Andy Maher - Sorry but I don't get it

[1989]

It is hilarious to paint this as a 'slur'. Can't you see the stupidity of a white English policeman accusing a woman of Indian descent of racism against him? This is the most obvious bullshit culture war beat-up ever. Maybe if people got as upset about actual racism as they did about this we might have a chance of reducing it.

Trying to make it out as some kind of tolerant ideal is odd. Context matters. Understanding what racism actually is matters too.

Regardless, Andy Maher is a *ing moron.

I guess we see things differently. I would apply the same rules and standards to everybody and have zero tolerance on these type of comments.

Wouldn’t have thought so, but whatever.

The post above pretty much says it all.
