Read the original article on observer.co.uk (opens in a new tab)Kenan Malik's column argues that the census should remove the "white English" category rather than add "Black English" and "Asian English" boxes, as Josh Babarinde's bill proposes. A Guardian column on the same bill also describes it as a bid to let Black people identify as English on the census. Malik describes the online far right by what its members wrote and did, and no finding against the column was put forward for checking.
Opinion piece: read for false claims of fact and for fairness to the people it names, not for its opinions.
“one nativist organisation even reporting Babarinde to the police for “ hate speech ””
