeast Asian.”
No it doesn’t it generally denotes South Asian descent - Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi etc descent. Not Middle Eastern.

Gee, what would the response be if the complaint was, “The mascot is too black and too female.”

Well he COULD be representative of the indigenous peoples of England. But the world is only interested in indigenous peoples when they aren’t white.

Any relation?

It’s obvious that the left wants to eliminate White males. It’s interesting to hear them admit it.
To: Turbopilot
He’d probably have a problem with McGruff the Crime Dog too.
