Racist
  • Don't play the fool. You know what he means.

    I really don’t. I’m not very interested in the royal family (I only found out she was pregnant a few days before the birth) but her ethnicity was commented on when they got together. To suggest it’s something anyone should still be thinking about, let alone the only significant thing about her, is way off.

    She's black innit. History in the making for the royal family. Noteworthy in a way that William's wife isn't.

  • Maybe it sets an example in workplaces across the land that racist shit, even if it's of the unintentional variety, will not be tolerated.

    A couple of years ago I had a manager go an a racist tirade to my face.

    When I pointed out I was from a mixed race family, he continued, another colleague pointed out to him that there is a statue of one of my relations in the town centre if he wanted to take a look, it shut him up for a little while.

    A couple of people reported him, The bosses did nothing.

    I had to take him down another way and take his job.

    Actually Kate was a “commoner” and not any sort of aristocracy. Additionally Markle is American and also got famous from TV.

    Fantastic. She's still going to go down in history as the first black member of the royal family in the same way as Obama will go down as the first black President. Unless everyone has forgotten all about it already.

    Common stock = different grandparents

    Can I reiterate that I don't think Baker is a racist, and that I quite like the cut off his jib. And I think the apology he later came out with was spot on. But I can see why the BBC fired him.

    Exactly. I like Danny Baker. I still think he had to go for this.

    Different jobs have different standards. I would expect to be held to a different standard in my current job or when I was working for the British Council than I would in retail.
  • A bit of a change of subject.
    Internet morons have lost their mind over the story ending for Jax in the latest MK11.

    For context, the story of MK11 involves a villain rewriting time using the sands of time and the hour glass thing Jax is seen in front of here.
    Every character ending sees them take control of this power and use it, or not in a way they see fit.
    Vera is Jax wife, Jacqui his daughter.
    Jax has always been a goodie, fighting for Earth/Merica.
    Oh, except for when he was enslaved and became a zombie fighter for a super white guy, then got PTSD.

    This is the ending, personally I find it cheesy but apparently it is "SJW bullshit" and "Pushing a political agenda"

    He does a home run hit with their head. It's super weird when he does it to his own daughter.
  • That's exactly what I imagine Jax would do.

    The home run or the ending?

    I like this man, who seems to see the bigger picture
  • This. (Filmtalk) Cinderella was the bigger picture, but The Princess and the Frog laid down a marker.
  • I don't get the Jax thing. Is it because he wants to be black panther and the alt right wants him to be shaft?

    Also, the alt right are fucking idiots, lol.

  • Did Baker who posted the chimp pic also do the same monkey 'joke' with the 3 previous royal babies? If not, you just know there's intent to kick up some shit.... Subconscious or not.

    Hint: the problem with racism is usually the bolded bit above.
