"Institutional" not the focus of the article
[edit]The most recent statement used in this article for "institutional" (as quoted) racism is from 1998, yet the article lead suggests this is what the article is about. Can there be a more recent one to justify this title, as opposed to what appears to me to be the more adequate title (for content) of "Racism in the Metropolitan Police", with a subsection titled "Institutional racism"?
I read that this idea of "institutional" was the crux of the deletion debate, and keepers seem to have recognised this. Deletion would clearly be too far, not allowing for the addressing of examples of racism by groups/individuals within the institution, as is standard. However, the suggestions from the deletion debate have not been enacted (especially renaming, as no one seems opposed to [if someone has articles suggesting the institutional racism and individual racism both deserve their own articles (there must be some, I am sure this was in the news a bit ago), then that seems sensible too...).
Regardless, if this stands (i.e., an article specifically on institutional racism), then where does the individual racism go? EPEAviator (talk) 15:01, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
