A dangerous trend of anti-white racism is increasingly promoted by parts of the Western media

[The Masked Tulip 36,576]

I find these things very disturbing as, at best, they seem designed to deliberately divide British / Western people based on skin colour IMPO.

At worst, they seem intent on deriding white people at every opportunity for an unknown agenda one can only speculate about.

As these things are increasing in our media and politics perhaps it is time for such a thread?

I'm not clicking the bait to find out what the white rears are about.

This is typical left wing emotion tugging / he who shouts loudest gets heard crap.

Their circulation is low but visibility is high exactly because of their shit stirring articles.

Mainly because of these interesting responses.

Quote

Mr Varadarajan told me Kondabulu's documentary "suffused with self-righteous indignation about the racism-by-caricature in Apu" is to blame for the recent kerfuffle.

Also, he says, "this has happened at a moment of particular cultural sensitivity in liberal America, with the white intelligentsia being even more capitulative than before to accusations of racism".

"I guess the fact that Indians haven't traditionally been at the forefront of America's race-complaint industry has given this latest outrage over Apu added significance. But in my view, just because traditional non-whiners are whining doesn't mean that the whining is justified!"

.....

Sanjoy Chakravorty, co-author of The Other One Percent: Indians in America, isn't even sure whether there is any wider outrage over Apu beyond the "media echo chamber" following the Kondabolu documentary.

"As I see it, there are two primary products that second generation Indian American comedians sell - the ridiculousness of their parents' 'culture' (arranged marriage and 'my son, the doctor' are the commonest tropes); and the racism of white Americans," Professor Chakravorty, who teaches at Temple University in Pennsylvania, told me in an email interview.

"It is not hard to see why these two lowest hanging fruits are plucked all the time. This is very standard fare. Apu is also very standard fare. What Kondabulu has done is nothing new. He picked almost the most identifiable Indian project possible in the US. And he plugged into the market for identity-based outrage."

You must be offended! Or else!!

At least we are free to discuss the topics openly here, unlike in the MSM, and you don't have to read the threads if you don't want to, unlike the So-Called BBC which rams the issues down our throats.

I know right, takes me ages to click through them all, read them, then get all worked up and upset.

If you can't bear to read the Grauniad, there is the Off Guardian website, off-guardian.org, for all those CiFers who found that the have been barred or had comments deleted for being off-message. It seems to have quite high standards and journalistic integrity.

3 out of 24 on the first page doesn't seem huge to me ? 

There are definitely a bit more than you may see on many other sites though. No doubt about that. 

However you have to realise this site was set up mainly in response to another site many on here used to frequent specifically stating "You must not talk about x or y anymore".

It's not really surprising that you are going to find more types of these topics on here than on other chat sites.

I’m with frank, I could not read it to the end. Who exactly does she think she is, trotting out her stereotypes, labels and blatantly discriminatory views. It should be taken to the press complaints bods. 

[Sucralose Ray Leonard 2,694]

Surprise surprise, comments aren't open on that story.

Just tried to make a complaint to ipso but they don’t seem to be a member so they won’t accept complaints about the guardian.

Prof Chakravorty adds that he loves The Simpsons.

"As far as I am concerned: Apu is one of three likable characters in The Simpsons - Lisa and Marge are the others. Homer, a caricature of the ignorant, blue collar white male, is actually the most offensive."

 

Goodness gracious me, he said it.

[spunko 18,435]

To be fair to the #vilebbc this is actually quite a levelheaded article. Several viewpoints considered, and not much shrieking.

I mean the one posted by @eight http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-44027613

I realised that I tend to read BBC News articles with my cursor very close to the X button, meaning they have become predictable and offensive.

It's like the racism and ageism of the LibDem leader Vince Cable as demonstrated recently at the LibDem conference when speaking about the Brexit vote during his speech - racism and ageism that his LibDem audience vigorously applauded in the style of a Nuremburg rally. 

How is the guardian article not deeply offensive.  Blatant and outright racism along with hefty dollops of sexism - I expect if it's not actually illegal it must be sailing very close to it.  

Like in Cable's case I very much doubt if the authorities will take any action against it though.

The article was written by someone called Ruby Hamad. 

Apparently she grew up in Australia and lives there.  It's not clear if she was born there.  What is it about Australian women that they think they know it all for the rest of the world about females (and males) to be so racist and sexist - going back to the sexist Germaine Greer.  Even Dame Edna - compared to Sir Les Patterson as portrayed by Barry Humphries.

Many people on here are frustrated by the Media who keep bringing up racism,sexism,transphobia and islamophobia as if it is extremely prevalent amongst nasty White people.

Unfortunately many of the people who promote the rights of minorities want much more than equality for minorities.

I know what you mean but 90%+ it's a white person who is actually buying and consuming the product and it's almost entirely voluntary. We cannot ignore the culpability of our own people in all this.
