More comments about the John Lewis advert. Wonder if they care to explain what's 'woke' about it?

 

 

 

 

There non white people on the advert man, it's obviously woke! Woe betide the idea of there being non white human beings partaking in the annual shitfest that is Christmas.

Using a black family in an advert is woke? There are some strange people about

If it's the one with the 'Alien', then the 'Alien' is somewhat androgynous looking (think a younger version of Tilda Swinton). Maybe they're concerned that John Lewis are encouraging us all to be non-binary!

 

In other words, it's a load of bollocks!

A non woke charity?

Do they have to do a test or something?

The country is full of simpletons.

[Bjornebye]

Cunts, some of the replies. Lies, racism and of course grooming gangs. No mention of the white nonces with links to the EDL of course.

The Daily Mail's coverage of this is quite something: every last detail about the white woman who lived and the bare minimum about the black man who died saving her.

Doesn't fit the narrative mate.

In their defence, they say that his family (understandably) didn't want to make a statement, but still they could have bigged him up a bit more.

Looks like it’s true everyone in cricket is racist.

Something tells me this one won't be the top story on the BBC, though.

He’s no better than the scum who abused him then. 
 

It will be interesting to see what the daily mail

gammons make of it though. I’m sure they’ll be saying “why’s this being brought up now” same as when it came out that people had been using the term p**i 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Neither of these two racist incidents should be seen as negating the other though. They're both wrong and the occurrence of one shouldn't effect how the other is dealt with or used to downplay the seriousness of the other incident. 

[Strontium]

Is that a plea for people not to indulge in whataboutery?

BRB, just have to purchase a new irony meter.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

"what about China, what about Saudi Arabia?" 

 

Buy a couple of those meters...

What is the gist of the Azeem Rafiq tweets?

Identified somebody as a "jew" and then used the racist stereotype of the frugal jew. Not sure who he was talking about. And the text speak/slang used in them is god awful. Difficult to decipher! But, definitely racist. 

[Kevin D]

The BBC's coverage of this is incredible; they just absolutely refuse to tell you what was said even though what was said is the entire reason why it's a story. No asterisks, no euphemism, not even a first letter. Everytime they update the story, you have to go to another site to figure out what is going on.

That picture of him with a team mate in green shirts with Paki Power on it, is that real or what? I can't tell.

It’s about someone being tight isn’t it? The same thing Bumble did.

Yeah. He’s made an absolute twat of himself no doubt about it. A sorry saga all round really

Apparently a Pakistani indoor cricket team looks a lot like him but cant say it is.

Righto, though it seems its offensive to some but not to others, mind you I wouldn't call an Indian a Paki, asking for it as when a Sikh friend of mine got called one he went bonkers, he was an angry ant mind, sadly died 2 days ago of a heart attack at 49.

I wouldn't call anyone a p**i. Best to err on the side of caution when it comes to blatant racism. 

 

Sorry to hear about your mate x
