Coleen Nolan displays repulsive ignorance
 

sack this cow :fist:

aaah she's so tragic :skull:

I’m pretty sure she got in trouble for that when it happened

She should join the bbc

It's all she's done ever since she became famous.
She's terrible.

*reads title 'Coleen Nolan displays repulsive ignorance'*

Erm what else is new? :laugh:

Her lips?

aww I wanna see what she looked like!

What's new?

Nothing this vile hag does surprises me anymore

she couldn't have just said this 29 months ago in the CBB house COULD she?

She is gross, a bigoted piece of ****.

What a ridiculous over-reaction. This kind of thing minimises real cases of racism.

This is real racism.

It might be minor, but it's still racism.

Because she said her sister used to tie her bunches so tight she looked Oriental? Don't be ridiculous. Have there been any complaints from Oriental people? No. Of course not. Just a little bunch of white people who don't like Colleen Nolan and have taken this as an opportunity to call her names.

She's mocking the eyes of Asian people, that is racism.

I have no idea who complained about it, it happened in 2015.

And now it's in serious debates, four years after the event, simply because people here don't tend to like her. If it really was a racist incident someone would have complained at the time, surely? And why is it never a person from the race being "ridiculed" who does the silly name calling? Probably because they understand the concept of the intention to insult, which there clearly wasn't here.

Do we have any Asian members on here?

Who knows? I was speaking generally.

Did she mock the eyes of an Asian or describe what they looked like?

The term 'oriental' to describe people is typically seen as offensive and pulling back the skin around your eyes to 'look asian' is also incredibly insensitive.

It's pretty open and shut. At best she's completely ignorant but given her previous comments on homosexuality, I'm more inclined to believe she's just an well rounded bigot.

who gave you the authority to decide what is real racism and what isn't?

for the record I had no idea this was old popped up on my twitter timeline :shrug:

Oh I'm sorry, it's your job, is it?

I've suffered real racism in my life, been spat at, called names.... how about you? What are your own experiences?

repulsive ignorance is pretty strong. She didn't appear to be lacking in education (ie ignorant) in that short clip and i'm not really sure that ignorance can even be described as repulsive ... so ... well ... erm
