Tommy is a legend, he doesn't seek attention, it seeks him.

Would a white person be offended if someone said their skin was like milk or something? Think about it, stop being stupid. I can't believe ye are fighting about the word chocolate.

yes if Tommy commited some sort of crime but clearly he was complimenting his favorite HM

I actually give up. I'd be surprised at the amount of ignorance in this thread, but then I remember it is TiBB. You go ahead and campaign to get your friend back.

Thanks Shaun, seeing as we have your permission we might just do that

[MissKittyFantastico]

As if we needed permission anyway!

Free the TiBB one!!!! We love Tommy <34

And again I say - you don't have to be malicious to be ignorant or prejudiced. Half of the country's racists have this "BUT MY BEST FRIEND'S BLACK x" attitude that they seem to think disqualifies them from it - which is all very well, but continually demeaning and referring to another person on the very colour of their skin IS prejudice.

[Stacey.]

It wasn't just this once he was racist though, he is quite a lot actually.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Tommy is not racist ffs.

he was describing the colour of her skin, people do that all the time, just yesterday I said that my daughter has lovely sallow skin, does that make me racist against tanned people?

[Twilight]

I would find it to be a pointless and mindless assertation about my skin colour. Would I be upset? No. Would I find it ridiculous and prejudiced? Yes.

[MrGaryy]

I'm sorry that's like calling a chinese person 'slits'. It's not necessarily malicious given the context but it stems from ignorance.

Well no, since tanned people aren't a race...

You need to grow a set.

Not really, that would definitely be seen as being mocking and offensive, calling someone 'chocolate skinned' is no way the same imo.

For the love of God...it's TYPECASTING SOMEONE BY THEIR SKIN COLOUR.

What do you not understand!?

Did he say she was beautiful? No. Did he say she had lovely eyes, or a firm physique? No. He said her skin was chocolate. Was he suggesting she is made from Lindt? No. Jesus Christ, the intentions were obvious - and FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME - I'm not saying he IS racist, I'm saying he's stupid and attention-seeking.
