Soooo on the one side we have people making a casual observation about the lack of people of colour in the live audience of a TV show shot in a country with 90+% non-white people and on the other side we have... Leave voters (dismissing it as irrelevant and making jokes). Interesting.

Oh, do fuck off.

Also, you do realise calling non whites "people of colour" or "coloured" is hideously racist...right?

Coloured is, but he didn't say that, people of colour is the correct term.

 

[caLLous]

"People of colour" is, if anything, anti-racist and not the same thing as "coloured" at all.

 

[Raven]

Coloured is, but he didn't say that, people of colour is the correct term.

No, it isn't. You can't just lump everyone who isn't white into the same basket and give them a cover-all label. Changing the words around doesn't change it.

 

[Raven]

But anyway, can you morons take you OUTRAGE to the twitter echo chamber or something? Plenty of equally offended SJWs there.

 

[Scouse]

No, it isn't.

Read the link. Yes it is.

Are you able to find your arse with both your hands?

 

[Raven]

Read the link. Yes it is.

Are you able to find your arse with both your hands?

Yes, horribly written, isn't it? The word is an Americanism, used by Americans who have a frightening, endemic problem with ethnic minorities. Just because it is on the internet, does not make it acceptable.

 

[Scouse]

Doesn't matter if it's an Americanism. It's the english term now used globally (including in the UK), it's not "horribly racist" as you said.

When you're obviously, clearly, undisputably wrong, why do you have such a problem admitting it?

 

[Raven]

No, always happy to admit to error. In this case I am not wrong. I am sure Callous doesn't think of himself as racist and probably isn't. He has just made the fatal error of saying something a bit dodgy that despite your desperate rambling, is a racist term. It also proves my point wonderfully, if you are forever trying to find something to be offended by, you won't spend much time finding it.

I have never heard anyone refer to non whites as "people of colour" except from people who are institutionally racist. I think you will find you need to just refer to them as "people" seeing as (despite your assertion) they are simply that, people.

But again...who the fuck cares!

The odd funny

Not a political or social statement and like normal people they probably didn't bother with a race quota or even give it any thought, because, you know, why would they?

 

[Gwadien]

I like it how Callous pointed out that some people are Leave voters - ie right wing and Raven has resorted to telling us to fuck off.

Oh the irony.

See Akala link.

Racism at the ground is pointless we need to remove any sense of inequality in order to achieve equality.

I just thought that the production team would have been more careful especially since they started to lay into a black president with an almost fully white audience, especially knowing the divided history of South Africa.

I mean what about the black people watching it thinking 'oh yes seen this before' sure you might tell them to suck it up and it's a joke, but WHAT their response is is a completely different kettle of fish imo.

 

[caLLous]

No, always happy to admit to error.

Nope, you just go quiet and wait for the conversation to move on before re-engaging.

Why didn't you just say you've never heard it?! Case closed! If that's the case then let's just head on over and rewrite that Wikipedia article and all the other places that state that person/people of colour is the preferred term and that it was actually adopted by people of colour (!) to fight back against oppression.

 

[Raven]

The "fuck off" is because it is a ludicrous statement that doesn't warrant anything else. A statement from someone who is just trying to score points because they are literally unable to come up with their own argument and even if they could, are completely incapable of backing it up.

Once again falling back onto the good old fashioned 52% of the UK is racist bullshit. The last call of the defeated. Hilariously pathetic and shows that they have not learnt anything.

Er. Not sure about you but there is no fullstop in the statement. "I have never heard anyone refer to non whites as "people of colour" except from people who are institutionally racist."

You're talking bollocks again, /sadface

Let's put it into words you might understand. You are wrong here, you are usually wrong and you are incapable of argument or discussion.

The fact that you think 52% of the population are racist pretty much proves that, we are one of the most racially diverse and accepting countries on the planet.

You wonder why people cannot be arsed to engage with your idiotic ideas? Have a look at yourself.

 

[caLLous]

I never said anybody is racist, I just noticed that all of our more vocal Leave voters fell on one side of this conversation and found it interesting. You keep telling us you voted Remain so I have no idea why you're getting so upset.

If we should call people of colour (!) "people" as you suggested earlier, surely you calling them "non whites" is "hideously racist" as well?

 

[Scouse]

He has just made the fatal error of saying something a bit dodgy that despite your desperate rambling, is a racist term.

The "Institutionally Racist" Barack Obama referring to "young people of colour" on Letterman.

You really are a knuckle-dragging retard Raven.

 

[Raven]

Some black people call each other *****... so that makes it perfectly fine then!

You are not capable of seeing things in shades of grey, its been established.

 

[Raven]

The "Institutionally Racist" Barack Obama referring to "young people of colour" on Letterman.

You really are a knuckle-dragging retard Raven.

I will call you fuckwit because you are a proven deluded hypocrite who refuses to live the way he insists others do.

and you call me a retard because I have a differing opinion.

Yeah, the left, in all its glory.

 

[Scouse]

I have a differing opinion.

It's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of fact.

 

[Raven]

No, it isn't.

They were factually refereed to in all sorts of horrible terms, doesn't make it any less racist.

(Final word because I can't be arsed with yet another circular argument with you and your little bitch)

 

[Scouse]

I'm sorry @Raven.

I guess Barack Obama, all the people of colour who refer to themselves as "people of colour", all the professional political and social commentators the world over who use that exact term to refer to people of colour are institutionally racist, whilst yourself, being so academically gifted that you didn't even make an "F" in CSE woodwork, are clearly the natural arbiter of the finer points and nuance of the English language.

I stand corrected and feel like a fool.

 

[Job]

It's all a bit silly because white people are much more coloured than black people.
White skin, brown moles, red blood, purple veins and considerably more blond/red hair.
Black people should actually be called people of no colour..but hey...whatever.

Where was the racist comment? There wasn't one aimed at anyone here. It was a comment about the show...

Jesus man, take a breath when you respond, I can smell your anger.

 

[Job]

I can just see black people laughing their cocks off, at changing the official term every few years and watching the white liberal, pseudo inclusives blowing a fuse trying to be on the right side of an imaginary fence.

 

[Job]

And here's one of them...just fuckin lol.

[Raven]

@Scouse, you really are the epitome of what is so broken about the left in this country, if anyone needs a demonstration of how utterly contemptible you really are, they just need to read your nasty little post history. Disgusting little person, so bitter and twisted that you have to project your lifes failings onto other people.

I have never shied away from the fact that I would rather have done drugs at school than school but even then I am doing a degree on-top of a 45 hour week (and smashing it, so far) What have you done?

Back on ignore you go! You bitter, angry little twerp.

 

[Scouse]

You started with the insults @Raven. As always.

Don't dish it out if you can't take it.

They didn't lay into Zuma because he was black, they laid into Zuma because he's a fucking idiot.

 

[Scouse]

He didn't say they did.
