I thought you were all in favour of preferential treatment for "indigenous groups", or have I missed something?
You must have missed something...
Care to spell it out?
I would if I knew what you were talking about.
Whatever it is that you tell me I must have missed.
Right, then. I infer from what you have written on this blog and elsewhere that you believe the "indigenous Britons" - would you remind me how you define them, again? - should have preferential treatment in the UK, given that they are somehow disadvantaged as things stand. Feel free to correct me at any stage if I am misrepresenting your position.
However, you seem to be implying here that the indigenous population of another country should not receive similar preferential treatment, despite similar, if not more severe, apparent disadvantages.
I was simply wondering how this apparent inconsistency could possibly be explained.

For a start, by addressing who created these businesses in the first place.
I have always said that I want indigenous people to be treated equally.
