If you dare to be white and proud you are a far right racist. They just need to breathe the r word and you can be looking at a judge while no copper could care less what is aimed at you.

Ludicrous that Paine has had to step down. It was a consensual relationship between two adults. World's gone mad. Also have a look at BBC sport. They have hidden Rafiq and his comments on Jews at bottom of main page. Doesn't fit the narrative they are pushing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was even an entire program where people sat around a table for an hour discussing what it is about being black that makes them proud. I am sure I don't have to state the obvious here but imagine if the shoe was on the other foot. How the **** is this kinda thing making us a more tolerant society!

It was investigated nearer the time and it was found to not be worthy of further punishment. And the real kicker. The woman didn’t complain until 7 months after the photo was sent. Which just happened to be at the same time as she was sacked for stealing. Stupid arse that shouldn’t have sent her a picture of his dick, but on this occasion the complainant doesn’t seem a very nice person either. Yeah But Australia has long taken 'the moral high ground'. Stupid decisions previously for minor incidents. Those in charge are responding to what has happened in England or at least are worrying about similar things being brought up. Though worryingly Australia can only be better with a different captain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 15 hours ago, Des Lynam said: My dad used to teach students from all over the world and when the chinese students took him out for food at a restaurant they frequented he was given a completely different menu than normal. He was informed that UK folks use the round eyes menu. I've been to China a few times and, although I've never heard that term, it's certainly true about the food some marvellous stuff on the menus (and some a little more iffy) but definitely very little overlap with the stuff on Mr Lee's menu.

I P Knightley Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 14 hours ago, jonesy said: Think I read a while back that research had been done into this and we are programmed through evolution to spot differences in those who appear vaguely similar to us partly to stop in-breeding. We all have a natural blind spot when it comes to identifying physical differences between other ethnicities (or at least that’s what I tell my Chinese wife when she finds me in bed with Korean and Japanese bursds). There's a little more to it than that, though. If you consider Chinese men, for instance, compared to British: there's less variation in height; there's less (or no) variation in hair colour; and I don't think I've seen a Chinese man with anything other than straight hair. So there are fewer marker points for us to make a distinction and, because we're not constantly surrounded by Chinese people and expected to make a distinction between them, "they all look the same" is not a massive surprise.
