WTF India Willoughby Racist tweet

I said this on another thread but I'll put it here too as this is specifically about racism

This is from an article just two years ago:

India Willoughby left This Morning viewers in shock when she appeared on the chat show to discuss the topic of migrants crossing the English Channel today.

When asked her opinion on the situation, India exclaimed, "Thank God for Nigel Farage! I’ll say it. The fact the French are escorting them over is awful. We’ve got Brexit and we’re leaving the EU."

Sharing her thoughts on what should be done in light of the growing numbers, "We should take control. I think it’s £100million we’ve spent on this problem. I’d go down the Trump route.

"Why not have a nice spikey barbed wire fence somewhere on the channel? Instead of using the English channel, they should use the legal channel.

Dear me. I don't like cancel culture, but that tweet would probably get anyone else cancelled.

There's no 'equivalence'. Black women are women - more than likely our common ancestral 'mitochondrial Eve' would have been black. White women are a relatively small subsection of women. Otoh, males aren't, and can't ever be, any sort of women. Calling IW a 'transwoman' is a massive compromise and concession, a polite fiction.

Absolutely disgusting behaviour.

Who would say, in the year 2022, that black women are a sub-set of women???? They ARE women, just like every other person born a woman, and unlike every person born a man!!! FFS, how unbelievably racist! If someone said something like this to my (white) face, I would have a hard time not bopping them one!)

I'm not sure you can be a transwoman without being racist tbh. How else do you explain all the talk of " re education " of women with religious beliefs that do not allow usage of mixed sex facilities. And the constant implications that butch lesbians and black women cloud the definition of woman so much that the next logical step is that men/males can have it too.

This should not surprise anyone

Oh sorry for X-post.

At this point I think IW has to be GC and on a peaking mission.

The 'all one word' argument in general, as far as I am aware, something that TRAs get a kick out of. They want there to be subsets of women, so that TWAW are a subset of women ('trans women') just like - so the racist argument goes - 'black women are women'.

Many GC feminists use the term 'transwomen' to describe men who say they are transgender. They deny that transwomen are a subset of women. TWAM.

IW was probably riffing on that in a particularly offensive, stupid way. Is the tweet still up? It's quite spectacularly awful.

I may be wrong re ^^ btw.

Awful. India is a nasty piece of work. It's amazing that India is willing to display such racism publicly. Why would anyone want to have this person on their television programme?

The use of "blackwoman" is about genderists' objection to the word "transwoman". They prefer "trans woman" as according to them that's more descriptive of a type of woman, like for example "black woman" or "working-class woman" whereas "transwoman" sounds more like a different thing. (Like, I don't know, "tomboy" or something - though this is all built on very shaky ground linguistically anyway.)

Previously, transactivists have made the racist claim that trans woman are just a sub-group of women exactly like "black women" are (interesting they seem to see non-black as the default). In other words, black women are just like trans women - which is massively offensive as trans women are male, and all women are women and not the same thing as TW.

So IW is now using "blackwoman" in retaliation at being called a "transwoman".

Yet IW has never said the same to a white women.

Doubling down.

For when it’s deleted….

IW is a prize cactus. Nothing surprises me. IW blocked me on Twitter. I felt quite proud.

The use of the word blackwoman is not the only racisim in IWs tweet.
It comes as no surprise that they are showing their racist colours.

IW has always talked a load of old rot.

No, not sure.

Willoughby seems to be suggesting they buy tampons to put in their ears so they can't hear women wondering why the male sex need menstruation products. Given this is on twitter maybe Willoughby would be better off using a pad to cover their eyes

Oh, and suggesting black women are talentless and only successful because of woke politics, which is ironic as someone who's claim to fame is transitioning. Someone who appears to have no discernable talent what so ever.

Think this is all jealously, bubbled though with racism and misogyny.
