Are Asians or people with Asian influence( in this case half European),just as racist as whites? Since whites are normally labelled as being institutionally racist.


NHS doctor accused in race case is young Tory


One of the NHS doctors accused by a black medical student of racism in a £300,000 court claim is a prominent young Conservative.

Richard Pinder, who is a leading member of the Conservative Medical Society which influences Tory policy on health issues, allegedly made racist remarks about black people to Virginia Jibowu while the pair were at King's College medical school.

In legal papers, Ms Jibowu, who is of Nigerian origin, says: "Mr Pinder asked me if black men were less intelligent than other people [and] if black people were more prone to becoming fat.

"He also said that he had stopped contacting a mutual friend because he had become 'too black'."

Dr Pinder - a junior doctor at St Thomas' Hospital - today said: "I am deeply shocked by these allegations. I strenuously deny acting in an offensive or racist way towards Ms Jibowu."

Another doctor, Emily Bowen, has been accused by Ms Jibowu of suggesting a killer disease be introduced into Africa to wipe out all the blacks.

Ms Jibowu enrolled on the college's six-year extended medical degree course for students from disadvantaged backgrounds in September 2002.

She says that students on her course had to wear a special badge, which led to their being bullied by counterparts on the regular five-year degree programme. King's College and the former students all strenuously deny Ms Jibowu's allegations. Her case is due to be heard later this year.

Ms Jibowu, of South Lambeth, is suing the college at Central London county court for harassment, race discrimination and victimisation. She says that while the students she has accused of racism graduated, the college refused to investigate many of her complaints, deliberately failed her and tried to stop her re-sitting the course. In legal papers submitted to the court, she says: "The college disregarded my complaints and graduated all students complained about.

"All of the alleged racists are now practising as doctors in the NHS."

Ms Jibowu is demanding more than £300,000 for loss of earnings, aggravated damages and injury to health and feelings.

A BLACK medical student who claims she was bullied by racists on her course is suing her college for more than £300,000.

Virginia Jibowu, 25, from South Lambeth, says that she was ostracised by white students in an "institutionally racist" environment at London's King's College medical school.

She says that while the students she has accused of racism graduated, the college refused to investigate many of her complaints, deliberately failed her and tried to stop her re-sitting the course.

Ms Jibowu, who is of Nigerian origin, says that fellow students refused to shop, eat or share a shower-room with her in their accommodation.

She alleges that one woman student suggested introducing a killer disease into Africa to wipe out all blacks.

Ms Jibowu is suing the college, which is part of the University of London, at Central London County Court for harassment, race discrimination and victimisation.

In legal papers submitted to the court, she said: "All of the alleged racists are now practising as doctors in the NHS. This can only ingrain the problem of institutional racism within the medical practice."
