β€˜Ordinary' emerges as the Racist Word of the Year following analysis of language used by far-right figures - Voice Online β€˜Ordinary’ has been named Racist Word of 2025 as it supports racist tropes when it is used as a synonym for β€˜white’

We have all heard coded language being used to limit who is considered worthy of empathy and respect and who is by default deemed unworthy
But did you know the β€˜Racist word of 2025’ is ORDINARY

Caribbean reparations leaders in β€˜historic’ first UK visit to press for justice CRC mission will seek to deepen public understanding of Britain’s colonial legacy and its lasting impact

When most British people don’t understand the role Britain played in slavery it’s not surprising reparations are not favoured by them….
Again it’s the role of missing information in our education…

This is a deliberate tactic used by both the Conservative & Labour parties- get a child of immigrants to announce increasingly restrictive & racist immigration policies - they think it’ll negate accusations of racismβ€¦πŸ€”

Thanks for your support πŸ‘πŸΌ and may amplifying just a tiny amount of the deliberately missing information help to disrupt the disinformation deliberately being spread to divide us

Understanding how ( a child’s) heritage is woven into our national story makes it easy to see why representation matters – and how recognising it can transform a pupil’s sense of #belonging.”
