Racism....Sh'ya, right.
Those of you not living in the United Kingdom at present may not be aware that the heavy charged of racism has been levelled at Channel 4, the makers of Celebrity Big Brother. The United Kingdom and India's respective governments are being dragged into a political stoush that has erupted during the aforementioned show, due to the behaviour of three white, English women towards an Indian Bollywood star, all of whom are currently incarcerated in the minimum security of the Big Brother House.
(You could be parolled at any time. On Sundays, TWO people get parolled. Woop de doo.)
So what is this apparent racist behaviour towards this Indian megastar, this representative of Indian beliefs and Hinduism? Did the three white harpies force-feed her sacred cow? Did they treat her much as the British did Indians during the Raj mutiny, when they strapped live Indians to muzzles of cannons loaded with grapeshot? Did they throw her in the clink a la Ghandi when he went on a hunger strike?
Umm, no.
Apparently, they said her cooking was crap. They might have said she smelt like curry. That's about it.
And we're not talking about intellectual powerhouses here. The three white women in question are C grade celebs all, one of whom, Jade Goody, was aptly described to be "as thick as pigshit, and with similar sex appeal." Jeremy Clarkson called her a moose, and wasn't far off. It'd be like shagging a side of beef.
Somehow though, the trash tabloids have them speaking on behalf of all of England.
I mean really.
The problem with England, is they have this pitiful disposition towards immediately hitting the ground, duck and cover style, whenever someone drops the R word. As my friend will demonstrate,
This sort of utterance would cause Britain to have a collective coronary, and immediately hunt around for a convenient scapegoat. The whole country is going apeshit over this matter, and for the life of me, I can't understand why. Do they honestly think this is out and out racism? Maybe they do. Apparently calling someone a "Paki cunt" can make you do hard time.
Call him a "fat cunt" though, and you're off scot free. But both are visual judgments. The first draws it's inspiration from skin colour, the other draws it's inspiration from skin size. Surely if we're talking discrimination, they're both identical.
But in politically correct Britain, apparently not. Ultimately though, when it comes down to it, your average Brit doesn't know jack shit about racism.
This, is racism.
(Warning: Seriously disturbing visual images follow.)
This is a picture of the lynching of Jesse Washington, a mentally disabled negro found guilty by jury (in a deliberation of 4 minutes) of murdering a white woman. The crowd at the trial stormed the court, grabbed him, castrated him, cut off his fingers, his feet, his ears, beat him with bricks and shovels and burned him alive, as a cheering crowd of 5000 Texans watched.
This is the town of Sharpesville, after South African police opened fire on a demonstration of South African blacks, killing 67. This happened in 1960. 34 years of apartheid followed this.
And finally, we have apartheid...in Queensland. Australian aborigines live shorter lives, drink more, spend more time in jail, commit more crimes, achieve less and generally live shittier lives than white people in Australia.
This, is racism. It's institutionalised, and exists to this day. The Deep South, South Africa, and Australia say it doesn't exist, but it's there. And everyone knows it is too.
And Britain thinks it's being racist because some trollop called Jade with the IQ of a brick said to an Indian woman her cooking sucks?
Please. Get out there and smell the race hate.

Yup, we're being hammered with the UK BB racism story over here, about how dreadful it all is, the protests, the controversy.... but I think this is the first time I've ever read what they actually said about her.
