You have nothing to worry about as it's perfectly fine to say these things. In what world is ANY sort of racism okay? What minorities are we mocking?

I'm sure we all agree that none is ok. The question is "is it ok if Johnson mocks watermelon smiles, bum boys or letterboxes?" I don't think it is but plenty of people on here have defended his words. I think @ramesses has analysed the letterbox article pretty accurately.

Doubt any white person has ever suffered slightly from the stupid comments she made. Johnson using Letterboxes, Watermelon Smiles and Bum Boys is important. It gives idiots the green light to use such words to mock Johnson targets. He would be severely disciplined for using such language in the workplace. If you don't agree, get a few colleagues to stand around a black person at work and get them all to laugh at the "watermelon smile". Or point at a muslim customer and tell her she looks like a letterbox. I would imagine saying white people divide and conquer and women who are blue eyed with blonde hair aren't suitable for employment would probably result in dismissal.

I should be ashamed of myself because Abbot's racism does not bother me but not because I think Johnson's Letterbox comments were clearly meant to cause discomfort to muslims?

I get it ok. None of you want to admit that Johnson's comments were terrible. Maybe you even thought they were funny, or even liked that he was having a go at the Muslims. We've had similar debates about Farage's clearly racist Brexit poster. But there must be a better defence than whataboutdianneabbot, as if I any the other 'far left Antifa fanboys' adore her and are always saying how great she is. Johnson hasn't me yet. But I know people worried that he is in charge after his comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
