oowee Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 34 minutes ago, Saltings said: now looking for ethnic blood adverts for ethnic illness excuse my ignorance i always thought a blood donation from anyone could help anyone compatible without a label i dont know i may be wrong have not donated since chemo i dont want give anyone my bad if i need some it has to be radiated i have been told Your excused. The increased demand for some rare subtypes, such as Ro, that are more common in people of Black heritage means we need more black people to become blood donors. Demand for these subtypes is growing as more people have regular transfusions to treat blood disorders such as sickle cell. Subtypes are important when someone has regular transfusions as they need blood that matches their own as closely as possible. 1 hour ago, billytheghillie said: I have also noticed a lot of adverts on the telly at the moment have coloured actors in them. ?

AVB Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 I am fed up with it all to be honest. My daughter (15) is suffering racial harassment at school from a black girl. Continual digs at her being a ‘privileged white girl’ and every innocent comment my daughter makes is met with comments such as “you’re only saying that because I am black”. I’ve complained to the school but they are frightened to do anything for fear of being accused of being racist. They say they will address it but haven’t so far. I guarantee if the boot was on the other foot my daughter would be out on her ear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I became best mates with someone - I knocked one or two kinds out of him after a disagreement walking home from school and then stopped and took him home while holding his nose to stop the blood!!!

The Heron Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 I don't know why the concern about climate change, basically we're stuffed it's irreversible and the best we can do is to slow down the inevitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
