Why exactly is it that the journalists and politicians who claim to be most proud of multicultural, multiethnic Britain seem to be the ones most determined to tear it apart?

To read the newspapers, you might sometimes think a deep cover cell of white separatists is secretly running the show. Why else would left wing politicians and newspapers who supposedly want us to pull together as one spend their time pumping out racial agitprop in their never-ending search for attention? Why else would they emphasise division and mistrust, undermine institutions, and blatantly mislead people about the country they live in if not to advance a cause which benefits from these things?
