Spoken like a true right winger. Of course its offensive and racist. Blackface was a humiliation for all black people regardless of its county of origin, it attacked people for their skin colour not their nationality. Do you think dressing up as Hitler and claiming its “for fun” is somehow going to make the jew find it less offensive? Do you think the American Indian will find it cute when he sees a small boy dressed up as a cowboy and reminded who slaughtered his ancestors and stole their land? Are Asians supposed to turn a blind eye when you wear clothes that are the product of slave wages? Regardless of you opinion, it doesnt cost you anything not to wear blackface, you dont lose anything by not wearing it. For a black person they are reminded of the humiliation, subjugation and oppression their ancestors suffered. Please check your white privilege and work harder to overcome your implicit bias.

+x+xIn the grand scheme of things it isn't that important & quite trivial to be honest. In the scheme of things the President of the United States went for a stroll outside in a place where violence, looting & arson was rampant. I'm sure his security guys did what they had to do. I personally couldn't really give a shit & dwelling on it is just whiny nitpicking for the sake of it. Says you. Others say it was peaceful. In the 'grand scheme of things' it's about the truth. So you missed the literally hundreds of clips of people looting & burning? You missed the church that he went to was set on fire? 2+2 does not equal 5.

😂 fuck me dead, you're right this isn't even a joke.
You seriously have to be sick in the head of you have a problem with this cartoon, and want it removed.
Ok. The earlier article was more about the boy Rider.
The whole take Chase out is ridiculous...

The only exceptions have been South Park (Wheel of Fortune, people who annoy you) and RDJ (Tropic Thunder). Context is important.

Surely all comedy is offensive to some degree. Putting aside taking the piss out of Irish people, your mother in law, blondes for a minute. Observational comedy, probably the only snowflake approved type, is ripping the piss out of something that someone is doing that is weird or counterintuitive. And by default that person/s could be offended by their characterisation. I mean fuck a duck things are going from bad to worse.

Just wondering, given your Italian heritage, does the Italian chef on the Simpsons cause you grief, anguish and offence. Genuine question.

It blows my mind when the Twitter pile on starts that one of these companies just doesn't issue a statement and say 'noted but we're not pulling it'. I'd imagine a steaming service standing up to virtue signalling SJWs would see a big uptake for sticking it up these clowns.

+xJust wondering, given your Italian heritage, does the Italian chef on the Simpsons cause you grief, anguish and offence. Genuine question. I'll answer that for you. No. Sidetrack, I can't remember if it was this thread, or another one, where mcjules said something along the lines of "Even if I don't agree with it, it should still be around for archival purposes" That's pretty much what I agree with around "things that outrage me". BTW, everything that's being involved in this cancel culture doesn't outrage me. Some of it is cringe (some of Lilley's stuff for example), but it doesn't outrage me. Again, that probably speaks more of my own culture than the content. But, to use Lilley as an example again, people darkening their skin to ridicule a race, or a person who is a stereotype of a race, probably isn't a good thing. Stories like a young kid who loves Nic Naitanui (even though he plays a devil sport) wanting to be just like him, are a little different. Context is king.

Now I'm wondering if an Italian mate of yours found it offensive who's the final arbiter. I mean if he creates a ruckus on Twitter and there's a pile on then he'll probably get his way. Doesn't make it right though. Funny how every stereotype on the Simpsons is fine but only Apu is a problem that needs addressing.

+xI'll never forget that flog Harry Connick Jr ragging on the Indian fellas doing a Michael Jackson skit on Hey Hey
That was absurd. A WHITE MALE telling PEOPLE OF COLOUR (they were Sri Lankan) about racism, when that very white man had darkened his skin with make up and put on a curly haired wig to play a black preacher on Saturday Night Live. Isn't that the very definition of whitesplaining?

Having read the explanation as to why many south asians don't like Apu, I can definitely relate when the only characters of your ethnicity are negative stereotypes though. Was mostly that way growing up in the 80s. I still don't see why its such a big deal if: 1. someone has an opinion 2. a group of others agree 3. a studio listens and makes changes accordingly Matt Groening and the simpsons writers changing who Apu is and who voices him in future episodes is not the end of the world in my opinion. Or is it that you feel like you're being labelled a racist because you liked the character?

