He's perfectly happy for a powerful group to decide upon the lives of an oppressed group, without any consultation with or input from the oppressed group - but when it affects him, when he's a member of the oppressed group, suddenly it's not right.

Yes, Ben, it's not right.

Having said that I was also surprised that the news about the new Scottish Labour leader was being reported everywhere as being the first ethnic minority leader of a political party.

I think the Woke require a perpetual Year Zero to show how incredibly racist etc everyone else is. They need it to be the case that everyone in history until them was completely unenlightened.

You can expect continued excitement every time we get a female Prime Minister, black newsreader, gay athlete...

(Personally I'm of the age where I remember getting a male Prime Minister for the first time in my memory and thinking it weird. "Prime Minister" was just a naturally female-associated job...)

Imagine if I was Black and four white people were asked to judge if I was a member of an ethnic minority. It would be as offensive

As can be clearly seen in the screen grab it was not four white people who were judging him. But surely just he and the Jewish presenter could have the discussion so I can see why he was pissed off.

Having said that I was also surprised that the news about the new Scottish Labour leader was being reported everywhere as being the first ethnic minority leader of a political party. Has no-one heard of Disraeli? There's a very useful Wikipedia page with a list of Jewish politicians and both the Conservative and the Liberals had Jewish leaders long before the Labour Party did.

Oh dear.... Grin

It really proves it doesn't it? No capacity for critical thought at all.
