Wokeism of the day Revised Mod Note in OP and threadbanned users

If you want to see the most explicit racism you'll see in modern west, look at the replies in this thread.

This is wokeness in its purest form. Pure anti white racism, the only racism that modern society tolerates.

Their aim is power. Always was... they are now courting the ability to tap into a demographic of voter that might strengthen their voter base, meanwhile selling the rest of us and our wellbeing down the river...it’s potentially very socially divisive too. Leo and his right wing ilk care nothing about people of different ethnicities or cultures... only if it gives THEM a leg up and that’s what this is...politicking.

If this fûcking carry on starts in the Dail... it’s going to be prevalent in every avenue of life....

Going for a job....

“Due to us having a perceived under representation of non Irish ethnicities, no white Irish need apply”

It’s a shame that FF have and indeed still have such a fûcking poor and uncharismatic leader as Martin...somebody better would have shut Leo the fûck up a long time ago....

I’d be voting for the flying mongo moose party before a FG candidate ever receives a vote..absolute grim party and people...

Lets see whats in the paper of record today..."Irish feminists must avoid British trap of transphobia"

https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/irish-feminists-must-avoid-british-trap-of-transphobia-1.4507862

Author Emer O’Toole "is associate professor of Irish performance studies at the school of Irish studies, Concordia University in Montreal"

Folks it would seem that Canadian college campuses are the epicenter of woke, guilt tripping us across the Atlantic courtesy of an utterly complicit media.

Go on the Irish ladies telling Ms. O’Toole what’s what and putting their names to the letters. That genuinely takes courage today.

Don't ever go to Australia, love. You'd hate the way they brutally truncate names there.

Potential-Monke · 14-03-2021 8:56am

People from non-African countries have difficulty pronouncing African names they've only heard for the first time shocker! Wonder how the Africans would get on with pronouncing traditional Irish names. Poor Saoirse Ronan must cry herself to sleep in her millionaires bed every night over the offence!

I have an Irish second name and have it mispronounced all the time! As long as its an honest attempt and not a piss take there is no issue.

But then Wuraola knows this, but brow beating the Irish about racism and upping diversity quotas is so hot right now!

I went to school with two first cousins who had the same last name, 'Boshell'. They each pronounced it differently. One 'Bosh-ell' and the other 'Bo-Shell'.

NIMAN · 14-03-2021 9:21am

This is unfortunately another chance to make a story where one doesn't exist.

People don't mispronounce your name because they are racist, they mispronounce it because they are bad at pronunciation.

If you bring over a German, an Italian, a Swede etc to Ireland, there is a fair chance many folk will pronounce their names wrong too. The colour of your skin is irrelevant.

I worked in Africa, not once did they get my first name or surname correct, actually so bad at the start that I didn't know they were calling me, happening in medicals, banks etc., I thought it was amusing. Got used to waiting to see the confused look and then the butcher pronunciation to know it was me, it was funny all looks of confusion. Do I think or did I think it was racist, not at all and it would be ridiculous to think of it as racist

NIMAN · 14-03-2021 9:36am

Because you have a bit of common sense, and don't have a victim complex.

Kivaro · 14-03-2021 10:19am

Unilever, one of the biggest consumer products companies in the world, have decided to remove the word "normal" from all their beauty products and ads as a way to be inclusive.

So it is not normal to be normal anymore.
Wokeness hitting 7.9 on the Richter Scale.

You know when a story is legitimately twenty years old.

Yes , twenty years old and it's pulled up again on Reddit and Twitter as being an example of how woke the world has become

And then Irish people fall for it on the internet and start pushing the tweets as new.

That .

Oh and we will the note the origin of this 'story' back then too.

The group who literally make money off teeing this stuff for angry people that gobble it up.

Gobble gobble gobble gobble. Gullible gullible.

I wonder why he's back in the news

With Pepé Le Pew already cut from the starting lineup of Space Jam: A New Legacy, is Speedy Gonzales the next controversial Looney Tune to be benched from LeBron James's high-profile sequel? Not if Gabriel Iglesias has anything to say about it.
The comedian recently revealed on Twitter that he's voicing Mexico's fastest mouse in the Malcolm D. Lee-directed movie...

Did he really at one point join a dating site for trans people and start sharing profiles of the women he felt were not feminine enough for him?

If so, that’s a bit more than taking on the woke.

He was highlighting something that many lesbians been complaining about for a while, that lesbians dating apps are becoming overrun with males (which transgender women are, unchangeably - it’s not misgendering, it’s correctly sexing). These lesbians were being dismissed and still are.

So if you think he went too far here, doesn’t that give you pause for thought at all? What was too far about this? I thought if a male identified as a woman, we needed to just accept it. Eddie Izzard happily admitted recently in an interview with Lorraine recently to switching back to “boy mode” for roles. Is it okay for Eddie to slip ‘woman’ on and off like a costume, as if that’s all there is to being a woman? If so, why not Graham?

Its all a bit confusing.

Eddie previously identified as a transvestite, saying he felt like “a complete boy plus half a girl” and referred to himself as “a lesbian trapped in a man’s body”.

No, it does not give me any pause for thought. I don't think about what others do (including Eddie Izzard), once they are living their own life their way, and not harming others.

Graham can slip in and out of whatever costume he wants to and make himself looking like an extremist - prepared to lose his job and life over some petty crusade.

What is out of order though, is taking peoples photos and profiles and sharing them on his blog.

Its knutish behaviour.

Mod

Folks this thread has strayed very very far away from its origins as a slightly more lightheared take on 'wokeism'. We need to return to that tone and move away from the more serious discussion that honestly belongs in Current Affairs / IMHO.

The mods are going to have to start removing posts and, if necessary, actioning users if the above is not adhered to. We realise the thread has moved away from that lighthearted tone in recent times, so this may be considered a bit of a change in direction - but its one that is necessary to realistically and justifyably keep this thread in AH and open.

TL;DR Let us all try our best to keep the thread lighthearted. Thanks.
