I actually think many young people are do confused about racism that if alan sugar had tweeted

"all the players from Senegal are black"

there would have been a much bigger outrage

Not really.

Tbf Irish whisky is lush.

Peter Fonda is in much more trouble today, for a tweet calling for Trumps young son Barron to be kidnapped and locked in a cage with paedophiles. Apparently Melania contacted secret service.

Livia 21-06-2018 11:04 AM

I think there's an 'e' in Irish whiskey, Marshy. Don't want anyone accusing you of dissing their culture x

Would there, why?

Marsh. 21-06-2018 11:26 AM

I love how it keeps being thrown into the face of "millennials" and the "young 'uns" that they're "snowflakes" or whatever, when a lot of the people online who originally called out the racist tweet for being racist are actually from an older generation.

But, whatever makes you feel like you're in the right I guess.

Kizzy 21-06-2018 11:45 AM

Because by patronising the opinions of those opposed to regressive points, policies or reportage it's designed to denigrate their opinion as irrelevant.

Not by actually having a counter argument that is reasoned and well thought out ... just a nonsense word will suffice for many. :)

You commented on it, and I responded, if you felt it was so inconsequential not sure why you bothered

Well they ruined Topgear so can’t see why they wouldn’t do it to The Apprentice.

Northern Monkey 21-06-2018 12:10 PM

PS you can’t drink Irish or Scotch Whiskey/y anymore unless you have roots there.It’s cultural appropriation.

Marsh. 21-06-2018 12:11 PM

Tbf the Apprentice is long passed its sell by date. Needed putting out of its misery years ago.

No. Jeremy Clarkson and his arselicking costars ruined Top Gear. He assaulted people and they followed him out the door.
