Is it cuz I is white?

"White Male Privilege" is an expression used by my Sister-in-Law. She's also a University Lecturer. Go figure.

"pale male and stale" is an openly used term at my clientco when discussing the introduction of 'positive action' to our hiring practices.

Splendid, try throwing back "Diversity Equals Dilution".

I prefer "who gives a tulip what they are, question is are they any good?"

that should be the only metric.

Maybe they've not been infected with the PC virus yet.

I think this is probably true.

So the rise of racism in the UK will put us above France & Eastern Europe?

Might do. Societal changes can happen very quickly. It wasn't long ago that arguing against gay marriage was acceptable. Now it's regarded as being utterly beyond the pale.

Bingo!

Over in foreign land, there's a vote on whether to extend hate laws to protect homosexuals from homophobic comments. The argument from a right-wing homosexual politician is that it's unnecessary, and what homosexuals largely want is equality under the law, not special treatment. It really shows how leftist intersectionalist theory has penetrated into the mainstream.

It seems these days that issues which are statistically not the norm are being projected as norm. We are now being subjected to the "vegan" ideology, which clearly statistically is not the normal eating pattern.

It still smarts, doesn't it?

Let it go!

the gogs are a different breed from the rest of us!

People happy with the status quo don't have a tendency to protest. Therefore any "protesting" will garner attention.

As for Vegans, they're a bunch of intolerant ******* who need to be wiped off the face of the planet - opinions my own.

Yes societal changes for the better are normally quite quick.Perverting a whole populace takes a little longer.

I'm quite happy for sexuality to be a protected characteristic some people (I use the term loosely) have a problem with others being gay and try to make their unpleasant views felt. I believe the same for other protected characteristics should be protected so such scum can be prosecuted. But as that gentlemen says its not preferential treatment they are after just equal treatment.

Frankly I doubt it, but I admire your optimism. Also, your phraseology made me smile, since there are those who'd consider allowing gay marriage to be exactly perverting a whole populace.

And look how quickly opinion was swayed concerning <censored. wrong forum>.

My wife was watching Loose Women. There was an impassioned speech from one of the Asian panel members, pointing out that racism isn't just white people. It exists in BAME communities as much as in the white population - perhaps even more. Deny the validity of Fox's point of view by dismissing it as speaking from white male privilege is really ignorant/ideological behaviour. She has no idea what his experience and knowledge of racism and how it affects people is.
