I received a card in the post today with something I felt was quite woke:rolleyes: . The over-representation and push of the minority in Ireland, as if they are trying to drip-feed the multiculturalism ideology on us. Through news media, state television, radio and now stamps:pac: It's always the one culture and minority tho. It reminds me of when my mate (who is Irish, whose parents are Chinese) said that you never see any efforts or representation for the Asian community like you see afforded to black people in Ireland. Same with other ethnic minorities whose parents immigrated to Ireland. In a book of 20 stamps, the majority is one picture and six stamps to for the nativity. They could of done it where int was inclusive of other minorities.0

If the ****ing mermaid was originally tanned and she was then done in a paler shade of european white, you'd be hearing all about it
Absolute mentalism

Yeah HCA specifically mentioned that merpeople were all BIPOC
If you had some Latino Disney character suddenly turn into a pasty redhead in the remake there'd be ****ing war on twitter until Disney changed it back, the other way around and its "What colour should mermaids be" from the same weirdos who freak out about the skin colour of voice actors
You wanna make everything about race fine, everything is about race.

I dont freak out over the skin colour of any cartoon character, or the people who voice them.especially one that's not even depicting a human being of any race.0 -

Is that a Christmas stamp? I thought it was from a series showing Irish Eurovision entrants down through the decades and this was 1982.

Well there is most certainly a hierarchy of "race" going on and the "woke" are just as obsessed about it as racists so when they go virtue signalling this is how they do it. Take another hamfisted example on Gov.ie around early development stuff for parents and kids:1800_Ladladlad wrote: »Through news media, state television, radio and now stamps:pac: It's always the one culture and minority tho.

Not one White guy. In Ireland. Where the vast majority of men, even among non locals are pale as feck. Apparently all Irish women are also in multiracial relationships. Note too no Black women. African American women commentators have long noted the White woke tend to ignore them in their hierarchy.
In all this wokeness where are the White immigrant communities of Ireland? Well they're invisible, even though they make up the largest demographic by far. Well over 200,000 in number. There are over a 100,000 Polish people alone. Of the over 10,000 Spaniards, Italians, Germans each. Nada. East Asian folks don't get a look in either, well they tend to be successful, indeed on average can be more successful than the natives wherever they go. In the US they've actually moved Asian Americans out of the POC league because they skew the figures too much and kinda ruin the "it's all about racism" stuff. Indian folks another demographic that tend to be absent for similar reasons to the Asian folks. And indeed they prove it's not about "race" as a diaspora on average they are better educated and wealthier than Pakistani folks and they're the same race. You'd think this might be pointed out to snuff out the racists ideas? But nope.
Well when the right on are so wedded to group identity politics and the oppressed/oppressor narrative that would hurt their ickle heads. Of course in one way this group identity politics is as racist as any nazi because it holds the philosophy of low expectations entirely based on skin colour and/or group affiliation, not on the individual and yet we're told to ignore skin colour, while they're obsessed with it? Then again since the woke seem to undergo surgical irony removal as part of their faith they can't spot the obvious problems in their politic.Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.
