There are many discussions that are shut down because they can be misinterpreted as a ‘dog whistle’. This is how grooming gangs have managed to continue, how some unofficial schools have avoided inspections etc.

It's PC gone mad, I tell you.

And nothing to do with woefully underfunded public services and arbitrary performance targets.

A 'dog whistle' is a descriptive term, used to explain hidden racist messages, for example: Theresa May's decision as Home Secretary to have vans with 'Go Home' driven around London was a dog-whistle to racist voters.
A 'straw man' is a common form of argument based on refuting something that was not presented in the original discussion, such as grooming gangs are allowed to continue because of liberal PC behaviour, I'm just telling it like it is.
Also thanks to Punkture for the bang-on comment explaining stuff.

odd thing to say.
perhaps you could tell us which forms of racism you struggle to disagree with?
