Proposed removal of youth gang
This section seems undue and out of place considering various ethnic minorities in London such as African Caribbean have massive issues with gang related violence yet the African-Caribbean British people article doesn't mention any of these problems. I think it maybe time to balance things out? 90tillinfinitydue (talk) 07:26, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
40 times more likely
It says: "Bangladeshis living in London were 40 times more likely to be living in cramped and poor housing types of housing than anyone else in the country."
That claim is supported by the cited BBC report; but it doesn't make sense. An individual who is in fact living in poor housing is 100% certain to be living in poor housing. Perhaps it should be "than any other group in the country", and perhaps "up to 40 times more likely". But those words are not supported by the cited source. In particular, "40 times" looks like a suspiciously round number.
The Beeb is considered a [[WP:RS]], but that doesn't mean that anything from the Beeb is fine in wikipedia. The beeb, like any MSM source, employs writers and editors that can't parse a scientific report or construct a clear sentence,
The BBC claim comes from a report by the Policy Studies Institute, supposedly. Perhaps that report states the claim in clearer terms, and should be cited. But the BBC story doesn't link to the report, and I can't find it on the PSI website. MrDemeanour (talk) 13:49, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
- So nobody has clarified this claim, or provided a citation, or piped-up here. I've deleted the claim. MrDemeanour (talk) 13:54, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
