There nothing PC about it. I'm trying to follow your logic & the facts. If Daley is Black and Jemima believes him to be Black as you did, why did she make a statement that she isn't attracted to black guys but attracted to mixed guys like Daley? Daley is mixed race. Jemima knows this as do you now. This isn't PC it's simple fact |

Can't believe you're pressing me on this. I told you in my earlier post, I had no idea he was mixed race until an hour ago, and when I was writing my reply where I referenced him as black, it slipped my mind. I run a small business and am doing multiple things here while popping in and out of the forum, it was a general oversight, I don't vet my posts before replying. Maybe I should? Instead of just correcting me and pointing out he is indeed mixed race, your initial reaction is to inquire why I'm attempting to dismiss "his white heritage". That was an assumption. |

I should have learned from the Markus - Sree thread a few years back that anything race related is just problematic in general ... |
Some of you people have no idea about how the real world works. Whether you like it or not, people WILL judge you on your appearance. Whether you or tall or short, young or old, male or female, attractive or ugly, disabled or not, black or white, have long hair or short hair.... people will form opinions of you based on those things. Hopefully we are getting to a stage when people are not likely to be physically attacked/beaten/spat on/denied services because of those things, but it is simply ridiculous to attempt to police people's thoughts on these issues as the PC brigade would wish.

I have to laugh at how that one comment of J's is continually ignored and the rest of the conversation is used (which isn't relevant) to cloud the issue. The 'you wouldn't date a white man' is the ONLY part of the convo which showed J was racist, and that is continually pointed out. Why bring up the irrelevant and not address the real elephant in the room? Eh? |

I think even Jemima would accept the "you probably woundn't date a white man" comment might have been pushing it.
Even then though, it's not like that absolutely shows that jemina views other races as inferior to her own. It's certainly poor taste but I mean, do we think it's safe to assume that most races date within their own race? And if so, is acknowledging that someone "probably" wouldn't date someone that's outside of their race really such a reach? Or is it logical? Obviously you shouldn't say that to person in question, but I'm just commenting on the general idea... |

They fought against real discrimination. I don't think Martin Luther King would have been particularly concerned with what type of people an old sea hag like Jemima was attracted to. |

Jamina didn't help herself with the white comment. To be honest she just came across as thick and not able to articulate her position properly. Gina realised, latched onto it and used it to try and get her out.
But it was blown out of proportion. She used generalizing to form her argument which isn't good. |

Ive heard people from all races and religions and yes from the so called black community state they only date, marry women and men from within that community....its not called racist then , it may be called narrow minded etc but never racist....but if a white person says anything on the topic here its racist? I think you have to look at the intention too, for example the whole jade v shilpa gate whilst going way over the top was bullying (probably not racism) she was being a bitch and using shilpas ethnicity to try and bully her with her groupies
the word racism is a very strong one and is not applicable here at all however, a poster mentions disabled issues. I think that's a whole thoroughly more difficult more complex multi faceted issue that society hasn't even got close to addressing properly |

Racism is getting out of control, or should I say, what people perceive racism to be is getting out of control. It is getting so we cant even mention preferences without some Blacks jumping on the band wagon. They can say anything to us like your skin is pasty and needs sun or your redness is laughable.....would we get away with commenting on their skin colour, straight hair extensions and or the colour of the makeup they use.
Seems to me that those coloured people that use blond wigs or extensions, use pasty makeup to make them look lighter and effectively try to go whiter are the very people that seem to be ashamed of their own colour or even race and have no rights to play the race card for such an innoxious comment like Jemima made. I am defo not racist but I am against racism that is used to gain an advantage in life. Gina seems to think she is above everyone and dresses and tries to look more European than her other friends. This looks to me like she isn't all that comfortable in her own skin colour yet she champions the black racism issue to such a degree that its laughable. |
