It doesn't bother me but if I was black I reckon it would.

He was simply highlighting the ignorance of the girl with whom he had once been to The Oval, and who obviously couldn't make the distinction between the players from two entirely different continents

Sorry, what?
The BBC says “the countryside is racist?” And they want to lecture us about urban misconceptions of reality?.
They’ve clearly forgotten they put the below programme on the air for 20 years, as well as employing and protecting a fairly lengthy list of serial paedophiles.
If they think they can outrun their past by trying to denounce entire sections of society with blanket accusations, then it’s time to disband the racist and paedophile BBC.

They say the countryside is racist, so does that imply urban area's aren't or is this just the media manipulating the narrative?
That said some of those in the media here are having a hard time with the government pulling their funding out because primarily the shite job their done in the last 5-6 years.
It appears their gravy train has hit an abrupt halt..

Not really Tarzan will always be white because the premise of the whole story is the strangeness of a white child lost in the jungle and raised by apes. Mowgli though is a different story though.

That alone doesn't normally stop them.

Wouldn't be so sure with Disney. Snow White was a bit different

You can call a white president a monkey and that's perfectly OK yet call a president of African/Irish decent a monkey, then that's racist.
Either way a derogatory comment should be treated the same way by the media regardless or it selective hypocrisy deemed acceptable.

Of course it's racist. The act of calling a black man a monkey can't be anything but. Our infant school teacher used to call us monkeys it wasn't racist because we were all white but behaving like monkeys. Black people are called monkeys because it's presumed they look like them not because of perceived behavior. You know that. Don't be obsequious.

Your making assumptions , apart from the fact the said white president was referred to as a monkey purely as a derogatory statement and actually has the highest IQ apparently of any current former living president.
Two wrongs still don't make it right.
Equally judge people by their ability of what they do constructively rather that what they say or look.
That said peoples "prejudices" are more ingrained than just skin colour.

No assumptions at all. It's how it is white man called a monkey it's because of his behaviour if it's a black man it's because of his looks. You know it.

Who say it their looks???I'm being quite specific, explain exactly why a previous US president was referred to unecessarily as a monkey is OK or can you be selective with prejudice if its deemed acceptable especially by the left of the political spectrum.

The media is lying by omission. There's ethnic minorities in urbans areas around London that absolutely detest each other but you'll not hear a squeak out of the media about it. Indian Sikhs ain't exactly keen on Pakistanis and Bangladeshis and vice versa. Indian Hindus often have a massive dislike of black people. Each stick to their own and won't have anything to do with the other if they can at all avoid it.

White people don't get called monkeys as an insult do they?

I looked it up the most recent American president with a high IQ would have been Clinton his behaviour would had classed him as a monkey if you had called Obama a monkey it would have been based on the assertion Africans look like monkeys even if he was behaving badly it would have been a racial slur. It's just something an educated person wouldn't say. It's got nothing to do with being left or right wing.

No true. Our primary school teacher would tell us we were little monkeys. Obviously in 1970's Lincolnshire we were all very white. The Romanian ambassador to Kenya was sent home in disgrace after watching monkeys playing in the trees at the UN HQ in Nairobi and telling all the other ambassadors 'Look the African delegation has arrived'arrived'.

Can just imagine Corbett trying to explain that to Barker, would have made a great sketch!

Whether you like someone or not you should try to be polite about. Look up partition in Indian and find out why Sikhs and Hindu Punjabis and Pakistanis are not friends. Yorkshire folk don't like Lancastrians. Glasgwegians don't like people from Edinburgh. No one is lying about anything it's all out there.

 

[Swarfmonkey]

I've yet to come across Yorkshire folk that outright refuse to work with Lancastrians whereas I have personally come across those of Indian extraction that absolutely refuse to work with people of Pakistani and Bangladeshi extraction.

There's plenty of lying by omission. As an example a lot of very serious shyte has gone down in Southall between the different ethnic groups in the last ten years that never makes the papers. The only reason I get to hear about it is because I have friends and colleagues that live there.
