I just googled it, it’s made by the BBC so it can’t be trusted at all. But I might watch it later.

Motivation is an important part of the legal system, its very strange to me that you would just discard it for no real reason.

If motivation isn’t important, and only ‘using bigoted language’ then Sophia is guilty of racism by saying :

As she used the offending language in a post. Do you not see what the problem with the logic you are using…[Read more]

Then please explain it.

Killing someone by accident isn’t murder, legally.

The indian people I know in the rooms have never said anything to me about abuse and I have never seen it myself, so who am I to believe?

It matters when we are having a discusion about what things are racist, and how to define them.

Yes she had bad things said to her (allegedly), but she has also said bad things here which you are all too…[Read more]

Nothing you just said even makes any sense to me.

The intent was to make Sophia think he was racist, in order to get a reaction (which he got, as we are talking about it now). If he actually is or not is largely irrelevant to this conversation, the intent to cause harm is more important to me.

I don’t think there are very many genuine racists around in this country still, the media is…[Read more]

Well, i’m sorry for being poor then.

What was said was racist, I agree. I meant that I don’t think the person who said it is actually a racist, just someone who thought it would be an effective way to provoke a response. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

I don’t know who either of these people are, but ironic racism is a thing. I do it sometimes in the chat room (impersonating a Nazi…[Read more]

I have never really had any problems with Wetherspoons, I go there fairly regularly to meet with business clients as my home office isn’t really equiped to do that.

Maybe that’s because I go there during times that its not busy, or just that the one that I go to is better.

Well … yes?

Take the example : “I think that all black people should be shot because they are animals”. None of those individual words are ‘racist’, but when taken in context the whole sentance would be.

Its either the words that are racist, or the intention. You can’t pick and choose which when its convenient for your…[Read more]

There is no difference, other than the intention with which it is used.

C’est raciste!
Je suis si offense.

That being said, do you actually have any evidence that golly was created to be a stereotype of black people? Because I haven’t been able to find any connection other than the skin colour.

If that is the only reason, then how is that different than saying The Hamburglar is a racist stereotype of white people?

I was thinking more abstractly when I asked that question, abuse based on a characteristic you don’t consciously choose seems to be pretty much the same to me. The effect of the abuse is the same regardless if its because of race, sexuality or something else.

Also, I think there is an important distinction between “a doll being likened to…[Read more]
