  1. ​ @bdenbhurrito  My conclusion is what what she said wasn't really all that bad. I'm white and wasn't offended by it - rather it's a very weak point that's all. Her opinion really, no hate or bigotry against ANY of the groups she mentioned. Not even the group who the media are by far the most protective of.

  2. They seem to matter an awful lot, since I don't hear the words "anti-irishism" or "anti-travellerism" flying all over the media today.

  3.  @radman8321  I think it's clear what the media and race activists mean by "person of colour". It serves a purpose to separate first-nation British communities from their colonisers.

  4. Of course there is a hierarchy of racism, just as there is a hierarchy of every identity. If you're a black trans woman, roll an extra dice. If you're a straight white man, miss a turn. These are the rules of the game.

  5. Could it be that Novara's views are antisemitism? After all, it lurks everywhere, in politics, under the bed, in my lemon cheesecake, as the media tell us constantly.

  6.  @GregOrCreg  Abbott mentioned white people, the irish, jews and travellers all equally. And yet the entire media conversation about anti-semitism.

  7. You'd think so right? But where do I complain that I missed out on a job because my group wasn't high up on the company's diversity quota?

  8.  @mattjones1776  If you don't know about it, it's called DEI. Look it up. And most governments and institutions sanction these policies. In fact, orgnisations like the IMF, NATO, EU insist on it these days and I'm sure the unions you mention also do.

  9. Unless the victim is white, obviously.

  10.  @forestsunset9617  Oh I work with black and brown guys regularly. It comes up quite a lot because when the radio news is on at work it's just unavoidable. The media want us all to be obsessed with race and on edge about what we say the whole time and almost everyone I ever meet, regardless of their skin colour, is sick and tired of it.

  11. But she mentioned the unmentionable word.

  12. As a far-right, I'm rolling my eyes as much as you are. For different reasons of course.
