I think I saw one on the Valentine’s march, but if it were up to me, it would be in the news all day, every day. I have friends and colleagues on that list (both missing and murdered), and the reporting around it has been generally nauseating, playing into all the old stereotypes. Too much of the talking has been done…

I would just like to say that I would TOTALLY be part of Emma Thompson’s Badass Murder Squadron. I feel like we’d get really cool uniforms and an HQ that had lots of really good tea.

I want the right people attacked. I have nothing but symptahy for refugees fleeing an oppressive regime. I have zero patience for religious fundamentislts going into new countries and trying to change those countries or getting mad because they don’t like how women dress.

She wasn’t born with those biases, though, was she?

3) Decide that something is “wrong with” the person whose one statement you disagree with

Outside of select countries in Africa (SA, Egypt, Algeria, and a few others), I’m not sure that’s entirely true. Sure there are some spots where that is the case, but it’s FAR less prevalent in Africa as a whole than it is in other places around the world.

IME, being an American is hardly exotic or even desirable to most Europeans. I couldn’t order coffee without someone informing me that my country sucks.

The problem with American diversity is we treat it like a logistical thing: “We need 2 more black people and a Mexican. Oh, and see if there are any more Asians in the back there. If not fuck it, we’ve got deadlines.”

Christian Bale totally has Idris Elba’s Oscar nomination. No way his role in Big Short was nomination worthy.

When an organisation is shown to have a problem of prejudice at the institutional level, a quota may be the only way to change its culture. Unless the individual players are spectacularly vicious and/or stupid, they’re not going to reveal themselves so that you can blame particular people. Even if they do, punishing…

The BBC is funded by the taxpayer and some theatres and tv production companies will get some Government funding. channel 4 also has a public service remit. The Black Mirror series on Channel 4 and also the recent series Humans have been notable for having a very diverse cast of actors. Sad that it should be so…

They still hate all Muslim people, never mind that only the tiniest few have ever bothered to fight back against them.

The police are investigating it as a possible hate crime. There wasn’t any indication of motive left behind at the scene, so until the perpetrator is caught, we don’t know their motivation.

I am a Brit with the misfortune to know a racist and it hurts my heart how many people like their shitty xenophobic FB posts. I’m engaged in a passive-aggressive war of attrition (tm Stewart Lee) though because every time they post something racist or xenophobic or Islamophobic, I post something aggressively leftwing.…

Quebec is fucked. I think it’s getting a little better as the Bloc Québécois is less popular, but the whole niqab issue (not to mention that stupid Charter of Values thay fortunately didn’t pass) is actually nauseating. You’d think since francophones have always had to fight for their equal language rights, Quebec…

It was total bullshit about that mosque in Peterborough (of all places! I thought it was supposed to be full of hippies from Trent Uni?) and I do 100% agree and am aware of the issues Canada faces re race, indigenous relations, and refugees. The way conservatives are using the events of last week to score political…

I’d rather live in the UK, with laws to protect against racial hatred, free good-quality healthcare, and next to no chance of getting shot.

Yeah, fuck you bitch. Trinidad don’t want you.

True. But whether is is electoral suicide is still untested. The SNP is very left wing and they have been successful so maybe Corbyn can too?

Or the Lebanese killed in Beirut? And the Turks in Ankara? And the Iraqis in our drone strikes? And the Afghans under our bombs?
