People don’t realise how common this is in our society unless you are a minority. Its everywhere. The state abuses disabled people via the DWP, the doctors do the same to disabled people by refusing to accept they are disabled, access is awful everywhere and people with wheelchairs fail to get on buses because the spot is taken by a pram. Then there is all the attacks and verbal abuse on the streets from random people.
Despite whatever self reported level of discrimination the UK gets as one of the best in the world any minority in this country can tell you how many times a day they are abused by someone else. Its every single day. The Police, NHS and other state functions all do it. Most of the time there are no consequences, its so common infact its not ever news. Its hard to accept this basic reality as someone who isn’t a constant victim of our society but if you listen to the people who are the victims of this stuff its relentless.
