Burden of proof impossible to resolve[edit]

Moved from User talk:The joy of all things

Note that the claims Azeem made about the inefficacy of the investigation sound well-founded. In line with institutional or corporate racism civil cases raised in Europe and the US, the burden of proof on the plaintiff is an easy way to get dismissal of claims. This will largely be because racial slurs are used directly at one person by another. That means when the claimant calls out the slur, often the only person who can corroborate the incident is the accused racist. If they deny it happened and there are no independent witnesses, the challenge can be dismissed with ‘insufficient evidence’. If the comment or action took place within a crowded area or board room where others also support the racist comments/viewpoint - those witnesses will likely ‘not remember’ or will fail to corroborate the victim’s version of events. This is the very nature of institutional racism - so how can it be proven? The tone of text on this page seems unbiased, but it could take an additional note of this tautology at the heart of this investigation into his claims.

Mythophobe Unsure what exactly you are getting at, but as this relates directly to this article, I have moved it here so other editors can comment if necessary. Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 21:03, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
