Omg I must be a secret lesbian then! I just don’t know it yet. I’m 5’11”. With size 8 feet. I always worry that wearing biker boots make me look like a lesbian. Well now I know it’s my height. Thanks tattle.

Move to America and be surprised at the amount of open racism towards white people. For real. Wrapping paper, pjs, black unicorns (I didn’t know unicorns were any colour), sweets, clothing, basically anything which can be marketed is marketed towards a black market saying “black and proud!” It’s everywhere here.
I’m all for that but sometimes it super exclusionary. I’ve had my daughter come home from school saying she’s not allowed to do something because it’s not for “her” meaning because she’s not black. She even said she wished she was black when she was 6. It made me so sad.

LOL why would you worry about looking like a lesbian and why does anything not marketed directly at you, or people like you, threaten you? Your daughter being taught to appreciate, rather than appropriate, other cultures isn’t the same as her experiencing racism lmao

ETA like the fact it either hasn’t gone through your head that black and/or lesbian tattlers might read your post and think ‘wtf?!’, or it has and you just don’t care, is what people mean they talk about privilege and is why racism against white people just isn’t a thing. Prejudice maybe, but it’s not racism.

EETA bloody hell there’s even a white unicorn included in the image you attach! Be honest with yourself and admit you’re threatened by the representation of people who don’t look / live like you, because then you can work on it and prevent passing on the same insecurities and prejudices to your child. You will both be happier for it.

Why on earth would you be offended by a black cuddly toy ?
 
Yes dear, racism is wrapping paper.

i was trying to think if there are anymore working class actors out there. I recently really enjoyed Black Doves so I had a look and I don't think Ben Whishaw is a posho but he has the look of a posho. Perhaps this is the new way to get ahead in acting… look posh.

That person is being very over sensitive but "it's not racism, it's prejudice" is a distinction without a difference.

He burgled the house and stole Paul Youngs guitar collection worth £4,000 at the time, a Platinum Disc and something with the voice of his now late wife on it, amongst other thing and got 2 years for it. PY got most of it back.

I think that what stuck with me was that he was identified from a discarded cigarette butt in the bedroom. So not only did he utterly violate their home by breaking in but also took an extra step of disregard by having casual fags during the burglary. Scum bag.

Also am aware I’ve derailed so in the spirit of moving on and bringing us back on topic, on a night out yeaaaaars ago, I once got talking to a rough sleeper who claimed he was Gordon Ramsey’s brother. I remember his name was Reggie and he had a brick phone and gave me his number (I know I’m not covering myself in glory here, poor bloke probably just wanted to be left alone).

He said he hadn’t talked to Gordon in years and they had a big falling out and he came across as very sad and angry about it. Bearing in mind I was absolutely smashed and am a gullible mug who tends to just believe what people tell me. I googled it the next day and GR is estranged from his brother who is called Reggie, who (at that time) was a long term drug addict, so it could be true, or he might have been some random who knew this and thought telling stupid drunk girls he was GR’s hard done by abandoned brother would get him a couple of quid.

there you go, perhaps there’s something more up to date out there but this was about the 4th result after some British Pathe files.

I hadn't realised he'd stolen so much and disregarded a ciggie. I honestly thought it was a bike and that was bad enough. What a bastard.

That is the definition of insitutional racism. It's just been broadly applied to everything by people who want to excuse their own racism.

Black unicorns aren't racist. Jamie Foxx talking down white women is racist. All of the endless tweets and IG posts about how white people are evil or ugly or whatever are all racist.

Minorities can be racist to each other but according to that definition, an asian person using the n-word isn't racist, nor is a black person beating up a middle eastern person because they're middle eastern. It's nonsense.

To also keep on track, I believe Gordon's brother has/did have serious substance abuse issues so maybe it was him.

Apparently burglars often use the loo in their victims' houses, and frequently don't flush. They've been caught via DNA this way.

I don't know about posh (he might be) but he looked like something out of Planet of the Apes with all that hair everywhere, it was very distracting.
