This is better than the lies perpetrated by Sashi Tharoor - "45Trillion$ Loot by the British of Indians"

Scotland health minister’s speech about racial injustice and lack of diversity in politics misrepresented online

 

Social media users have misrepresented the speech. Yousaf delivered the monologue on June 10, 2020, when he was then Scotland’s justice minister, and when protests had swept across world after the murder of George Floyd, an African American man, at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer.
 
Yousaf’s speech was given as part of a wider discussion about racial injustice and the lack of people of colour in positions of power in the Scottish Parliament and Government. The speech did not assert that white people make up too large a proportion of Scotland’s overall population.
 
The full monologue can be watched here (from 1:56:10 to 2:05:22) and the full transcript can be found here.
 
Prior to when the 55-second clip begins, Yousaf says he is angry about “once again (being) confronted with scenes of horrific racial injustice” and that “in 2020 we are still dealing with overt racism, subtle racism, institutional racism and structural racism”.
 
“Forget the racial jibes and the slurs that we still have to put up with; racism is literally killing minorities, as we have all seen… however, racism does not only exist in the United States,” the politician added. “Scotland is not immune… (it) has a problem of structural racism… we can take the Parliament as an example. More than 300 MSPs have come to and gone from this Parliament—our nation’s Parliament. In 20 years, there has not been a single black member of the Scottish Parliament, to our shame; there has not been a single woman MSP of colour, to our shame; and the only four ethnic minority MSPs have all been Scots Asian males.”