Or is it that you feel like you're being labelled a racist because you liked the character? But if you’re gonna change Apu, then you have to change Bumblebee Man as that was a crude caricature of a Mexican. You also have change the Italian chef, police officers Eddie, Lou and Chief Wiggum, the scenes where Homer feasts on seafood because that’s offensive to vegans, the scenes where Homer eats beef because that’s offensive to Hindus, the Christmas specials which might offend Muslims and Jews. You have to change Homer being fat because that reinforces stereotypes about overweight people being addicted to food. And why is Marge a bored housewife? Misogyny! And the worst one of all.. the Australia episode where they reinforced all kinds of offensive cultural stereotypes such as dingos eating babies, riding kangaroos and generally portraying Australians as backward and inbreds. Oh I cried for days! 😭 If you’re gonna spend your life pandering to minorities why stop at Apu? Literally you could get every single show banned on TV on the basis that “someone has an opinion.. and a group of others agree”.
What a boring miserable, bleak, joyless little world you and your kind are creating mcjules.

The sheer absurdity of the stereotype is what makes it humorous, at least to me. Saying "the studio listened and agreed" isn't really accurate. The show originally defended it's use of Apu and only conceded defeat following a torrent of abuse about the show being racist etc. That's not "having an opinion". If a kid at school stops wearing his favourite red shirt because the other kids keep bullying him about it is that right? It's essentially the same thing here, using the "racist" card to force what you want on others.

+x+x+xTurns out the narrative of police tear-gassing 'peaceful' protestors to give POTUS a photo op was false. Surprise, surprise. - US Park Police had no knowledge that Trump would be coming. - Protestors were asked to disperse three times. - Some protestors threw bricks and bottles at the police. It appears the term 'peaceful protestors' has taken a new meaning in recent times. - Why were police not wearing gas masks if they were using tear gas? Think logically. - If the police really were told to use tear gas to give POTUS his so-called photo opportunity, why would they use tear gas on the street where he'd be soon walking? Again, think logically. As it happened, the police had to use smoke canisters to disperse the violent mob. Always question the MSM narrative. I'm not 100% sure of this (had heard it mentioned before but not yet seen reliable links to back it up) HOWEVER- Last week I was at a mates' and his missus put CNN on because "she likes to get an idea from them (the Americans) what's going on". I tried to point out that it's CNN and I'd take most of what they said with a grain of salt, but I don't know if she got what I meant by it. So I sat and watched... And holy shit...just half an hour was ridiculous enough. I can completely understand how somebody who takes a "news" channel like that seriously could hold the paranoid views of Trump/ Republicans that they do. There was an entire panel of them who spent the better part of 10 minutes criticising the way he held that Bible in front of the church FFS. They then contrasted it, full of praise for Biden attending a black church service (with the mask down around his chin!). I hope for Joe's sake the people in attendance were all real black people and not those fake ones who'd vote Republican... They also mentioned how the "peaceful protestors" had been tear-gassed and showed the same footage of a group of demonstrators harmlessly walking along a street at least twice. Straight away I wondered if there was more to this story than they were letting on? Just because they say "peaceful protestors" and show a brief clip to back it up doesn't mean it's true. Because I knew straight away with no doubt whatsoever that had this exact incident happened under Obama, they'd instead be berating the protestors for showing such "disrespect" to the President and blocking his path and how such people were a threat to American society- and millions of people would be frothing at the mouth on Occupy Democrats and NowThis politics and people on my Fb would follow suit... This is the thing with MSM networks like CNN- even something as straightforward as "they tear-gassed peaceful protestors so Trump could get a photoshoot out the front of a church with a Bible" can't be taken seriously because you can almost bet even that story contains lies by omission and other inconvenient details conveniently cropped out of the story. And as your post suggests, that initial hunch I felt might just have been correct after all? All well and good. Have you watched 30 minutes of Fox news? Any of Fox news's shows? Besides Chris Wallace the rest of them would put North Korean State Television to shame. There's lickspittles, sycophants and then there's Fox. As for Trump and the church thing. Here's what happened. The park was cleared of protesters with some sort of pepper/tear gas as well as smoke bombs and other types of substances to disperse the crowd. 5 minutes later Trump walks out through a path cleared by security and gets a photo holding a bible outside of the church. No prayers, no speech, no visit inside, no introspective solemnity. Nothing. Then the orange man strode back into the White House. Now perhaps Barr ordered the park cleared and miraculously, at the very same time without knowing what had just happened, Trump decided it was a good idea to stroll over and get a happy snap?! I mean let's be real here. You seem to be a fairly intelligent bloke so how about you apply a bit of Occam's razor and decide what was more likely to have happened. Oh and by the way. This story popped up on Fox. (Not CNN.) https://www.foxnews.com/us/park-police-walk-back-tear-gas-denial-in-lafayette-park-clearingNow split hairs and tell me pepper balls which causes irritation to the throat, nose and eyes 'technically' isn't tear gas. (Which I've seen on Twitter.) FFS. I don't take Fox News seriously for the same reason I don't take CNN seriously. My guess would be that Trump wanted that photo opportunity, but what I'm focusing on is the story presented as if the protestors were tear-gassed straight away with no warning, because I've also heard they had been asked to move several times with little/ no co-operation and then you have somebody above suggesting nothing of the sort happened.

