Nah. Nobody thinks that calling a garden"Oriental" is racist.

 

It's just that Stronts read somewhere that it's racist to refer to people as "Orientals" in North America and deduced from that that it's not racist anywhere else.

They must me mate. Apparently there is one in St Helens simply called ‘The Orient” and as for Leyton Orient …… it’s a fucking minefield trying to get some Kung-Po Chicken these days Skids be careful out there

Nobody says that. Easier just to call everyone Asian.

 

Honestly never heard the word ---- uttered by anyone until that Bush vid when the fella tosses his shoes at him. Brilliant clip

 

Brits say oriental as Asian over here tends to mean Indian and Pakistani. It's an Alf Garnett thing.

Just heard on Nolan on 5live, in discussion on this Rittenhouse.

 

Hitler was a socialist and took away the guns. Something about Lenin before that. From US citizen in defence of bat shit crazy gun laws.
 

Violent criminals radicalised by the left media because the enemy wants “us” divided.
 

The other contributor was a little more sane in her opinions. 
 

Knew I shouldn’t have tuned in!

Racism exists. The worst part of latest racism is the hiding behind the "woke" line. How about we live a life where people are either pricks or not pricks. The scary thing about society is the stealth racism. The people 'generally' who all things woke are people who don't like anything that upsets their little picnic nest. "snowflake" for being upset at a racist comment but.... you fart in the direction of their picnic and they fume. Who is "woke", what is "woke" ? It's racism. What are "snowflakes"? They are those that can't handle the fact that being a scumbag is no longer the way it is. Move with the times ..... move with the times.

Even the machines are racist. Actually the people that make them are racist, the machines aren't sentient. Yet.

This is reminiscent of the problems highlighted by Caroline Criado-Perez in "Invisible Women". For decades all of our stuff has been designed to work for "normal" people and the researchers, designers and decision-makers have (understandably) interpreted "normal" to mean people like them and everyone around them; and in a racist, sexist society that means white men.
