I briefly alluded to it on another thread, but I believe what is essentially racism was an important part in our natural selection. The descendants of modern day homo-sapiens were one of a variety of homo-erectus subspecies but we became the dominant genus. In effect our ancestors survived by being the most aggressive, to the point that all our other relatives died out. There’s a reason why if you go to the zoo the gorillas, chimps and orangutan aren’t in the same enclosure - they’d all kill each other. In short, I believe racial tolerance is a learned behaviour, not something we are born with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Orangutan isn't a ginger gorilla. I’m not confusing anything, we aren’t different ‘shades’ we have differing genetic qualities. If you go back around 100,000-400,000 years (estimates vary) we all had a common ancestor, most likely in East Africa somewhere. If you go back 50 million years, you find the first ancestors of all modern primates. Anyway, the point is is the same basic, tribal behaviour.

As an exile in Yorkshire i can indeed confirm that they are certainly different and much like scousers, feel the need to shoe horn in that they are from Yorkshire in every single conversation they have. I guess it's a bit like black people referring to themselves as the N word, kind of like a badge of honour amongst their own but a slur if anyone else refers to it.

Yes, it's mostly well intentioned - but its still racist, albeit at the lowest end of the scale, because they only say it because she's brown. She gets it despite being British born and bred whilst the white immigrant, English as a second language doctors she works works with don't. My parents are both white non British, so I am less established British than her - but I never get questioned or told how good my English is or that 'my lot' are okay. Its primarily about being made to feel separate and not really being accepted. Even if you are well intentioned working from the premise that someone is foreign because they are brown or black and British because they are white is wrong.

She claims to be antiracist but seems obsessed by race. How can you be antiracist and use a slur (coconut) which specifically refers to skin colour? I suspect she labours under the misapprehension that people of colour can't be racist even though they behave as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another good example of the difference between being woke and being liberal. A liberal would want anyone to be given an opportunity, regardless of race, religion or sexual persuasion. Woke is thinking people from ethnic minorities need help because they can't understand the difference between racism and the colour of a t-shirt.

It’s just an example of a shit idea, like many on this thread. The problem is when you get marketing people involved who generally are hyper-sensitive about their brand possibly offending anyone. I have worked in the industry for years and see it all the time. At the end of the Day if a rugby team want to change their name it’s up to them, it’s their job to worry about how they are perceived, it’s nothing to really give a shit about. In my opinion it is silly but it has to be a better thing that racial issues are being thought about than just ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no legal way to claim asylum to the UK without being on UK soil. Also there is no legal requirement for France or anyone else for that matter to police the UK borders. Thank Brexit for that.
