Woke watch

Post arsene york-hunt »

"There is a very good section on GB news where the ludicrous idiocies of Wokeness are looked at I thought we would should have one for WHO. I'll start with Baptiste on BBC: In Hungary,an ambassador's family are kidnapped by Islamic terrorists and carry out atrocities. At the end of the last episode Baptiste finds out that it is a false flag operation and conveniently, the real culprits are white supremacists who want to stop all immigration. Coronation Street ITV a gay black footballer is stopped by the police, because he is driving an expensive car. He is pushed to the ground during an altercation, and damages his leg threatening his career. Could have been written by Dawn Butler or a BLM activist."

"""I find it ironic because the people who make these adverts grew up in areas where there weren’t brown people"" So you don't watch the adverts, but you do intensive research to find out who made them, what their background is, where they grew up and what the local demographic in those areas was? In my book that's slightly bizarre behaviour."

"Fifth - what annoys be is the blatantly cynical and exploitative attempts by corporations to give the impression that they are morally righteous by featuring token blacks/disableds in every ad. I find it ironic because the people who make these adverts grew up in areas where there weren’t brown people, went to university’s where there were no working class brown people and see the use of brown people and disabled people as a marketing tool. I actually think it’s quite exploitative and patronising and so cynical it disgusts me a little bit. It’s not the brown people/disabled people it’s the shameless use of them to try and sell me some shit, as if I’m too stupid to realise what they’re trying to do. Insults the intelligence somewhat."

"Are people upset at black people being on adverts? I don't get it. Firstly I don't care who's on adverts. Secondly, I couldn't name any advert or tell you who's on it - do people actually watch them and then get angry about it? I find this strange."

"Talking of ads I was talking to someone at the match on Sunday and he told me that when the revolting Virgin ad comes on he automatically mutes the television. You know the one, where a black teen girl uses an old film of her dad singing crap and modernises it into a shit rap number. I responded to him by saying I do that as well. If I found my dad performing like that I would have been ashamed of him."

"Unless Walliams book, an anthology, contained only stories about naughty or annoying kids from an ethnic minority background, how can it possibly be racist? Is the complainer suggesting that only the children of white people can be annoying? Isn't that a bit, well, racist. Walliams should have told her to fuck off. 10 years ago when he was a bit less cunty, he would have done."

"A David Walliams story about a Chinese boy is to be removed from one of his children's books after criticism that it contained ""harmful stereotypes"". A new edition of The World's Worst Children will be released next year without the story Brian Wong, Who Was Never, Ever Wrong. The move comes after podcaster Georgie Ma complained the book was ""normalising jokes on minorities from a young age"". Minorities? There!s 80 million of them in the CCP FFS!"
