Probably something to do with the fact that discrimination is only seen by the bleaters as being something that only happens against those of a different culture & colour. As your boy's white, British, Christian (I assume protestant), well that's just your problem & you've got to get on with it, seems to be the attitude.

Now, had they said it against someone who speaks differently or has a skin tone different to white, there would've been outrage one would assume & every type of equalities enforcer would be out in support of the poor offended.

I may be wrong & way of the mark, but as a Brit abroad, looking in to Uk today that's how it appears to be to me.
