Your view in the highlighted paragraph is a direct challenge to freedom of expression. It is a terrible thing that we have to be afraid of using the terms "Micks", "Jocks", "Frogs", "Krauts" in an appropriate context. Also comedies such as you listed and in particular "Mind your language" unjustifiably provoke shock/horror among the wretched woke community. The woke community want our humour (part of British culture without doubt) to be stunted, a consequence of which could be the extinction of parody as both comedy and political observation.

The "black" case is actually very different. Mistreatment by the Police in particular is a complaint that needs to be resolved by a government actually delivering "levelling up" - if they know how to do it. I suppose that black people resent past exploitation by white people even though it is irrational in the present day context - but there nevertheless. When levelled up, all that will pass.

But some people in this thread are unwise to jump onto the multicultural bandwagon as the black case is one that stands out on its own.

Are you seriously trying to justify 'Mind your language' as not racist ?

2) If allowed behaviour is based upon race, than that is the very definition of RACIST. Using an example of a jokey term is just ridiculous and deliberately dodges the point. They're not using the words in a personal sense, but often in a general and derogatory manner. If they're using it in a personal manner, why can't everybody use it in a personal manner? Not saying they should, but is unsurprising hypocritical to allow one, but not the other.
3) Caricatures have been made of just about EVERY group, of WHATEVER race. Costumes, comedy characters, fancy dress, etc come from ALL races. NOTHING exclusively anti-non-white about any of it.
4) People HAVE been forced out because they don't support the violent actions. Try publicly criticising it and see what happens. Love to know of examples of where that HASN'T happened.


If Black people need protection, it is from THEMSELVES. The FACTS firmly back that up. White people aren't magically immune from being attacked.



Was that racist?

Black people need protecting from themselves. I've read it all now.



I cant quite believe you've written that utter pile of steaming Mod (Chris) Please behave.
