This is a normal post
Multiculturalism reached a sweet spot for a few years in the 90s, early 00s. Nobody noticed or cared that two of the three leads in Red Dwarf were black, despite the absence of quotas which we have now. There was blacking-up in Little Britain/Boosh/League but the difference was generally understood. South-Asian comics applauded Apu. Goodness Gracious Me good-naturedly mocked white Brits. We were all happy taking the piss out of each other. All was as it should be. And then...

This is a normal post You're right, dear Penis
Blair's black genie is out of the bottle. We are all enemies now (yours has always, mystifyingly, been the Jews). And multiculturalism is utterly fucked.

This is a normal post Valid grievances are inflated disproportionately and their blanket application is unfair and dangerous.
Some truth and reconciliation would be welcome, but I fear we're going to get more fear and loathing.

This is a normal post None of the usual adversaries here on this one, old chap.
No-one's prepared to mount a defence of banning The League of fucking Gentlemen. It's almost as though I were right all along.

This is a normal post It's fun watching the Left cannibalise itself in their perpetual advancement of doublethink though.
JK Rowling's current woes are particularly amusing.

This is a normal post "The Left."
I have found that people who regularly decry "The Left" are usually talking about liberals, and are usually daft cunts who cannot be reasoned with.

This is a normal post It's just shorthand for
Reds, teachers, bleeding hearts, pinkos, strangely tactile scout leaders, students, junkies, non-African Anglican bishops, the feckless and trustafarians. Which one are you? I'm guessing not a bishop.

This is a normal post Why you always so cold about the junkies, man?
Stop being so uptight and cut them some slack.

This is a normal post After hundreds of years of being treated as 'less than'.
People might take a while to calm down and take a more reasoned approach.
A bit like virtually any human conflict whatsoever.

Anyway, if it wasn't for attention seeking twats, legitimate sneering would be trickier.

This is a normal post Is the power of inherited, collective grievance equal to that of individual, personal grievance?
Asking for a friend.

This is a normal post That's a difficult one to answer concisely.
Some statues being taken down and TV shows off, (probably temporarily), are not exactly equivalent to the prejudice experienced.
Some will always take the opportunity to kick off stupidly, make shit decisions or retreat into nostalgia.
It can be easy for others to criticise who haven't had prejudice regularly inflicted on them, it is both inherited and current. Imagine how you might feel if your community had a Tulsa massacre, etc, etc.

Too 'tired' for arguing

This is a normal post Because of all the prejudice we've received working in England, all the "bartender" and "colonial" jokes
Us Australians demand our suffering be acknowledged by replacing the Colston statue with one of Rolf Harris

This is a normal post Bum trip, man.
Or rather, a allegory for philosophical suicide in the absurdist sense.
