Spitting image ripped the piss out of every one.
Its funny nothing more,

I'll just repeat what I said in the thread yesterday;

I do think that entertainment (TV, films, games etc.) should be a different matter... There should always be a place for satire, that's important, and a place for honesty in reality TV (though most of it is just trash now tbf) and in documentaries.

However I think people need to realise that, to use an example, Basil Fawlty frog marching around Fawlty Towers doing a Hitler salute is very different from Bob doing it round the pub. The South Park kids calling their black friend "Token" is very different from kids in a mostly white school calling the only black kid Token in reality (even as a joke), etc.


I suppose, in a case like this, I would probably extend that to established professional comedians on social media, as it is often used as a platform for an ongoing "show" of sorts in that capacity.

There's also a distinct difference between dressing up as a specific person, and dressing up as a stereotypical archetype of a group of people. Within limits, though.

Im more worried about him being willing to sit in a chair for 4 hours to achieve the look..****ing americanised bollox.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Who are the white lefties?

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

The political establishment, the media establishment and the academia establishment.
