Ban Newspapers & E-news articles from refering to people by thier race/religion.
For safety we need to stop the spread of hate crime and hate in general towards selected groups. The UK News should be informing all citizens of current news, instead, it's become one of the main causes of separating the British public due to articles always highlighting select races and religions.
News articles have been pushing the islamophobic narrative by highlighting religion/ethnicity in titles. Other articles have no mention of race or ethnicity when it's not in relation to a muslim/minority race.

You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The press, which is self-regulating, is already required to avoid prejudicial or pejorative references to an individual's race or religion according to the Independent Press Standard's Organisation (IPSO) Editor's Code of Practice: www.ipso.co.uk/editors-code-of-practice/#Discrimination.
You could sign this petition calling for our current system of self-regulation to be replaced by a statutory regulator, if that's what you want to happen: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/300246.
