sorry White people know how Asian and Black people feel better than they do themselves, I guess that really is white priviledge :hehe:

Just a case of being allowed to mock one person but not a group of people...

you are confusing playground kids making their eyes slitty to an adult dressing up for a party where everyone is dressed up intentionally

and no one yet has claimed to be offended by Walliams

and frankly noone cares either

I think the reaction to this is ott. He's taking the mick out of a NK dictator and so mocked himself up to look like him. If he was doing this for a film, makeup artists would be asked to get him as near to the real thing as makeup would allow. This is all he's done here.

Nothing to do with kids and everything to do with the kind of racially insensitive material that Walliams is known for.

I'm not generalizing or coming out of nowhere. I'm commenting on Walliams and his track record.

How do you know? Unless of course you mean on the forum, which is hardly surprising given the very slim Korean representation. :joker:

true, if someone of any colour did this for Teresa May or Donald Trump would anyone be upset about it I don't think so, political figures have always been fair game :nono:

Depends. A wig and a costume tends to suffice.

And said film would get a backlash for whitewashing. As opposed to hiring an Asian actor to play an Asian character.

I was replying to Marsh about his white washing on TV comment

Crimson Dynamo 02-11-2017 06:32 PM

I emailed my South Korean pen pal Hou Flung Dung and he said he saw the Daily Mail and thought it a hoot. He was however horrified that Ed Shearan went as a pimp as the exploitation of women through prostitution and the subsequent violence that female sex workers endure is no laughing matter

but wait

no one saw that so it did not happen

Just like Michael Jackson wasn't around to complain about being played by Joseph Fiennes, but that's missing the point altogether.

Why do lefties want to exclude non-whites from being the punchline? They're just as entitled to be the punchline as anybody.

Why is it always White lefties doing this segregating? Why do they always need to be the spokesperson for non-White people? Is it because they don't think non-Whites are capable? You have to wonder.

I only speak for myself, I wouldn't want some virtue signaller to speak on my behalf for what I want and need.

I'd like to know from non-White people on what they think about these White knights not treating you the same way they treat their fellow White people? Because these go around calling everyone racist, but to me, they look like the real racists

Marsh. 02-11-2017 10:39 PM

Who are the white lefties?

LT says no one's offended, now it's the white lefts fault. :joker:
