Regarde Aduck posted:Really? As someone in this lovely island by far the most obvious racism is towards anyone that is thought to be Muslim. Indians might get hit in the crossfire because racists aren't very clever. I'd say target number 1 is Muslims with 'immigrant' a close second. Immigrant meaning eastern European, north African or Syrian. To be fair the Muslim boogey man is pretty recent in terms of our long history of being lovely to anyone that isn't British. When I was growing up, brown people where "p*kis", their religion didn't come into it. This changed after 9/11 and the 7/7 bombings. And that's probably the major thing that's different in the UK (and much of Europe) compared to the USA. Yes the UK is racist to black and brown people but also to white people, I've definitely met people who regard Indians as hard working, beneficial members of society but view Polish people as lazy benefit scroungers.

Actual 'scientific'/dogmatic racism is pretty anomalous on a historical scale. The main concerns are always: 1) Are we at war with them? 2) Are they takin are jerbs? 3) If a relevant religion is kicking around at the time, have they been saved? Like you still get bigotry but it's not spun up into a long term ideology in the same way. Usually.

Strategic Tea posted:It's very class based. You will get overt flack less for your actual skin colour and more for not speaking and behaving like a white middle class office worker at all times. Eh... You get a non-white person and a white person of equal 'class behavior' and you'll still get comments on the former that you wouldn't get with the latter.

It’s why we wank ourselves off about WW2 endlessly, partly because it was a time when we weren’t basically loving irrelevant on the world stage and partly because it was a time before there were so many foreign-born or descended people trundling about the isles.

RenegadeStyle1 posted:Are the stereotypes the same about black people in the UK as the US? I never knew there was black vs white racism on a large scale in the UK like there is here, although I don't know why I thought that. Most of the racism I always hear about there is against Indians. Most stereotypes do generally carry over, but some really specific ones don't. This is more Australian than the UK, but years ago there was controversy about a KFC ad that aired here during a big cricket match between Australia and... I believe the West Indies, where an Australian guy sitting with the West Indies supporters got them all to shut up by giving them a bucket of fried chicken. That ad rightfully got REALLY bad treatment once the internet found it, especially from an American company. But it kinda just passed without incident in Australia because 'black people love fried chicken' isn't a strongly held stereotype here, so it just read as 'get people to shut up by giving them good food to eat', which was... probably the intention?

And conveniently forgetting the vast numbers of folks "from the colonies" that, you know, fought and died to stop the nazis. I swear that WWII broke the nation's psyche in a profound way. A generation of men in their 50s who grew up on Dad's Army & Allo Allo somehow convinced that they fought and that it was great.

Mak0rz posted:Yeah I was thinking that it's like they have to say a cop "allegedly shot" someone despite three separate cameras that clearly and unambiguously showed him unloading an entire magazine into the victim's back This only works one way. They’ll say stuff like “the suspect shot a man on Fifth Avenue.” This is a flagrant misuse of the word. Police have a suspect in custody. That suspect may or may not have pulled the trigger on Fifth Avenue.

Skwirl posted:I was just thinking of the response in America when Cheerios had a mixed race couple in an ad. Diversity as a positive thing in advertising has been around for decades at this point, and normalized enough that even racists just roll their eyes at 'political correctness' and move on if they see a black family representing all families in a major ad campaign. If a product or company has never used a person of color in an ad before, they'll get some poo poo for it, but right now bigots are more inclined to get huffy about Latino, Muslim, Gay, and interracial families. The last ad melt-down I remember was Coca cola doing some national diversity pablum with the Spangled Banner where one line was sung in Spanish.

I think I remember that, was it a Super Bowl commercial? People melted down because they got "political." I was so confused when when people get mad at that Cheerios commercial, and then I remembered that ~50 years ago, interracial relationships were still illegal (and punishable) in large portions of the US. I'm not saying boomers are more racist than other age groups...but they still remember a time when being openly racist was commendable in most social circles.

I think I mentioned it in another thread, but driving through backcountry CA I got to listen to a radio host giving a sermon on how Jesus wasn't a peace-loving pansy like liberals would have you believe. He was a man's man who rolled up his sleeves and put the fear of god into people. So yes, they 100% believe that the sermon on the mount has been twisted by the liberal agenda. Furthermore, the needle's eye refers to the gate in Jerusalem that...

It's not quite the same, but I watched the entirety of Netflix' A Series of Unfortunate Events because it was narrated by Patrick Warburton and starred Neil Patrick Harris. Some of the guest stars are also pretty good.
