Is this racism?

They can't help themselves, can they?

Also contrast "picnic" as a word of "violence" with thousands of students ululating to kill the Jews.

great point. they're worried sick about the word picnic but couldn't care less about students chanting kill the jews and hitler was right. and van would say no jews were killed by hamas,,,only israeli's.

"One man came and intervened while another passenger filmed the horror attack on their mobile phone."

the thugs were probably vastly outnumbered by other passengers, yet only one person helped her. sad commentary on how cowed people have become.

I expect there will be a river of weak piss as the right looses control of their collective bladders in a fit of impotent rage over this.

I see the American left are sobbing helplessly over the names of some some birds. The names of birds. The names. of birds.

Well, some of us have often drawn comparisons between the odd politician and our feathered friends.

To my mind, for example, Nadine Dorries and The Common Shag are pretty much synonymous.

geology field camps have to go because they are racist, sexist, and brimming over with toxic white masculinity..

"For budding geologists, the traditional field camp experience often marks their transition from being a college student to a beginning geology practitioner."

Haha. Very, very familiar.

Hmm. Having read the article it appears that they haven't found anyone making any of these claims. They've just found someone at a community college in Minnesota saying that these claims are being made.

"Fat Andy, a distinguished bullshit artist at the community polytechnic of News General, says that people are pushing the idea that eating the sh*t straight out of a bull's arse is a great idea and super healthy and will give you superhuman strength, able to leap tall buildings at a single bound. He says 'this is unhealthy' and the people pushing this far woke agenda are 'wrong'"

Igneous? How appallingly patriarchal. Womaneous, more like! Basalt? Hersalt, I say!

Grandpa-ite? Granite, more like! Mantle plume? Womantle plume!

There's a kerfuffle going on in the English press as a new book out on the Royal Family mentions that two members discussed between themselves what colour Megan and Harry's children might be.
To be clear: Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex and this incident happened, of course, before Prince Archie was born.

The two un-named members of the Royal Family are being called Racist.
Now, I have no idea if these people really are Racist but my question is this: Is it racist to wonder what colour the child of a mixed race couple will be?
I bet there must be countless Aunts and Uncles of Indian; Pakistani; West Indian and white families who wonder what colour the child of a mixed race couple will be.
They may be very happy that their Nephew or Niece has fallen in love with someone of a different race but still quite innocently wonder what shade the sprog may be.
It could be asked in a racist way - but in of itself I do not see it as intrinsically racist.

My mixed race office mate mentioned this when it first came out. Her mum's Nigerian and her dad's First Nations British. She also has mixed race nieces and nephews and said that speculation about the colour of mixed race babies in her family was intense. Most of this came from the Nigerian side.

[voice]

I assume it's the manner of the discussion rather than the topic that gained attention.

Also why would it matter, though it obviously vexed a great deal of people both in and outside the palace, that a person of colour was now part of the firm

[mids]

I think it was more that they realised that they'd let an appalling, grasping narcissist into their family.

[wetkingcanute]

Good points voice.
But we don't know that it did vex people inside the palace. It could be that they were pleased that a mixed race child was entering The Firm.

I would have thought that the vast majority of English people (not members of the press) couldn't give a monkeys either way. And I think most chaps think that Harry is a lucky fcuker.

But my main point is: Is simply wondering about the colour of a child racist?

Yeah, but they killed her in Paris.
