Not you too Marsh!

I'm not saying that it IS racist or that *I* think it should be seen as racist at all.

I'm saying that anyone who claims that they didn't realise that some people would cry racism is straight up lying. I don't know why. Maybe people are worried that admitting "yeah, OK, I knew that weirdos on the internet would scream racism at this scene" is somehow admitting that they have a point?

But I just don't buy it. I refuse . There's some bizarre wilful ignorance going on here (NOT ignorance of race issues - but ignorance of the fact that we all know full well what the internet is like) and it's creeping me out.

I never said you did. I was just correcting that little point of contention about peeling brown skin off.

Maybe they did predict or suspect that maybe the internet crazies would kick off.
I mean, people attacked Adele online for daring to tell Beyonce she had "black friends" who loved Lemonade, which was supposed to be an empowerment album for black women so was entirely relevant in the context she said it. But I don't think those people should be pandered to.

Let them shout into the empty void that is the internet IMO.
