Sadiq Khan’s ‘race pay gap’ will disappear without the help of the diversity commissars

London’s Mayor Sadiq Khan has found a new way to virtue-signal about the non-existent problem of institutional oppression: a ‘race pay audit’, which has found that there is ‘race pay gap’. The evidence for such a gap, however, is flimsy and falls apart on a cursory inspection.

[…] The race pay gap is the latest attempt by Leftists desperately seeking evidence to hold together their collapsing narrative that British society is institutionally racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic and Islamophobic, and that classes of millions of oppressed victims need their help. Khan the Social Justice Warrior is ready to jump into the breach declaring: ‘This sort of injustice takes many years to develop and it becomes deeply entrenched!’ and he is ‘determined to confront this inequality!’

The financial beneficiaries are likely to be in the ‘Equality, Diversity and Inclusion’ industry. There is an army of outfits which run courses on this theme and will very happily train your staff, school, university or church about how they are all subconscious racists or sexists and how they need to change their attitudes and speech to deal with the greatest sin of anyone belonging to a privileged class such as men or white people: ‘unconscious bias’.

Heaven forbid that you have intersectional privilege and are, for example, a straight, white, Christian male. If so, you are an oppressor on multiple levels, even if you didn’t know it and think kindly of everyone, and you need urgent re-programming which equality, diversity and inclusion officers will carry out for a handsome fee paid ultimately by taxpayers and consumers – you and me.
