60 posts in 13 hours suggest your personal opinion is out of step and some people do want to talk about this dollop of right wing shit. Anyway, you've made your point now. If the topic is of no interest to you, there is no need for you to post on this thread again.
in six month's time he'll be the subject of a late-night 'where are they now?' bit on channel 5
He also talked over her as though she was shit. I expect he does this a lot. The twat.
And I suspect there's a shit load of privileged people identifying and lining up to agree with him, now that the right is emboldened by Brexit/Boris/Trump. I think things are going to get a lot, lot worse.
that's perhaps the weakest post i've ever seen you make. if you want to make your point, then stop repeating how fascinating it is and demonstrate how/why it is interesting. your 60 posts in 13 hours doesn't take account of a) the posts saying who the fuck is this man/why should i give a fuck or b) your ripostes of 'it is interesting really'. a bald post count really doesn't support your claim at all.
The likes of Pritti Patel are more dangerous in that regard, I think. 'See, a brown person agrees with me, so I can't be being racist...'
Well she's positively evil!
It is an argument if the person making it is a woman of colour who knows what she is talking about and is addressing a race issue. I dont see how you could think otherwise tbh.
Wtf is a 'woke woman'? Seem to have missed the memo...
Yeah, because one Sikh soldier in a predominantly white film should be seen as so diverse.Oh wait, he's off again. This was published one hour ago. What a fucking plum.
Laurence Fox hits out at 'racism' after Sikh soldier included in 1917
Actor Laurence Fox has hit out at the inclusion of a Sikh soldier in Oscar-nominated film 1917, calling it “institutionally racist”.www.standard.co.uk
The 1917 comment, however, clears things up. It leaves us in no doubt as to whether or not he is indeed a stupid, hateful racist cunt.
And one that is going to be repeatedly handed the oxygen of mainstream publicity because that's what their readers want to read. We're going fucking backwards.
I disagree. Being privilleged and white and arguing about whether something is racist shows absolutely no self awareness. Maybe he could learn something but no, he knew best.
The quota thing, I think. Plus, of course, he has a 'white is default' setting in his brain that he isn't even aware of.
i doubt that there would have been a sikh soldier as is depicted in the film in the events it's based on. however, i like most people can differentiate between what i believe to have happened (and of course i may be wrong) and how it is shown on screen. it's become common to include bame actors in historical productions when at the time of the events dramatised bame people may not have been present. that's something for the 'everything should be 100% accurate' people to argue about. it's just how things are done now and whether or not it is accurate it really doesn't seem to be to be racist in the least. i can't help feeling that by revealing his feelings as he has done, laurence fox is not acting in his own best interests.
One sixth of the British infantry in 1917 were from the Indian subcontinent so really there is probably under representation.
Yep. But we've had decades of period-drama film-making in which black people didn't exist in Britain before about 1962. So racist morons like him get all confused and distracted when they start appearing.
