That's why I say it's divisive, because it is.
Same as Bulut is, I assume, our first Muslim manager. Is that what we should care about most?
How about reports on Mr Gethings policies, or just announcing him as the winner without referencing his skin colour.
The problem here is that when it's done, it's done by others too. So a criminal becomes a black criminal or a Polish criminal or a gypsy criminal etc etc.
It's not about these things not mattering. It's about whether they should be considering the most important issue, the defining part of someone's personality.
I would suggest they shouldnt.
