//Not so, why do you think that they have picked Nigerians, for traffic wardens?
Any argument with them, and they will soon shout 'Racism' and you will finish up with much more than a parking ticket. //
Obviously, you didn't watch the CH4 documentary, "Confessions Of A Traffic Warden" last year.
Here's a synopsis (another example of white racism, casually ignored in order to make an invalid point? Yep...different year, same song):
Another man at bruising war with the world around him was richly observed in Olly Lambert’s powerful Confessions of a Traffic Warden, which followed the journey of Durga, originally from Nepal, to becoming a warden in Westminster. He began, brimming with excitement about the job being a means to discovering what was so great about his beloved Britain; he would see the foundations of the nation he so admired. By the end — after being abused, ridiculed and having the spectre of ticket targets to meet — he was sitting in the park, questioning the meaning of life and misquoting his touchstone, Shakespeare: “To issue or not to issue a PCN? That is the question”.
It was heartbreaking and shaming, especially as we saw over and over again the most disgusting, virulent racism (“F*** off you coon”) and rudeness directed at the wardens. But this was a documentary of many layers, and Lambert also revealed a genuine reason to dislike traffic wardens unconnected to where they came from: many seem to be in a demented race to hand out as many tickets as possible. Despite not being able to operate his ticketing machinery, despite his bafflement at the punitive principle of his job, Durga earned his spurs and got the job. But you saw his soul die a thousand howling deaths.
