Originally posted by minestrone View PostNo, when you are pursuing that charge here if the 'leprechaun' was deemed not to be a racial then he would have got off with the abuse.
If he'd only called the guy a fsking leprechaun he'd have gotten away with it due to precedent. But hey - if you want a sad, bitter, paranoid view of the world, that's your call.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

If you've not seen Obama's chat about "Woke" it's worth a look, on youtube. I totally agree with him.
Cancel culture is burning books imo.
Yes horrible things have happened and the world changes - but todays "OK" will be tomorrows not ok too - it's called progress and its good to reflect on things and see the positive change.
The past is always relevant in that it allows us to not make the same mistakes over and learn, not only the present and the future matter , destroying history is very dangerous IMO.Comment

Originally posted by woohoo View PostThat's a bad argument. The people that pulled down Saddams statue didn't live within a society that had a framework for raising support and debating if statues should be removed. They couldn't raise the issues with their local MP etc.Comment
