Don't like Nigel but he didn't say anything wrong. The world has gone like that. I ticked a patient down as Caucasian a few months ago and they went insane cause one of their grandparents was a different race!

I think certain things like black face, nazi costumes are extremely offensive but if your kid was white and favourite princess was say Tiana who is black what's wrong with them dressing up as her minus changing their skin colour !

Wish nella spoke about it rather than shutting Nigel off like that and just ignoring him. So childish

I would shut Nigel Farage down if he started talking shite about how it’s not fair that white people can’t dress as a stereotype of a Mexican person. I wouldn’t dignify that with a conversation.

That was exactly Nella’s argument, that you can use/say things related to other cultures in the right context but it’s racist to go too far and begin changing your physical appearance to make yourself look a different race or act/dress in a way that mocks another culture.

Also re someone getting cross because you marked them as just white- their argument is valid as they clearly aren’t just fully Caucasian if they have a grandparent who’s a different race.

I know Nella’s annoying but I can’t believe people are criticising her for standing up to someone who is well known for holding racist and xenophobic views.

I deal with misgendering patients and race all the time in work. Unfortunately when we do bloods we have to send them to Pathology with their assigned gender ticked.. the drama I've had a number of times now with this but then again I'm cisgender so don't understand what they go through you know ?

I said all that as a white person so I've no idea what it feels like to be a poc but I think the world has gone a bit backwards.

My niece dressed up as Moana last year and she is THREE and a parent of a child in the class complained 🤣 she just had her outfit on !! 🤨

I loved that Nigel asked about that. It's a good thing to ask and would have been a good discussion.

Omg wtaf imagine them complaining about a three year old that is ridiculous. 😭 If anything surely it’s nice that little kids are interested in characters from other countries?
 
I think Nella is a prime example of someone who exists in their own limited echo chamber. She's so used to her followers lapping up everything she says, massaging her ego and kissing her arse that she assumes that blind adoration will easily transfer from her social media vortex into the real world. She thinks that IS the real world. Culture shock pending....

Josie sucking her thumb is gross

I wonder why she does it? I stopped sucking my thumb at age 6 and I thought that was a long time to be sucking my thumb. Maybe it is just a habit that she never stopped? because it seems to be when she is sleeping and when she first wakes up that she does it

Afraid I have to disagree - I think her own behaviour has made her look exactly like an ‘angry black woman’ - her tantrum with Fred & then giving Nigel the silent treatment, she needs to grow up and have a proper 2 sided conversation with people instead of just stomping away in a huff when people disagree with her

Women don’t owe twatty men a two-sided conversation.

Men pretending to be women is offensive appropriation of women’s identity in the same way that it would be offensive for a white person to appropriate a racial characteristic.
I honestly can’t believe what I’m reading on this thread. People saying they love hearing what Nigel has to say and worrying about his hurty feelings because a black woman wont let him be racist towards her.

Do we all have to agree with you?
