Racism

Whatever things you can say about the Tories, I don't think a reluctance to appoint "brown people" to top jobs is one of them. The government looks like a United Colors of Benetton ad. Javid, Sunak, Braverman, Zahawi, Cleverly, Sharma, and no doubt a few others who are taking an absolute kicking in the other threads on this forum. To put it another way, I'd certainly like to see how the makeup of the cabinet compares to Jolyon's chambers.

I’ve said this before in a different thread but up until last week the current cabinet was the most diverse senior government team in the entire political history of Western Europe in terms of ethnicity, gender and religion. Meanwhile every elected Labour leader since John smith has been a white, middle aged, millionaire male.

Yes, we're well aware that people of all races, genders and religion can be utter cunts.

Another fabulous political picture--the 2010 coalition cabinet.

Just as a bit of an experiment, can you explain why that's a good thing? I'm not saying it is or it isn't, I'm just asking you as you're the one who said it in contrast to Labour's record.

Good point, makes you wonder if it's deliberately so, to try to reassure the traditional tory voter that Labour are on the same side as them.

You know how much I love, admire, and respect you, right? Any chance you don't subject me to Nadine fucking Dorries on the daily? 

 

Poor Nadine.

 

It feels like an endurance test anyway, just did it for a laugh. She'll be gone soon.

I object to her on religious grounds, medical grounds, and legal grounds.

Look at all the Tor..... oh hang on.... we have a new lot of..... wow..... WOW

 

 

 

This country (and don't compare it to others or take it to a thread about them) has enough racists to follow what these cunts take them. Denying that makes you as bad as them. Labour probably have some in their party, the real reality here is we have a Pricks vs Non Pricks issue. Strontz delivers when he shows himself up as a prick. A couple of others do on here. Rico plays devils advocate and I know he isn't racist because I know him personally. 

 

Fuck racism and fuck anyone who denies that racism isn't a problem. Brexit was won on racism. FACT 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

In case anyone is still daft enough to think that Maugham's tweet is a bigger problem than the Tory racism he was tweeting about, here are some reflections on it.

Don’t really know anything about this fella other than the fact that he clubbed an animal to death but fair play to him. Big gamble though. If Sunak wins you would need a team of highly skilled quantity surveyors to calculate the sheer size of cock that he’s made of himself. 

[Captain Howdy]

Funnily enough I’ve now got a sneaking suspicion that Tugendhat will win

[Bjornebye]

He's a cunt for what he did to that fox. He's also right that we have a problem with racism regardless of who wins the tory leadership race. 

[ZonkoVille77]

He comes across as a lawyer version of Owen Jones at times. Definitely likes the sound of his own voice. But overall he seems a decent sort.

The problem wasn't asking the question of whether or not the Tories were ready to elect a brown person as leader. The problem was specifically directing it at one of the brown people standing in that election. One of the many problems people from ethnic and racial minorities face is the bigotry of low expectations, the idea that less should be expected from someone who is a minority. Maugham's question contained the implicit suggestion that Sunak may as well not bother, because the racists in his party won't elect him. Chances are Sunak won't be put off by something like that, but if we normalise that line of questioning, then it will serve to discourage people from minority groups from achieving their potential. People from minority groups should be encouraged to overcome barriers, not dissuaded from even trying in the first place.

It’s not even as if there’s polling showing that the ethnicity of leaders makes little difference to how voters place their votes.  Oh.

Oh yeah, I’ve already got him down as a nasty piece of shit because of the fox thing.

Right to point out that the majority aren't racist but scum like that think it's ok.
