Equalities tsar Trevor Phillips says HR must be stripped of diversity role

I become rather saddened in many ways when I watch the arguments on Diversity Issues as so many of the comments made are just wasted talk and from what I have observed and learnt over the years can be termed often as just "Lip Service".

I have worked in many parts of the world and been at the heart of what really goes on in peoples minds and the whole topic of Diversity has hardly had the surface even scratched here in the UK.

Legislation and Laws are the sticks to beat those blatantly being either Rascist or Discriminatory in whatever form but unfortunately it is what exists in the Psyche of people that must somehow be tackled.

We can watch HR people jumping around in order to see that their Policies and Procedures are being adhered to and we can see the many groups purporting to act for Diversity in so many arenas but none ever get to the real root of the problem which is inbred thinking patterns in the mind.

The whole pattern that needs looking closely at is why do people think the way that they do, Why do some have vendettas against women and why would some have bad feeling against men ?   Why would so many have Rascist  feelings and then again in reverse why would so many Minorities harbour such deep feelings about western or white people ?

I have found over the years that most problems come down to mutual respect for one another.  I could write a book on myself when in the Middle East and just helping some Asian People.Thai People and some Filipino groups into some decent accommodation that their appreciation was unbelievable and I was almost revered and the work effort increased substantially.

But this mutual respect must be earnt and other factors get in the way such as Terrorist Acts which darken feelings towards others or groups taking benefits that they should not get does not help the mindset.  Then others who appear to have nice homes while others appear to be suffering and then there is the situation where others appear to have treatment better than another group and so it goes on.  It is all the little inequalities that need to be swept out to start with and then some mutual respect to be generated which will not be easy.

I have talked very openly to so many Nationalities as well as Females and many others and this underlying "Hearts and Minds" is at the centre of the problems, not what is said but what is thought and often unsaid but often the hidden actions are never fully realised.

The Law is a protector but not an answer and the answer does not lie in people shouting from the Roof Tops of how much they love each other, or do they ? 

I am sure that I could set out some ideas to start the healing process but it could take time and really who wants to listen ?