+xAbu Dhabi uses modern slavery for economic gain, just wandering what raheem stirling and lewis hamilton make of this as they are both benefit from this money It will be interesting to see the Man City players with BLM on the back of their shirts. Instances where the Premier League cares about the lives of black people: - Police brutality Instances where the Premier League evidently is indifferent to the lives of black people: - Black on black violence - Broken homes of black families - Black slavery under the authority of certain Middle Eastern regimes that just so happen to pour a lot more money into European football than the USA Etc etc.

Ugh, Briggs. I have zero respect for that race-baiting oxygen thief, and if you've ever listened to him as a guest panellist on 'Hack' the only way you could find him reasonable is if you're either a fellow race-hustler or white and filled with self-loathing. You can ad Thelma Plum to that list. I've never wanted to punch my radio more than listening to her talk over the top of her fellow panellist, continually interrupt him the moment he said something she disagreed with and then (when the other guy mentioned a number of his friends who held a view she disagreed with) she straight away assumed they must all be "a bunch of middle-aged white guys" (and hilariously, she was wrong.) The double edged sword of recognising Indigenous issues is that it's provided an open door for people with any degree of Indigenous heritage to milk it for every last drop, knowing that no matter what they say, they have an army of followers who'll call you "racist" if you dare disagree. It doesn't help the discussion at all- quite the opposite. But being divided (and not united) is much better for some people, even those who claim to want to unite us under the banner of "equality". *Edit* And on the subject of Chris Lilley's back catalogue and 'Little Britain' being memory-holed, even if they were on the same level as blackface (which any intellectually honest person can see they're not), would it be better to pretend they never existed? Or perhaps to look at the past with a reasonable view? Of all the people I've listened to, it was Bill Maher who I heard say it best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugLbotr1RuQ
There are only two intellectually honest debate tactics: (a) pointing out errors or omissions in your opponent’s facts, or (b) pointing out errors or omissions in your opponent’s logic. All other debate tactics are intellectually dishonest - John T. Reed

Hi guys, I’ve tirelessly compiled a list of groups of people with legitimate grievances who encounter discrimination and implicit biases on a regular basis, who also a right to protest and demand the abolishment of the capitalist system which has deprived them of a fair go. Their stories aren’t shared much on media so I thought here would be a good place to honour them.
Fat people
Sick people
Old people
Smelly people
Young people
Good people
Skinny people
Good looking people
Ugly people
Hairy people
Bald people
Short people
Male people
Female people
White people
Black people
Yellow people
Sad people
Angry people
Tall people
Employed people
Unemployed
Lower class people
Middle class people
Freckly people
Red headed people
Slow people
Bad people
Intellectually disabled people
Prisoner people
Military people
Police people
Hospital people
Abused people
Public school people
University people
Gay people
Bi sexual people
Religious people
Atheist people
Country people
Apoloigies to all those with legitimate grievances Ive missed.
