I'm not a fan of the likes of Nish Kumar but at least he tries to make a joke when displaying his political views.

This is just nothing.

That reminds me, as a white man, I need to stop ordering delicious Chinese food. They must hate it when white people appropriate their oriental cuisine.

She's also refused service by a black person simply because she's white.

A white person should not have dreadlocks that much is clear, but it's not up for the hairdresser to decide.

Why not?

One comment was "But Anne Boleyn though.." :pac:

I totally disagree with a black woman playing white anne Boleyn. Only dead people should be allowed play dead people. The actress is clearly alive

But that clip isn't making fun of 'the nonsense'.

If anything, its agreeing with it. The girl who wants her hair in dreadlocks is being ridiculed.

I think the ridiculing is more on the couple in the salon who are kicking her out ... they look the more insane here.

Because it looks stupid, that's why :P
Of course, anyone should be free to look stupid if they want to.

Disagree.

The clip is making the customer come across as thick, no idea about different races etc. Like a dumb blonde character.

Need a quick woke rule check here... does this apply to black albinos with dreads or nah?

Actually let's upgrade the rule as "dreadlocks look stupid on anyone and everyone" and make everyone happy.
Everyone is happy now, right?

Why is he proud of being born with a genetic disorder?

Spain's postal service attempt at being woke doesn't go according to plan. Them right serves.

I love how when they do something to show the inequality they are wrong.

Sure no winning these days, God help the kids they'll need phd's just to know if they can speak in public.

Fantastic news , let's hope other states and the world follows.

No surprise who the woke crowd support here, they want biological men to be able to compete in combat sports where they can beat the living **** out of biological women - you could not write it.

That's just common sense.

Also, why not just create trans games where trans people can participate in? Would that not be a better idea for everyone, and avoid the whole problem in the first place?

Sure everything is racist these days. Or rather, offence is everywhere. Especially if you look for it.

Their argument would be that is still "othering" them, I have the deepest sympathies for someone that feels they were born in the wrong bodies , I really do, and would always refer to them as whatever they want to be , but facts are facts and you can't give people such an advantage in sports.


Take tennis a sport I know a bit about at least, no.1 WTA would be roughly 800/700 in the ATP.


Check how much money a top 700 ATP player makes (not a lot)

How long before some lad decides to transition and from making minimum wage in shiity challenger ATPs , goes on to win 30 grand slams playing as a woman.

Great to see the google doodle finally celebrating Burt Reynolds today

Getting shot for going to school as a girl is woke now, apparently.

jam_mac_jam

I think she is a much more interesting individual than is usually featured in Vogue. Not really seeing the wokeness either.

Nah. That's not woke. Her story is interesting and important.

The reporting of her story is largely framed in a woke way.

That isn't her fault.

"Right, we need a head strategist for diversity."
"How about this guy?"
"I dunno, should probably be a woman."
"But he's black."
"Oh well then that's grand. Short day today. Good job everyone."
"Should we maybe do a cursory background check of stuff that he's publicly posted in the past? Like use the main product our company makes and everyone has access to in their pockets?"
"Nah."

That's like a Waterford Whispets News headline!

Probably the safest bet for chief diversity officers are white straight males with a successful real career, as they've been scared shless to say anything that can be seen as offensive for the past 20 or so years. Good luck finding one willing to take over diversity bullcrap though
