John unless you think this is a court of law, not a tradesman forum using the term apparently is perfectly ok. Do you seek arguments everywhere?

Why would it matter?
In what circumstances can anyone think it would matter?
Surely if Harry thought it was racist, then that's good enough. Unless you think he's too woke, or a snowflake. That sounds more like you victim blaming. :rolleyes:
If my father, brother, sister, aunt or whatever asked me if thought my baby's skin will be too dark, I'd be offended also. I'd probably reply with "too dark for what?"
If they simply asked me what colour do I think the baby's skin will be, I'd still ask, "why will it matter?"

Impossible but those shouting racism at every turn need to be held accountable.

The day is coming when someone will be taken to court for slander.

Perhaps we ought to outlaw anyone who claims rape also. :rolleyes:
How about anyone who claims that something has been stolen? Shall we call them liars as well? :rolleyes:
And those who complain they've been conned, shall we label them snowflakes? :rolleyes:
It's blatantly obvious that a lot of posters on here are victim blaming someone who considers that they've been offended by what they consider to be a racist incident.
 
Racist remark

depends on the context by which it was made before the race card is played
 
What article is that ? Is this all about this Meghan / Harry caper

By telling half the story it just creates speculation & false accusations.
I didn’t watch it but she said it happened when she was pregnant but he said when they were dating.

So you think lies matter but not when Bojo says them.

Bojo lies cost lives. This whole charade is a nice hit job and distraction from Prince Andrew.

A black/mixed race is allowed to marry into the British Royal Family and given all the priviliges that anyone else would have had. How has she been discriminated against? Naturally you're first on her victim bandwagon.

Being a victim of racism is not the same as being discriminated against. Suffering from racial prejudice is not the same as racism or discrimination. (see the article presented by sxturbo)
Has she been discriminated against? If the help that she requested would have been provided to a white person in the same situation, then yes she has been discriminated against. But we're not in a position to answer that.
Has she been given all the privileges that anyone else would have received? You're in no position to assess that.
 
Well they interviewed the Lord Lieutenant of London yesterday at 5pm on radio 4

he is black and in a mixed marriage he has children

when his wife was expecting there 1st child his mother asked him exactly the same question as was asked about Harry’s child

the question was according to him asked for a valid reason and his mother who is black is not a racist

I think you've missed the point of my question.

Racism is a problem, but weaponising racism is also a problem. At the moment, there is no defence against accusations of racism because the things that can be construed racist are limitless.

Until there is an acceptance than some people misuse racism as a weapon, there is never going to be a properly balanced debate with a constructive outcome.

We'll sit in this never ending circle where the woke feel like they're being attacked and the vocal minority of the mainstream (that i think you consider to be RW because they're not Woke) feel they're being attacked. Except that the woke are generally more vocal than the mainstream.

My point is weaponising the response to racism through labelling everything woke.

Acceptance by whom? Everyone? Racism will be misused as is the response to it. The issue is that its a very nuanced subject.



Is this then an example of racism? or is he being sensitive.

 
DIYer and wannabe DIYer.

the term is not gender-specific or sex-specific.

If you think that racism is being weaponised, when there is a genuine case of racism, then you're part of the problem.

While you argue that allegations of racism is being used purely as a weapon, then you're perpetuating that racism, because you are immediately arguing that the racism never happened.

You're weaponising 'woke', and you think that's OK. Because, according to you, anyone who thinks that racism has occurred must be woke.

Okay then, stirring the *alleged ****. Now come on, if you were white and someone said something to you about your coloured wife that could be classed as racist, would you pass it on knowing it could very well upset her or would you tell them to STFU and not mention it? If he’s not prepared to back it up by saying who said it, why bother telling half a story in the first place.

Can you not imagine the schit storm that would ensue if he did name the culprit?
What if it was the future King? or his wife? Can you imagine the mayhem that would cause?
