Racist Threads

Anyone who has to call themselves an anti racist probably has something to prove.

Normal people don’t feel the need to wear a badge and tell people about it like ‘look at me, over here, right here, I’m an anti racist’.

No , in the end that isn't what happened. HQ moved The Staffroom out of Active Threads to minimise pile ons, as many of the worst threads for aggressive visitors were posted initially in Staffroom. Most teachers then more or less left the Staffroom and many MN altogether.

There’s something quite weird about looking for racism everywhere. It must be tiring and mentally exhausting to constantly find racism in everything, whether it’s there or not.

Indeed. Racism is illegal. And it is NOT subjective. If it was, the only person's opinion who would matter is the victim subjected to racism. People like to call it bias this and unconscious that. It is RACISM and the person saying it is racist, however aghast they feel about being called out on it.

And they may not. The Sahara is greening actually both due to natural geological cycles as well as higher CO2. This stuff isn’t really as predictable as you think.

Me too.

Simply put a 💐 after every post that's racist/ offensive/ massively overstepping. Instead of the good old fashioned mumsnet biscuit. Suggest doing the same with painted roundabout too!

I would, but many of the ones I have seen personally I have reported and have been deleted by MNHQ for being racist and/or hate speech.

You can confirm with MNHQ that this is the case if you wish as they probably will remember. Dawn deleted about 5 in a row at one point.

It was an appropriate diversion to you trying to blame asylum seekers for expensive fossil fuels !

It will. Parts of the world with high and fast-growing populations may well become uninhabitable. We’re not there yet, but it’s very likely.

@JollyUmberDeer it is not @PandoraSocks job to feed you evidence and examples so that you can objection handle them with endless whataboutary.

You are either an active anti racist, or not. It is very simpe.

Hiding this thread, in 3... 2.. 1!

I think you are probably right PG.

I have spent a lot of time arguing against the racism, producing actual facts and figures. It is all ignored, piled on, laughed at.

I do see @OchonAgusOchonOh 's point too about tacit approval, though. But if we did all stop engaging and MN became just an echo chamber of racism, maybe MNHQ would be more stringent.

MNHQ has got a bit better recently IME and a few of the more obvious racist trolls have had the boot. But others are left to run riot.

Anyway, no doubt this thread will be piled on very soon.

Climate change isn’t driving migration. Poverty is—so when you block developing countries from building cheap, fossil fuel-derived energy sources, you are essentially hampering their ability to progress.

Note that you aren’t getting climate migrants from the Gulf or Singapore, both of which have extreme environmental conditions.

Anyway climate change is not even a basis for asylum so … yeah.

Let them keep profits from renewables. If you don’t like the migrant situation now, you’re not ready for what that’s gonna look like as the climate changes and far bigger groups are forced to move to cooler areas.

Racism isn't subjective

And yes, if people express transphobic views, you can call them transphobic.

If you restrict their ability to expand supply (which various green regulations are wont to do), then that limited supply is going to skyrocket in price—ironically giving them bigger profits. You are kind of their best friend, since green alternatives kind of suck.
